[edit] Online Courses
MindLeaders sells over 2,000 online courses in a mix of business skills, software, and technical/programming topics. The courses include flash, video, demonstrations, questions, exercises, and other activities. The questions can also be taken outside of the course in a “skill assessment” that allows people to check what parts of the course material they already know or to improve their question score after taking the course.
[edit] MindLeaders Central
Central is the MindLeaders platform for running courses. Central can also launch other learning resources and manage instructor-led training. Reports are available about courses and other resources launched via Central.
[edit] PLuS Personal Learning Service
PLuS is a personalized service that has each member fill out a survey about their job requirements and training needs. The company managers can also fill out information about the training they’d like to assign. A learning advisor then sends a profile to the member to recommend which courses/learning resources would be most applicable or helpful to them. The profile can be updated quarterly.
[edit] Reference Library
The Reference Library holds online copies of 1,000 books that can be searched and read from MindLeaders Central.
[edit] Instant Mentoring
Within the MindLeaders courses, Instant Mentoring connects students to a live mentor chat session to ask questions.
[edit] Food Safety
MindLeaders announced a Food Safety package of courses in 2008 for restaurants and other food-handling businesses. These courses can be run online or via an “eL-Box,” a tablet PC that will record courses taken and quiz scores that can then send those to an online location when it’s connected to the Internet.
