March 4, 2015. Boston, MA – Interaction Associates (IA), the global collaborative leadership and workplace performance innovator, has announced four new programs to drive live online and distance learning.
IA’s new programs are highly-interactive and engaging 90-minute workshops using innovative technologies and processes to empower leaders to learn and engage with peers without leaving their desks.
“Our clients are eager to use blended solutions to further the development of more people inside their organizations,” said Dana Sednek, Manager, Live Online Learning. “Next-generation techniques make learning more convenient, more time- and cost-effective, and a lot more exciting to the participants. What’s more, the learning goes deeper and helps drive stronger business results,” she added.
Interaction Associates Live Online series of programs place the learner at the center of the workshop. Designed to accommodate between 15-125 participants, the programs make innovative use of chat pods, crowdsourced questions, and crowdsourced anecdotes and examples that personalize the learning experience.
