Edvantage group, a pioneer in e-learning solutions, announces today the availability of official Microsoft e-learning courses for Windows Server 2008 Launch. For the first time during a major Microsoft launch, online courses that introduce new features and functions and improve technical skills are available through a Learning Management System. This provides organisations with the opportunity to take control of learning and development and proactively provide their IT staff with the information and skills necessary for optimising use of Microsoft products through a centrally administered system.
Rather than individuals spending valuable time and money to find the necessary learning resources and certification paths, this new offering provides essential product news and know-how in a single learning portal that can be centrally administered within the organisation. And it is also possible to track learner progress, build learning paths, add additional courses on a range of other topics and centrally manage costs.
“The release of Windows Server 2008 will generate demand all over the world for skilled IT professionals who can support this new Windows Server operating system,” says Thomas Berglund, CEO, Edvantage group. “We want to support organisations by ensuring that they can provide their IT staff with immediate access to skill-building courses so that they can benefit from the new products. E-learning is very effective when you want a jump-start on new technologies.”
E-learning courses are delivered through the Learning Gateway (LMS), which is integrated with Microsoft’s e-learning server. An organisation registers users into this fully hosted system and then courses are immediately available online to the learners.
Windows Server 2008 courses focus on the technology that is new or changed, and they include clinics and virtual labs covering server virtualization, security and policy management, branch office management, centralized application access, and server management. The courses are ideal for professionals that are currently using Windows Server 2008 or will be deploying it or working with it within the next year. The courses also help people transition their skills and credentials to Windows Server 2008 technologies or prepare for new certification.
