Myriad Media Wins National Telly Award for IBM Video

Raleigh, NC, February 12, 2001 - Myriad Media has been recognized with the 21st Annual Telly Award for an eight-minute video on IBM's management development education. The video, titled "IBM's 4-tier eLearning," was cited as one of the best informational videos in the nation.

The eight-minute video describes IBM's Internet-based blended e-learning process, which has been industry acclaimed for its best-of-class approach to management development. IBM Management Development's e-learning was most recently honored by the American Society for Training & Development and the International Society for Performance Improvement as Best Practice in developing and strengthening leadership skills for managers.

"The video has been extremely effective in explaining our blended e-learning approach that serves more than 30,000 IBM managers," said Nancy Lewis, Director of IBM Management Development. "And though not intended for outside use, it generated lots of interest from external clients -- Fortune 500 companies that want to deliver effective, just-in-time training to their employees."

Brandon Hall, Ph.D., a leading expert in corporate training and development, has showcased the award winning video in his industry keynote presentations. Hall frequently highlights IBM's approach as a model for effective delivery of corporate management education.
