"Our goal is to provide training to more people and to encourage more 'synergy' among our members," Brenda Brown, SynAudCon director explains. "With the changes in technology and the world economy, we think our new programmes will be a valuable option to the industry."
The on-line training programme will consist of three levels, each offering training modules in a variety of subject areas. Audio professionals will have the option of subscribing to the levels that best suits their needs.
"The hands on content and materials that are constantly changing will continue to be offered as in person training," Brown continues. "Topics that are well suited for online learning will be incorporated into the new programme."
To support this new online model, SynAudCon will roll out an upgraded web presence that will encourage synergy and sharing among its members. Existing and new content will be reorganised and easier to access and new content will be added frequently establishing SynAudCon as a definitive source for audio information.
"We have dedicated all of our resources as well as the resources of a group of experts in web technology to implement these changes," Brown concludes. "We plan to roll them out in phases during the first part of 2010."
