Winner in the tutoring and coaching category. Elearning Awards 2005

Starting with just a manned telephone, Computeach’s approach to supporting learners is a model for others to follow.

Many obvious logistical problems had to be overcome but these have been tackled pro-actively.

Their practical use of technology should show others that any form of distance learning is more effective when it is supported by coaching and mentoring.

How Computeach International supports its learners through coaching and mentoring

Computeach has been delivering flexible technology training since 1964.

By today’s standards, the distance learning model employed some thirty years ago seems somewhat primitive, and lacks the sophistication in both technology and learning delivery methodology that is taken for granted today. Comparing today's offering with those of a few years ago shows that the Computeach distance learning method has evolved significantly. Recently however, gentle evolution has accelerated into revolution in terms of tutor support.

Computeach is a commercial training organisation. The people who learn from its courses are typically either employees of client companies or private individuals looking to move into an IT career. In order to keep in touch with all of its students, Computeach has built a comprehensive learning environment capable of accommodating large numbers of people studying a wide range of programmes, all of who have differing learning styles and preferences.
