"We have completely redesigned this course and expanded it from two to three volumes to cover the extensive features of Windows 3.1," says Warren E. Anderson, President. Dave Ferguson, Vice President of Product Development, states, "Customers purchase Anderson Soft-Teach training courses because one buying decision solves ALL of their training challenges: self-study, classroom training, field office training, and refresher training." The complete Windows 3.1 training course will be sold for $995. Topics covered in Volume One include Exploring and Communicating with Windows and Working with Multiple Windows and Applications. Volume Two provides instruction on the File Manager, including Managing Files, Directories and Diskettes.

The company offers a unique "version insurance" program for users who are upgrading from Anderson Soft Teach's Windows 3.0 courseware to Windows 3.1 courseware. STAGGERING TRAINING DEMAND DUE TO FREQUENT UPGRADES In the 1992 Survey of Personal Computing in Corporate America conducted by Anderson Soft-Teach, over 56% of training professionals surveyed indicated that they do not have enough resources to meet their organization's demand for training. One of the biggest obstacles given was the large number of software topics to support. More and more corporate classroom trainers are turning to Anderson Soft-Teach courseware to meet their needs for timely, cost-effective, high quality classes. A major benefit cited is the ease of use of the Anderson SoftTeach training package. The videos, which can either stand-alone or supplement class lectures, save trainers hours of lecture prep and delivery time. The Student Workbooks serve as the complete course curriculum, freeing trainers from the time-sensitive pressures of writing their own courses and doing constant rewrites due to new versions. Anderson Soft-Teach courseware is also becoming a cost-effective alternative to outsourcing PC training, resulting in significant savings. Customers have gained efficiencies by keeping training in-house, making their own decisions on course topics, and dictating their own training schedules. They find implementation easy because Anderson Soft-Teach provides everything from the lecture to the post-test. For classroom use, the only thing the customer needs to supply is an instructor or facilitator to oversee the class. Bill Firing, Project Coordinator at Swissair says, "We are getting better classroom training for less money than if we were to go outside." Hewlett Packard Learning Products Developer Dorothy Reinke states, "The quality of your classroom material is excellent."

CUSTOMER DEMAND CATALYZES NEW FEATURE To meet growing customer demand, Anderson Soft-Teach also announces an enhancement to its Personal Training Guides. In the Windows 3.1 course, students are provided with extra exercises at the end of each lesson to increase learning effectiveness. The extra exercises reinforce skill development and result in increased retention.
