Richard Lewis Communications Ltd. has selected Rukuku as a development partner to host and deliver RLCs award winning language and culture training online. This is the first time their language programs are delivered to RLC’s customers via the Internet, and the cultural courses will complement their award-winning online cultural resource, CultureActive. The companies will also collaborate on interactive course design, as well as production and delivery of high-quality training content.
Rukuku’s interactive collaboration tool for online training will enable RLC to capitalize on its extensive training expertise and engage with its existing customers with greater frequency. Rukuku Marketplace will allow RLC training modules to be marketed to, bought and accessed by a vast pool of new potential customers around the world.
“We are happy that collaboration with Rukuku will allow us to expand our reach for synchronous and asynchronous training courses beyond the traditional classroom. Our customers come from all corners of the globe, and today we are responding to their preference for an excellent and flexible remote training environment,” said Michael Gates, Vice Chairman, Richard Lewis Communications. “Here are some of the advantages of Rukuku that we have considered:
- The technology removes physical and logistical constraints for our trainers to engage with the customers online
- Full control over recorded courses allowing for flexible customization, review and ongoing monetization
- Integrated training environment which brings together for the first time the training materials, audio and video conferencing, electronic drawing board, and other interactive features.
- Finally, we believe Rukuku Marketplace will be a great place for learners all around the world to come and shop for their training and education, and when they do, they will be able to buy RLC’s world-class training content on Cultural Communication and Language Learning.”
