The field of technology is advancing
on a daily basis. At ILT, we work to keep abreast of the what advances
are beneficial for the projects we develop. Current technology we utilize
includes:
- the internet and intranet,
- digitized video,
- digitized audio,
- digital photos,
- scanners,
- CD generators,
- the satellite,
- simulations, and
- various software programs.
Internet / Intranet:
The internet is the world-wide web
which is accessible to individuals around the world. An intranet is
a closed networking system which is set up within a specific environment,
such as an office, organization, etc.
The internet can provide instant access
to up-to-date information. The number of people who have internet access
worldwide increases on a daily basis. It is has become one of the most
common methods of advertising and marketing. It has also given rise
to wide dissemination of education through distance learning programs.
Information provided via the internet
can be easily modified, thereby resulting in presentation of the most
current material. An web-site can track the number of "hits"
or times someone visits a site. An on-line catalog can be linked to
inventory databases, providing instant access to searches and photos
of items.
For web-sites who feature travel, recreation,
vacation sites, etc., we can incorporate a link on a web site to show
the current date and weather conditions for a specific area.
The internet also allows us to conduct
in-depth research on generally any topic, ensuring that content and
features included in a project are all-inclusive.
The number of features available via
the internet are endless. If you can think it, we can do it.
Digitized Video:
ILT has a production studio which has
the ability to convert videotapes into digitized video. Digitized video
can be played back via a computer and can, therefore, be incorporated
into web-sites, computer-based training, web-based training, presentations,
and the like.
We also have the ability to create
digital video from scratch. Whatever your video needs, ILS has the equipment
available for production.
Digitized Audio:
At ILT, we can create audio clips such
as music, technical sounds such as error messages, heart sounds, etc.,
jingles, sound effects, or informational content for delivery via the
computer or internet.
Digital Photos:
We can generate digital images which
are of an excellent quality. These photos can then be inserted into
web-pages, catalogs, and print-based materials such as job-aids, brochures,
and procedure manuals. Our equipment consists of zoom lenses and micro-lenses
which allow us to take quality photos from as close as 2 inches or from
a distance.
Scanners:
Our production studio has equipment
necessary to scan text and graphics. As such, we can easily transfer
print-based information, such as policies and procedures, and place
them into a different format such as on a web-site or into a CBT programs.
Satellite:
With the use of a satellite, it is
now possible to decrease the cost of training by having an instructor
conduct training from one location with participants in one or more
locations. This decreases the need to send employees or clients to various
locations to receive necessary training.
E-mail, Chat Rooms and Bulletin
Boards:
The internet provides numerous methods
of communication between clients, employees, and vendors.
Simulations:
Simulations allow us to provide training
in environments which would otherwise be difficult, such as when it
would be too expensive, too dangerous, or too time-consuming. Simulations
can also be very valuable for providing repetitious practice of skills.
Software Programs:
Our developers are experienced with
the following software programs and programming languages:
