Technology Makes Things More Convenient for Computer Instructors.

• Sherri Yeargin is a multi-credentialed instructor for a computer training center in Greenville, S.C. She uses technology when she teaches and told me by email how technology makes things more convenient for her business.
  
  "As a computer instructor specializing in the Microsoft Office application programs, videoconferencing technology allows me to teach courses to students in all four of the locations my organization runs across two states. Because of this, we avoid canceling courses in centers with low enrollment, so students receive the training they need when they need it. Additionally, because we can teach more students with fewer instructors, and considering savings on travel expenses incurred in transporting instructors between centers, we keep costs lower so training remains affordable for our clients, and the company maintains a healthy bottom line."
