This list will be populated throughout the day – but we have an extensive amount of new and exciting features that will make online education  much easier!  At PORTAL we are excited to bring this new technology to you, and hope that in the future this makes continuing professional development and education easier and more enjoyable.  Read more below!

A) The site has been 100% rebuilt.  We are not talking a simple re-skinning of the site to  make it look better – it is brand new.  From the visual look to the software which drives the online video (both live and on demand) its all new!

B) We have simplified the whole site, now we only have two sections LIVE ONLINE CONFERENCES and ON-DEMAND VIDEO.

C) LIVE ONLINE CONFERENCES can be purchased and watched with the ease of only ONE CLICK.

D) Interaction at live events is now via chat panels.  Simply type the question to the presenter.

E) ON-DEMAND VIDEO is now better than ever.  Broken up into two sections PORTAL ON DEMAND and PREMIUM CONTENT, we are using state of the art technology to deliver video directly to your desktop.

F) STREAMING VIDEO – no more waiting for it to load!  We stream it directly to you and you can skip to anywhere in the video just by clicking a point on the time-line.  Want to watch the end of a video, just click the end and start from there instantly!

G) ALL VIDEO ON THE SITE – now analyzes your connection and streams the most appropriate resolution to you – got a slow connection?  PORTAL send you slightly lower resolution video to make your experience better.  Got a super fast connection – watch it in DVD like quality.  All videos can be switched to full screen mode.

H) The LIVE Conference engine has been completely redesigned. We now use data-centres to stream the live event around the world so the video delivery is faster, smoother and easier to use. We also have a chat box for you to type questions to the event, making interaction much easier.

I) The site is now found at www.portaleducation.com  The old site is still up and running at www.portaleducation.com.au and will remains so for a while so members can still access old content.  We are in the process of moving some of the content over so members can access it through the new site.

…more to be added shortly!
