Community E-Learning

We have Learning Managment systems installed with 25 Vocational Education Committees in Ireland to manage their Adult Learning. We engaged with some customers during the week to look at supporting the learning process using some elearning supports. There are obviously more challenges implementing elearning in a community environment rather than a corporate environment so any comments or throughts on this would be appreciated. We will be researching this area further and I will update this post with any findings.

Opportunities in China Seminar – May 13th

Attended conference.

Very good background to the history and culture of China, and very practical advice about what is involved in doing business in China.
The changes in the last 20 years in China have been phenomenal and there are over 200 million wealth middle class.
There are still many opportunities despite the global downturn.
Don’t underestimate the large resources that need to be applied to successfully build business relationships in China.

Areas of opportunity IT, Software, Education & Food.

As we are involved in the Software & Education sectors, it is definitely worth us pursuing this market further.

We are attending the above conference organised by Waterford City Enterprise Board.  The company China Green are talking at it.

We already have two of our software products translated into Chinese and we are always looking for opportunities to expand so it will be interesting to see what the conference has to say.

Existing products – We have 5 VECs around Ireland that have our Language Pulse system. If a chinese student for example wanted to learn or improve their English they could follow all the unstructions and register in Chinese and then undertake a test to assess their current level of English.

We have a product that manages a truck service department on trial in Canada. Parts of the system have been translated into both traditional and simplified Chinese to facilitate the large Chinese community our customer is dealing with.
