1. What are some other terms for web based training?
Courseware, WBT, Interactive courseware, multimedia courses, online
learning, online courseware, Internet training, web based instruction,
learnware, action learning, educational software, distance learning, internet
training, instructional design
2. I want to launch a course on the Internet how can
you help me?
Suppose you have a correspondence course that you want on the Internet.
We will convert it for use on the web depending on your budget and goals.
You can provide us the content and your goals and we will go to work to
create a small prototype for your approval. After approval we will design
the course and progarm it to work on the Internet or a CD Rom. The course
can include student registration, testing, instructor led discussion forums,
lessons, audio etc.
We can also build
a community of like-minded people on the web. This would include information
of common interest, resources, links, books for sale, banner ads, forums
and chats.
3. What are the costs for your services?
You may be surprised
at our hourly rates. Because we are in India we can do this very sophisticated
Internet development for as low as $15-$25/hour. Yet if this is your first
experience in developing courseware you may be surprised at the overall
cost. This is because it requires a team to do a quality job. We can also
negotiate a set price. Contact us for an estimate.
4. Should I try to do an Internet projects myself?
Yes, No, Maybe. It
depends on many of things. But for many people it is wise to outsource.
It allows you to stay focused on what you and your institution do best.
There is a steep learning curve in planning, designing, technology, programming,
and pedagogy. It simply takes a long time to gain the experience to put
together a complex project like an Internet course. But if courseware
development is going to be a major part of your agenda then this investment
might be worthwhile. Otherwise consider giving it over to someone else.
5. Can you help me promote a course on the Internet?
Yes, we can provide
ongoing promotion and site maintenance. We would also consider management
of the site. An active site requires on-going updates, forum management,
search engine registration and visitor response.Portions of this can be
handled offshore.
6. What are some other projects that can be done cheaper
and in many cases better in India?
We can find experts in different areas for outsourcing. Contact us if you need: graphic design, hand drawn illustrations, DTP, photography, video editing, multimedia, technical writing, editing, proofreading.
Most people are surprised
to find out that India has one of the largest pools of highly educated,
English speaking, computer literate people in the world. For a fee we
can help you connect to some of these skilled people.
7. How else can you help me do business in India?
We will consult with you on many aspects of doing business and link you people and businesses.
How can we communicate with Stylus Systems about a project?
To be honest, this is a weak link. Phone calls are expensive ($2 per minute) and the time difference is about 12 hours. Yet, the 12-hour difference has advantages. For some American companies it is like having a night shift. They send work to India in the late afternoon and get it back the next morning.
Fortunately email is effective way to communicate. You can send an email to India at 6PM (6AM India time) we will receive it, respond, and that response will be waiting when you arrive at work in the morning.
We can easily do projects
that don’t require face to face discussions or for complex projects we
will t come to your location.
8. Why should I contact Stylus Systems?
Because you don’t
have much to lose and a lot to gain. After you send us information will
not abuse this information or give it to others. We are an honest reputable
company. If you contact us we will tell you what we can or can’t do. We
will be fair and honest.
9. I have ideas but am not able to implement them.
How can you help?
First let us know
what you want to accomplish. We are open to new ideas, venture and partnerships.
We can find software companies, business people, and skilled professions
to accomplish almost any dream or vision. We can help you do business
in India especially Bangalore, after all Bangalore India is the Silicon
Valley of India.
10. My company has plenty of hand written forms to
be entered into the computer. Can you help?
Yes, our offshore
processing division can handle this and more including: audio tapes transcribing,
scanning of documents, creating manuals, graphics, converting documents
to SGML or HTML for publishing on the Internet or Intranet, correcting
databases, sorting data, converting information to different formats and
converting books to CD.
