At PopG we are saddened by the amounts of money e-learning organisations pay for half-baked e-learning solutions. Solutions that limit students to working on-line, which maybe great for some, but not for others. Solutions that are not security concious, so that coursework is not running over secure services. Solutions that disadvantage the person studying from home compared with those in the classroom. Solutions that are not flexible enough to cope with the every changing needs of today's society, both from an student and an e-learning company's perspective. Solutions that do not support same-time e-learning for those in the classroom and those at home.Solutions that cost an arm and a leg - and deliver so little.

With PopG we are not prescriptive. If a student or a teacher wants to operate in a certain way - fine. We can cope. If all their students work over the Internet - fine. If one or two, or a majority come into classroom for study - fine. Lectures can proceed to suit the student - and the teacher. Similarly if a student wants to work on the train using their notebook then they can. And as for security, everything we do is secure, as it is stored on student computer, over then internet or on our servers.

And what really makes the difference is that our blended e-learning solution is the totally integrated approach. Next time you attend an e-learning conference, why not ask some more searching questions. For a shopping list of questions why not email me andy@popg.co.uk.
