"Mentor's new OnLine Knowledge Centre provides customers with additional training options and a way to access learning where and when they need it".
"We are pleased to be collaborating with Mentor Graphics on its new online learning centre", said Derek Dunaway, CEO of TechOnLine.
"Mentor has taken the time to develop an online environment that is conducive to learning as well as scalable to accommodate new features, subject areas and functionality for their customers".
Customers accessing Mentor's OnLine Knowledge Centre will find a course catalog displaying all of the multimedia courses available, as well as a learning plan to highlight recommended curricula for users.
The course content for Mentor's web-based training is developed specifically for the web, as opposed to simply translating classroom training to HTML.
Each course contains both instructional pages and inline questions, with functionality for users to track their progress and time spent on lessons.
Hands-on lab exercises are also available to reinforce concepts and solidify learning.
To facilitate the online purchase of Mentor courseware, TechOnLine built an e-commerce capability into the OnLine Knowledge Centre infrastructure, and will fully support and maintain the functionality for Mentor.
