Business Broadband from BT

You've heard of it, you've wondered about it, but do you know how it will help your business? Broadband is an increasingly important subject as organisations seek to deliver appropriate e-learning content and other rich training material straight to staff. Here on TrainingZONE and HR Zone, members have been discussing what broadband can do, and major figures in e-learning have explained how it improves learning opportunities. And here's what you need to know about BT Broadband – a condensed guide from BT and TrainingZONE and HR Zone.

What is Broadband?

Broadband offers you 'always on' internet access and is up to ten times faster than a dial up connection. That means you can send or access digital content far more easily. Business Broadband from BT runs on ADSL technology, which transforms an existing telephone wire into a high-speed digital line capable of carrying data much faster than a conventional modem.

What can Broadband do for training?

E-learning has made great progress in creating new learning opportunities, but to make these real you need to be able to take part in the full interactive experience, and to receive and deliver rich multimedia content. From e-mailing a Powerpoint presentation without frustration, through fully enabled remote working, to complete engagement with the full potential of e-learning, broadband can help your company make use of the added options which technology brings to training.
