Wikis are the ultimate in rapid e-learning, providing just-in-time information and performance support materials. They're also excellent for promoting collaboration and knowledge-sharing.
Epic has now launched Wiki Create, a quick and easy wiki that's set up and ready to use, either on your intranet or hosted securely for you. Together with this we're also providing a number of popular extensions that we believe provide most value, including a quiz option, a ratings system, and a video player.
As a special introductory offer, we are offering 10% off Wiki Create and wiki workshops on all December bookings.
Our special 'Introductory Wiki Workshop' supports you in implementing your wiki, and maximising the value to your workforce and your bottom line.
To take advantage of this offer, please email marketing@epic.co.uk.
Some of the comments from Epic's workshops include: "Informative", "clear", "thought-provoking" and "enlightening".
David Ratcliffe from the Army adds: "[The] team had obviously put an enormous amount of thought and preparation into planning the 2 days".
