Most WBT vendors will allow you to preview their offerings before you buy, especially if you intend to purchase multiple licenses for an entire corporation. To pick the best, look to educational leaders and count their course offerings, noting how much of the catalog is offered online. If it's relatively little, they haven't yet committed to the channel. Also consider how long a company has been creating curriculum. One instructor at a central location teaches the course and students log in remotely for an interactive learning experience with sound, speech, and chat capabilities.
Students can even raise their virtual hands with the touch of a button.
