American Concrete Institute to Build Online Training Portal with Learn.com as Its Foundation
Sunrise, FL, April 17, 2010 --(PR.com)-- Learn.com®, the Knowledge PlatformTM company, announced today that the American Concrete Institute (ACI), one of the world's leading authorities on concrete technology, headquartered in Farmingham Hills, Michigan, selected the company’s knowledge portal to deliver web-based training (WBT) and educational programs to its 20,000 global society members.
Utilizing Web-based Training (WBT) and a Learning Management System (LMS) provided by Learn.com, ACI will deliver e-learning to both members and nonmembers and ultimately realize higher ROI by offering another mode of delivery for its educational products in addition to its instructor-led training (ILT) seminars and documents.
