Pune, Maharashtra -- (SBWIRE) -- 07/01/2010 -- With a view to providing rapid, step-by-step skill development for usability, practicality, experience and success, Upside Learning, in association with ViSteps, has successfully completed an online SQL training programme for SQL aspirants. This programme is open to students and learners across the globe. Visteps will deliver all training programmes via its subsidiary SQLSteps. (http://www.sqlsteps.com )

The objective of the project was to improve SQL knowledge and skills of the students, and provide them with an opportunity to practice through a simulated environment. With inputs from Visteps, who have a deep understanding of SQL, Upside Learning has developed courses that engage and challenge learners, ultimately giving them the skills which will help them to move forward with their SQL projects and careers.

In addition to the conventional eLearning components, Upside Learning has used demos and simulations. Flash and Captivate were majorly used to create the interactions so as to engage and stimulate the learner effectively. The Captivate simulations have both, the ‘show me’ and ‘try me’, approaches for the learners, while Flash has been employed to explain the theoretical sections. All the modules consist of interactive simulations that enable the learners to practice and refine their skills further.

“The development process adopted by Upside Learning was smooth and speedy. Also, the team was pro-active in answering queries and suggesting effective solutions. We are very pleased with our partnership and look forward to a long association ahead.”, said Shawn Collins, Managing Director of ViSteps.

Amit Garg, Director of Content Solution at Upside Learning, commented, “ViSteps had a clear objective of creating SQL programmes that were not just engaging and challenging, but capable of equipping the learners with skills for succeeding in their careers. We are confident that our programmes will be able to deliver on ViStep’s expectations and cater to their growing training needs.”

ViSteps has also employed Upside learning’s multi award-winning Learning Management platform, UpsideLMS, to deliver and manage all their training courses.
