MILL VALLEY, Calif. - (Business Wire) Travelmedia announced today the release of DVD and e-Learning editions of "Travel and Tourism: Opening Doors for Your Future” (http://learntravelandtourism.com), an interactive course that introduces the Travel and Tourism industry as a serious career path to high school or entry-level college students, newcomers to the workforce or those seeking a new career. The course is loaded with timely information about the travel industry, its history, sustainable tourism, future trends, its various sectors, and the wide variety of career opportunities it offers.

These are self-paced courses for libraries and job-seekers and successors to the 1994 “World of Many Faces” video and workbook, which have been used in universities, schools and companies around the world.

Library/Personal Edition

The Library/Personal Edition, available on DVD and priced at US$90, includes the same content as the US$280 Academic Edition released earlier this year, but without interactive study questions and customizable instructor's tools. The Library/Personal Edition is designed as an affordable self-paced learning program, available to students through libraries, and for teachers who can use its ten modules as audio visual aids to supplement their own classes.

“We are now providing the DVD edition in response to many calls from librarians who want to offer a lower-priced version of our program for personal or individual student use without the customizable teaching tools of the Academic Edition,” says Russell Johnson, president of Travelmedia.

e-Learning Edition

The e-Learning Edition, available on the Web in high definition Flash video, offers the same content as the Library/Personal Edition plus a Testing Center, where students can challenge their knowledge. It is available online for US$35.

“Unlike typical static text and graphics-based programs, ours features highly-motivational videos photographed around the world,” Johnson added.

All versions have been updated and expanded for 2009-10 and are updated regularly.

Custom educational program development

Travelmedia (www.travelmedia.com) offers development of custom rich media educational programs for countries, industry sectors and companies in many languages.

All programs can be purchased online: http://learntravelandtourism.com
