Acceletrain CLE: Where Training Meets Efficiency
The Acceletrain Collaborative Learning Environment (formerly known as VILT) places industry certified and expert instructors, peers, learners and multi-media components into a “borderless classroom”, an interactive learning environment that can span multiple physical locations. Acceletrain CLE combines the benefits of the traditional brick-and-mortar classroom with innovative learning techniques and the cost savings of internet-based training.
Our system is the result of eight years of design, integrated engineering and testing of sophisticated commercial off-the-shelf computer hardware and software, communication equipment, audio and video components, and learning technologies.
Acceletrain CLE was created with the visionary purpose of resolving issues associated with increasing workforce competency and closing the skilled workforce vacancy gap. These issues include:
- Shortages of qualified, employment ready applicants
- Technology changes that are outpacing academic churn
- Distributed and global workforce
- The need to accelerate worker competencies to compete globally
- Loss of tacit knowledge through retirement
- Reduced training budgets
- Having to reduce the time-to-train
- Ways to Increase learner retention
- Changes in learning ecosystems
- Starting the learning process earlier in K-12
Rather than following the industry approach of using video conferencing or web-based meeting tools to simulate classroom learning, we started in the classroom. GBSI’s approach takes the familiar and engaging classroom teacher and student learning environment and applies technology appropriately to enhance and distribute quality learning. The result is Acceletrain CLE, a multipurpose distributed education and training architecture. It incorporates the benefits and features of classroom-based learning and uses technology to:
- Distribute engagement
- Connect learners, locations and devices
- Maintain quality of instruction and collaboration
- Reuse and repurpose training
- Accelerate competency
- Reduce training costs
Academic institutions, for profit training companies, training organizations and independent subject matter experts are using Acceletrain CLE to:
- Expand campuses
- Increase education and training revenue
- Reduce training costs
- Reduce low enrollment cancellations
- Scale to customer training demand
- Manage a single training schedule for multiple classrooms and locations
- Globalize learning
- Accelerate workforce readiness
Acceletrain CLE from GBSI is transforming the education and training industry by integrating classroom-based training and virtual learning technologies to speed competency and increase workforce readiness.
