RedVector.com Adds Interactivity to Online Courses

RedVector.com, the leading provider of online continuing education to the design and construction industry, is now using Lectora technology to add interactivity, animation and enhanced navigation to many courses.

Lectora® Publisher, created by the Trivantis Corporation in 2000, has earned a reputation as the "best of breed authoring tool available" and has rapidly become the software of choice among educators, trainers, and human resources professionals.

"RedVector can now offer interactive content that changes as users interact with the course to enhance learning and comprehension," said Victoria Zambitio, Vice President Research and Development for RedVerctor.com. "Our new courses also share a common navigation that offers additional resources such as checkpoints and links to external resources. Users will also see some flash and sizzle from animated graphics and activities that add to the educational experience."

"Both our individual and corporate clients tell us they are able to learn and retain important information better through online classes developed with our new Lectora Course Development Software," said Donna Hamilton, Enterprise Accounts Director. "The interactive features of Lectora courses appeal to both our Generation X professionals who have grown up with computers, as well as those established AEC professionals who want something a little more engaging than the traditional page-turner formats."

RedVector offers hundreds of courses for AEC professionals including architects, engineers, contractors, landscape architects, interior designers, land surveyors, building inspectors, and water and wastewater operators. Most courses are approved by appropriate state and professional boards. Users can search RedVector for courses approved for their state and profession.
