| United Nations Chooses ScribeStudio to Train Global Staff |
| New York, NY: ScribeStudio announced today that the UN has chosen it to help deliver career development programs to its offices away from Headquarters. The UN is using ScribeStudio, the only 100% Web-based, pay-as-you-go e-Learning platform, to deliver online learning to its New York, Geneva, Vienna, Beirut, Nairobi, Addis Ababa, Santiago and Bangkok offices. |
| ScribeStudio’s ease of use allows UN human resource personnel to easily create and update career development materials using a wide array of content. The heavy focus on interactivity creates a powerful tool for disseminating best career development practices across the UN, letting individuals optimize content for their particular geography or culture and is an ideal tool to disseminate information to a global workforce. |
| The flexibility built into ScribeStudio also allows the UN to modify learning materials to adapt to a changing global environment and to optimize content based on feedback from career development program managers. |
| As a web-based solution that provides drag-and-drop and point-and-click simplicity, ScribeStudio enables UN personnel without web development backgrounds to create interactive, media rich learning content. |
| "The United Nations’ program is using ScribeStudio to create a true career development learning network where staff learn from shared experience, as opposed to a simple one-way flow of information," said Peter Cervieri, Director, ScribeStudio. "We are proud to be working with the UN on an e-Learning Career Development program that supports this exciting new paradigm for distance learning." |
| The UN also uses ScribeStudio’s polling and survey tools to gain valuable real-time feedback from Human Resource managers responsible for career development activities, allowing for swift refinements, and to test opinions and needs on issues and topics for future career development/e-Learning initiatives. |
| ScribeStudio is helping the UN to capture and disseminate important information and events to offices around the world. Most recently, a briefing session on a new career mobility policy was filmed in New York, which was then put on-line and was immediately available to all UN human resource managers worldwide. This ensures cohesive message dissemination to all offices. |
| "Our tools are perfect for non-IT specialists to teach and communicate across cultural and geographic lines,” said ScribeStudio’s Cervieri. “The UN is a great example of a diverse global organization that is making full use of ScribeStudio’s potential." |
