Most associations and many non profits are highly distributed in terms of their membership and volunteers. In many ways this has added challenges in terms of member and volunteer training.
Over the years, eLearning has helped many organisations overcome some of the challenges by allowing widely distributed members and volunteers to attend classes through various online tools. This has been progress in many respects as it overcomes the time / location factor allowing attendees to participate / view courses remotely, in some cases “on demand” in terms of pre built and courses and course content.
One drawback however of many online programs has been the lack of social learning, the ability to truly participate, collaborate and engage with others in a course, almost as if you we’re in a live classroom. There are available and affordable, eLearning software solutions for associations and nonprofits.
The advent of various social networking and web 2.0 technologies has enhanced the ability to create a social experience for students. However the cost in time effort and capital, of integrating many disparate tools has often made it prohibitive for associations and non profits that are trying to function and grow with ever tightening administrative budgets.
There are many technologies, tools, websites available that could help the social learning process, but who has the time and money to take advantage of them.
This is where TOPYX comes in.
TOPYX is a inexpensive hosted solution that takes the integration work out of the equation.
