ONLINE ON-SITE VIDEO CONFERENCES Not everybody is able to get away from work and family for three to five days to take a course. CEIPE has many options that allow attendees to get quality continuing education while remaining at home or at work. For individuals, there are online course offerings and live Web-based lectures. For companies wanting to provide training opportunities for employees, we can bring courses to your location or provide video conferencing services. Online courses CEIPE offers asynchronous and scheduled course offerings. Our online aerospace short courses usually involve a small project and can be completed in the student s own time during a six-month period. Technical courses, such as those in the engineering technology certificate program and engineering management courses, are usually scheduled as weekly one-hour sessions that occur outside work hours. Both provide valuable opportunities to learn, while saving costs associated with traveling to a course location, and minimizing time away from work and family. On-site training Bringing courses to your company saves valuable employee time and travel expenses. On-site courses provide extra benefits of confidentiality, the ability to tailor courses to your needs and the ability to schedule courses to best fit your company s schedule. On-site training provides the same educational benefits as regularly scheduled public and online courses. Video conferencing CEIPE can provide various video conferencing solutions for companies to utilize when determining training needs for their employees. Our experience includes: Web-based VoIP lectures and presentations Blended delivery working in conjunction with company s internal conferencing systems Back up delivery method in case of unforeseen incidences (severe weather or location conflicts) aeroshortcourses.ku.edu Contact: Kim Hunsinger, assistant director, CEIPE kah@ku.edu 785-864-4758 or toll-free in the U.S. 877-404-5823 13
