About Us

Azimuth Interactive is a new kind of e-learning and content development company dedicated to the training and learning communities. You may not have heard of Azimuth Interactive but chances are good you have heard of our authors, designers and editors because we have been publishing college texts in information systems and e-commerce, along with software instruction books with major traditional college publishers for over twenty years. Many of us are also instructors of information systems and software in colleges today.

Like other educators and many of our students, we believe that existing software instructional materials are over-priced, hard to learn from, not integrated with the Internet and Web, and not based on a community model of curriculum development.

We have set out to change all this and take a new direction in MS Office and other curricula. Our goals are much lower costs for your employees in software training programs, higher quality content, much greater communication between trainers, instructors and writers, more choice in content delivery using the Internet, and the development of a fast-responding community of users and content creators.

Cost reduction. We've reduced the costs of authoring, editing, compositing, printing and distribution. Much of this cost reduction is possible because of our own extensive use of the Internet that coordinates teams of professional educators, writers, and editors across North America. In short, we've built our own Web-based community to produce and distribute content. We offer real, complete, online educational content using e-books and streaming interactive media at a fraction of the cost of traditional books.

Higher quality. Our writers continuously test and improve the learning modules in the classrooms where they teach. We have a superior 2-page spread book design that permits faster changes in content, and is easier to learn from than traditional lengthy textbooks. We use the same pedagogy and authors to create the interactive learning environments for CDs and online training. We enhance the quality continuously, not waiting a year or more for improvements.

Choice. People learn in different ways. Likewise, employers have different training needs and capabilities. Both business and their trainees should be able to choose how they want to learn. Some trainees are much more visual and can learn faster from an interactive CD or online training program than from a book, whereas other trainees prefer hard copy books. Some companies prefer on line training materials, rather than keep track of books and CDs. Other companies prefer CDs for mobile and remote training locations. Still other companies use our books because students are more comfortable with a physical printed product.

Community. Our community model of content design, production and delivery helps us improve quality and reduce costs. It's just a better way. Your trainers can talk, e-mail, or chat on line with the actual writers and editors of our software training products. You can also order up customized learning modules to support specific applications of MS Office in your business.

We hope you give our products a test drive in your training programs. We are sure you will like the results. Your employees will too. It’s a better way to learn-- your way.
