DALLAS, Texas – July 7, 2008
OTA Training LLC is pleased to announce that their online RFID training program,RFID on the Web™, is now available to over 250 colleges and universities through Gatlin Education Services. RFID on the Web teaches students how to implement RFIDsuccessfully and prepares them to become RFID+ certified. It combines the ease of distancelearning with the quality of personal instruction and real-world examples andscenarios.
Colleges and universities choose OTA’s RFID on the Webbecause it uses innovative learning technology such as flash animated simulations based on real RFID projects to give students a comprehensiveknowledge of how the technology is applied in a real-world environment. Higher learning facilities value RFID on the Web for the in-depth, relevant andpractical RFID training that it provides to students.
"Today, there are rapidly growing uses for radiofrequency identification," said Stephen Gatlin, founder of FortWorth-based Gatlin Education Services. "With so many commercial factorsdriving the adoption of this technology, the demand for RFID certified professionals is overwhelming. RFID on the Web engages students with its combination of theory andreal-world examples of successful commercial, government and military applications.”
As the world’slargest provider of asynchronous web-based training to colleges, universitiesand other education providers worldwide, Gatlin Education Services is nostranger to e-learning programs. Their standardized online methodology includes system administration,evaluation, and instruction with their custom designed browser-basedcourseware.
Robert Sabella,CEO and founder of OTA Training LLC said, “We are very pleased that Gatlincontinues to broaden the availability of this proven program. Students benefit from the curriculum aswell as the administration that Gatlin provides."
Sabella also notedthat online training might be preferred by students who have experience in thefield, but are not yet comfortable sitting for an exam. To increase thetrain-to-test ratio among individuals that train online, OTA Training includesa CompTIA RFID+ voucher with the course.
One of the keybenefits of e-learning initiatives is that students can determine the pace oftheir progression through the material. "Some individuals prefer to sit in front of a computer and absorbthe information;” continues Sabella, “so they can take their time and go backthrough modules and review the material."
Cost is also afactor, as online courses are generally less expensive compared to othertraining methods. In addition tolower tuition and fees, associated travel costs (parking, fuel, vehiclemaintenance) are eliminated.
While cost andexperience drive demand for online training, the greatest appeal is itsaccessibility. Students areno longer limited by class times, sizes and course availability because RFID onthe Web is available whenever they are. Because courses are administered on an ongoing basis, students can beginanytime - even in the middle of the quarter or semester.
