DEALERSHIP UNIVERSITY BRINGS LIVE, INSTRUCTOR-LED ONLINE TRAINING TO THE POWERSPORTS INDUSTRY

New Classes Blend the Benefits of Classroom Training with the Power of the Internet

ATLANTA, Ga. -- November 21, 2006 -- Dealership University, a developer of interactive training solutions for the powersports industry, today announced the addition of live, instructor-led online training classes to their portfolio of educational tools for powersports dealers. These exciting new classes blend classroom training, live discussion and real-world scenarios into one rich and accessible educational experience – delivered right to learners’ desktops.

Utilizing distance learning techniques employed by many of today’s leading educational institutions and corporations, Dealership University has combined interactive, online learning technology with live instruction to create a new training option for the powersports industry. Dealership University’s new instructor-led online classes deliver many of the benefits of classroom training including interaction with the instructor and other learners while reducing dealer training costs by eliminating travel expenses and time away from the dealership. Learners can attend training at the convenience of their desk, home or any location with an Internet connection.

“Dealership University is excited to give dealership employees the opportunity to log in to their own virtual classroom,” said Rod Stuckey, president of Dealership University. “We believe our instructor-led online classes will appeal to a large number of individuals who desire the interactivity of a classroom environment and the flexibility of an online course.”

Participants in Dealership University’s new live, instructor-led online classes will enjoy a virtual classroom environment which simulates a real classroom environment with instructor-led discussions, downloadable course materials, real-time communication with the instructor and class participants via a text chat box, and quizzes to aid in learner retention. Best of all, the content is recorded which allows learners to refer back to it as necessary.
