Virtual desktops not only mimic a desktop on a cpu, but they include such things as a calendar, clock, media player, wallpaper background, desktop icons, online storage, word processing, high file size upload (some go up to 150mb per file) and e-mail. Many include WebDev – thus it can become a PaaS (Platform as a Service)?

CBT Prior to online learning known then as WBT, and then the latter term of e-learning (vendors today, use it to refer to content that is online), there was CBT. CBT was the “new” and exciting way to learn. It’s called online learning for a reason, because it is via the internet – online.

You want to see a learning platform, but you don’t want to access the trial, first or perhaps you can’t. They fail to even clearly show their product, let alone present the product sans the standard PPT intro that comes with “learn more” about the solution. What do you do? What They Need to Know.

Make no mistake, there are plenty of vendors out there who believe in the concept of focusing on features and forgetting about usability, under the guise that people would rather have lots of cool blinky things rather than usability.

The key is online/offline synch since this truly offers the person on the go to take courses or assessments offline and then when they have access to an internet connection, a synching occurs pulling the data from the device back into the learning platform.
