Our Mission
FutureU's mission is to help organizations make the most of their
investment in technology for virtual communications and distance or blended learning. We provide strategic planning advice, readiness and needs assessments, instruction for teachers and trainers or students and trainees, and evaluation of project success. We also study the industry, looking for the best of the best software and hardware, and negotiating great prices for our client organizations.
Technology. As a value-added reseller of software and hardware for virtual and blended communication and learning, we have identified a handful of excellent products that we believe deserve your consideration. These fall into three categories:
Content Creation (Putting the pieces together.)
Content Delivery (Web and video conferencing tools and an asynchronous solution that is partially Moodle-based.)
Collaboration (Developing successful learning communities.)
Training. We are especially proud of of our instructor training in the pedagogy and practices of online instructional design and delivery. We are equally proud of our two-week orientation to the online classroom for college students or organizational learners. Both are available in self-paced or facilitated formats, via online or blended delivery. And both have received rave reviews.
Research. FutureU publishes research reports of interest to our clients. Among these is a comparison of leading course management software packages that thousands of decision makers have read. More recently we have completed reports on virtual collaboration software and open source software.
