This morning, I’m going to focus on VTC— Why??? You can get started in VTC immediately, it’s easy to use, it’s easy to navigate in VTC, it’s fun to demonstrate. IT-Academy and Skillsoft are little bit more structured. I can talk about them a little later.
VTC--- VTC offers comprehensive sets of narrated tutorials (many of them award winning) on more than 700 IT courses. Courses are divided into short tutorials (3-6 min.), where the instructor explains the concept and provides visual examples.
It’s easy to find a course on the VTC website—courses are grouped by category, or courses can be found by key word search.
