Market ResearchSome Key Preliminary Findings

• Many respondents feel the availability of content
  is lacking in Expert Now and thus want
• Wider range of topics and more depth/technical
  issues in current topics
• Increased complexity and length of modules
• Study materials printouts and note taking
  capabilities for later reference (now - Course
  Notes)
• Related references to pursue after completion
  (now - References)
• Interactive features (Ability to ask questions
  during the module)

Market ResearchSome Key Preliminary Findings

• The idea of bundling a series of courses together
  ranging from an overview to more advanced topics
  is of strong interest to respondents,
  particularly if it includes a cost savings as
  well

8
The Five Needs of Expert Now

• Courses need to go beyond the intro level
• Courses need to be organized into curricula
• Curricula need to be focused on customer base
• Expert Now needs to work with certification
  product development
• A strategy for an IEEE course test
  certification program
• IEEE continuing ed products need to be under the
  same branding product management
• The new Product Management department should play
  a major role
• Jonathan Dahl
• Staff Director, IEEE Sales Marketing
