Years ago, NYDLA “just” sold Distance Learning. With the Internet, it became DIGITAL Learning. Today, EVERYTHING is now DIGITAL LIVING. But we still love our name “NYED-LA” Living, learning, working, playing – in the clouds. That’s what we do. We have the technology. Technology helps make remote work, work.
You will need access to the right software and conferencing tools to be as productive and efficient from home as in the office. Experts say it’s also crucial to deploy easily accessible training tools so employees can quickly get up to speed on unfamiliar technologies. At NYED-LA this is a cliche.
For videoconferencing, we use Zoom, Loom. Paul Pellman, CEO of Kazoo, a technology platform in Austin, Texas said that the ability to see the faces of your colleagues has always been important to create a sense of connectedness and camaraderie for remote workers but will grow even more important as many more people work from home.
For sharing files, documents, spreadsheets and presentations, we use tools like Box, Dropbox or Microsoft OneDrive or Google Drive.
NYDLA uses technology: tools which help manage our communication and collaboration towards remote work. We use, provide and also partner with leadership of Zoom, Workplace from Facebook, Basecamp, Highrise, Freshbooks. These tools allow StratusStaff which our remote workers to communicate instantaneously or pose questions to colleagues without having to wade through threaded e-mail exchanges.
We don’t do distance learning. We just do DIGITAL LIVING.
