>RE: CBT Systems self-paced training
>
>The feedback from the IT Partners/CBT System lunch indicated that from the
>Partners' perspective, having access to the CBT Systems materials was
>valuable. IS was encouraged to continue and even expand this service.
>
>Next Jeanne met with CBT Systems and Susan Minai-Azary, Director of IT
>Integration, to determine if we could use the CBT Systems web-based
>product in the MIT environment. Distribution via CD was an option for the
>100 initial users, but does not scale to the entire community.
>
>The IS Intergration team will be having technical discussions with the CBT
>Systems' technical folks to determine the fit of product with our
>environment. We hope to have those discussisons in early September. My
>expectation is that we will be able to get CBT Systems to play at MIT.
>
>The next step will be to make a case for funding for this project. That
>work will be going on simultaneaously with the technical reviews.
>Hopefully by the October IT Partners conference I will have something
>definitive to report.
>
>Also, CBT has given my access to one of their web programs for the Partners
>to try out. See note below...
