Company Questions
Q: How is SPL different from the competition?
A: At SPL we want to create the online learning solution that works best for you. Our philosophy is YOURS, OURS or OTHER. If you don't have an e-Learning Solution, you are welcome to use ours (eCollege). If you already have a platform we'd be happy to work within your specifications. We can also do multimedia, CD-based or other types of online learning.
Q: Who do I contact to learn how to execute my organization's e-learning strategy the right way?
A: Current customers should contact their Account Manager to arrange an Effective e-learning consultation. If you are new to SPL, you can contact us to arrange an appointment.
Q: What if I only need interactive multimedia for my company's website?
A: Our Design, Development and Technology team designs engaging online courses. In addition, our team can create interactive, online product demos, animated presentations, and much more. Just ask!
Q: Can SPL integrate quizzes and other learner-evaluations into my e-learning project?
A: During the discovery phase, SPL will work with you to identify appropriate content and placement of quizzes and/or examinations. We provide plenty of options for this common request.
Q: Can I see a demonstration of your best courses?
A: We've included an online demo on our website to give you a sample of our best online courses.
Q: Your primary Learning Management System seems to be eCollege, but that's not my current platform?
