It enabled the Mentors to oversee the training of Volunteers with feedback. We trained people from all over the States using the WEST Server software as their delivery tool. Feedback was given through integrated Email, Bulletin Board, and discussion groups. A number of Universities and Corporations are considering incorporating our software into their teaching delivery process. THis will enable them to effectivly train many people efficiently and the Instructors will be able to have an individual involvement enable effective remote learning -
