Cool Site by Bloomsburg University Instructional Design Department CAC Member

At Bloomsburg University, twice a year we have our Corporate Advisory Council (CAC) meeting and representatives from corporations all over the country come and evaluate the students as the students present and they take some time to show off some cool things that they are doing.

One of the companies that has consistently presented to students over the years has been The Phoenix Group which does outstanding design and instructional work and they have a really cool facility that students and faculty got to visit about a year ago.

Here is a link to one of the CAC presentations Cliff and Rhonda (owners the The Phoenix Group did at CAC. Watch them live in this recorded webcast of their presentation.

They recently completed a really interesting site for The Kimco Realty Corporation. You should check it out. Kimco Realty owns and operates North America’s largest portfolio of commercial shopping centers. The Phoenix Group built the site using .net and one of the coolest pages is a leasing search tool. It includes a robust search and filter that uses Google Maps API, populated with information from Kimco’s database of over 900 properties.

If you have a chance, check out the site and notice the design and searching. What can be learned for e-learning development, how is e-learning and effective web site design inter-tangled?
