Get to the i-point
Added: (Fri Aug 22 2008)
A new version of the South West's best information guide for adults seeking training and education resources has just been launched - both as a CD-ROM and on the web.
i-point has been acting as a signpost for adults in the old Avon area for over a year, developing from an original static desktop installation to include a fully accessible public website for use in higher education facilities. It is currently installed at over two thousand workstations throughout the West of England in locations including libraries, colleges and Job Centres.
Version 4 shows further improvements to content and design, includes a new course search facility and a Mac compatible version of the desktop based application.
Users are also now able to make a request for advice or book an appointment with an adviser via i-point. All of the enquiries can be handled by administrators via a back-end enquiry management system. Each enquiry is automatically assigned to the relevant branch to be dealt with, based on the location of the user.
Thousands of the new CD-ROMs are being distributed now, so expect them to turn up in a location near you soon.
