Many are completing their course work at DigitalThink Inc., a San Francisco, California firm specializes in e-learning solutions. The company, which produces and distributes training courses on the Web, uses no books and distributes no software. All learning takes place on the Internet. The company has two different educational approaches. It also partners with large corporations to produce custom training modules.
All courses are self-paced and interactive.
If students have a question about any content in the course, they can type in the question and hit the send button on their screens. Langdon Waters, staffing program manager, says every query remains on the company's server until one of the DigitalThink experts answers it. The Web site promises DigitalThink will answer every question within 24 hours. Waters says internally the goal is to respond in six hours or less. All of them are independent contractors who are based around the globe.
