History of the Organization

The Teletraining Institute was founded in 1993 on the premise that even the best technology will not allow educators to achieve the full potential of distance learning unless those educators are appropriately trained to adapt their teaching styles and methodologies to the medium.  To date, The Teletraining Institute has trained more than 10,000 professionals through its publicly offered programs, customized training, and curriculum that are offered at a distance. 

In 1999, a new service unit, eTraining Soultions, was launched to serve the ever-growing demand to support clients’ initiatives to move to web-based learning.  In 2004, this business unit was established as a new company – eLearning Innovations, Inc.

The companies are headquartered in Stillwater, Oklahoma, and have a state-of-the-art training center at St. Michael’s, an upscale business development on the north edge of the community.

In addition to the training services, eLearning Innovations is well-equipped and highly experienced in providing any time, any where training solutions. Not only are educational institutions offering courses via Internet, businesses and many other organizations are also finding that Internet and intranet applications solve many of the problems associated with making training and information available to their employees and clients.  Employees and clients can take advantage of available Internet/intranet-based training and education at any location where they have connected equipment, at their office or even at home.  In addition, they can participate in these courses at their convenience with asynchronous programs or at pre-arranged times for synchronous training.  The growth in this area promises to be enormous.

eLearning Innovations is now offering value-added courses at its St. Michael’s Training Center as well as consulting services to assist in course conversions. The training curriculum can be offered at eLearning’s facilities, at a distance via the World Wide Web, and also offers customized programs at client sites.  The instructional staff is the most experienced and knowledgeable in the field.  Together, the instructional team has a broad and in-depth understanding of what it takes to teach at a distance and can translate that in a forthright and practical manner.  Through multiple channels such as Internet, videoconferencing, and Internet-based programs, eLearning Innovations provides:

q       Management & hosting services for online programs
