Learn Teeline Virtually Anywhere!
Why Online Learning is better than Traditional Learning Methods
Learning Teeline Shorthand online is a new concept. OnlineShorthand.com has been developed to provide learners all over the world with unique opportunities to undertake shorthand training simply, and conveniently, online. Read what they have to say about the programmes.
Background information
OnlineShorthand.com was developed following a period of academic research into distance learning, carried out by Elaine Galloway, which culminated in the award of a Masters Degree by the University of York. Having kept abreast of the huge advances in technology, whilst teaching multimedia to students registered on Higher Education programmes at the University of Durham, Elaine realised the potential of what could be achieved.
Together with Ranjit Sambhi, a well qualified and talented graduate from the University of Teesside, they set about embracing the findings of Elaine’s Research, with the features that the new technology afforded. They developed this innovatory, and at this moment in time, unique virtual learning platform.
As a result of our research focus, we have evidence that students can learn the theory of Teeline Shorthand online and develop speed to 60 wpm after 60 to 90 hours of study. Thereafter, once sound theory is established, speed is relatively fast to develop. Approximately, 10 to 15 hours of study will result in the development of an additional 10 wpm.
Our traditional distance learning courses in 1996, were developed to assist trainee journalists who had graduated without passing an NCTJ approved shorthand examination at 100 wpm. As a result, unable to find a suitable course close to their workplace, their career paths were impeded.
In 2003 the opportunity to learn shorthand online was made possible by the huge advances in technology and as a result, many journalists and personal assistants working and studying nationwide have benefited from the provision developed in-house by our multimedia-development company Technology House.
In recognition of our achievements, in 2004, we were asked to deliver a presentation in London hosted by the National Council for the Training of Journalists (NCTJ) entitled: “Learning Teeline Shorthand on the Web”. Much enthusiasm was expressed by almost forty delegates from NCTJ accredited colleges, universities and training organisations who attended the day-long meeting in Bayswater, London.
Some colleges have now dropped all forms of shorthand from the curriculum, so it is refreshing for learners to find that they can now benefit from Teeline Shorthand training online which is even more accessible and convenient than traditional methods of learning the subject.
Having revolutionised the learning of Teeline Shorthand online we work in association with:
- National Union of Journalists Glasgow (NUJ Glasgow)
- Reuters (The International News Agency)
- BBC (British Broadcasting Corporation)
- Cleland Thom of CTJTS Ltd (Online Journalism Courses)
- VirtualUni.com (Sister Company)
- TechnologyHouse.info (Sister Company)
We believe that our attitudes, ideas, feedback and support are what really count to our learners – ensuring that we continue to provide an exemplary mode of learning from home, school, college, university or the workplace.
