Total Access from Interaction Associates?: Web-Based Innovation Extends Collaboration-Focused Learning from the Workshop to the Desktop
Cambridge, MA (PRWEB) November 21, 2007 -- The 40-year innovator of collaboration methods and solutions - Interaction Associates - helps clients extend beyond workshop-based learning with a new product, Total Access, that embeds the firm?s collaboration tools (http://www.interactionassociates.com/services/websolutions.html), processes, and learning aids on the job.
"Total Access is an advanced web-based platform that meets an important challenge in learning -? the need to move from the workshop to the shop floor and equip people with learning tools and aids to address real needs in real time," said Michael Papanek, Interaction Associates General Manager and leader of the Total Access development team. "As collaboration experts, we know our clients increasingly require the means for extending collaboration methods enterprise-wide and across global companies. Total Access does that ?- using advanced Web 2.0 technology to put learning right at the point of need, where the need for results is most critical," added Papanek.
Total Access is an online toolkit of more than 400 customizable learning objects focused on collaboration as well as a collection of training videos and downloadable learning aids designed to help companies address specific business issues ?- including the need to manage organizational change; build great teams; and develop leaders (http://www.interactionassociates.com/leadership).
"Total Access isn't a learning content management system, which is a big point of clarification. Instead it's a digital platform for deepening an organization?s learning and change around collaboration methods that are so vital in business today," said Papanek.
"Total Access users get IA's top notch content and tools renowned for their practicality and powerful application to real job challenges," said Linda Dunkel, President and CEO of Interaction Associates. "Total Access goes way beyond mere articles on leadership (http://www.interactionassociates.com/ideas/) and descriptive content. We provide online solutions, tools, and resources for people to use in tackling real issues they are challenged with every day," Dunkel said.
"So many technologies today promise to get you to collaborate more ? like wikis, chat, file sharing, video teleconferencing, instant messaging, and the like. But technologies don?t collaborate, people do. Total Access pairs powerful in-person workshop learning with just-in-time tools to foster leadership, teamwork, collaboration, facilitation, and change," added Papanek.
