Boost eLearning, the pioneer in Google search training for large organizations, today announced Google Tips for the Olympics, a free online lesson available at www.boostelearning.com that helps fans across the globe track their favorite 2008 Summer Olympic athletes. By performing easy, targeted Google searches, viewers can quickly find all the latest coverage pertaining to the Olympics regardless of geographic and lingual boundaries.
As the games progress, fan demand for more in-depth coverage of the athletes will rise. The best source of this coverage is likely to be from publications within an athlete’s hometown or host country. Boost eLearning has developed a special training module, “Google Tips for the Olympics,” that quickly teaches fans how to find news originated from a specific city or country. Boost’s three-minute lesson also instructs users how to quickly access information in their language of choice. For example, a user can find and view articles on a Chinese Track and Field athlete in a Chinese publication translated into English. Boost’s free lesson empowers users to find localized coverage in foreign media outlets they never thought to access.
“The volume of Web-based news coverage and information available around the 2008 Summer Olympics is expected to reach a new threshold,” said Victor Alhadeff, CEO of Boost eLearning. “To easily access this wealth of information, we have developed a short lesson that teaches fans how to leverage built-in features in Google to find targeted Olympics information fast. By using proven search methods, fans can find and share developments on the games as they happen by accessing news from an athlete’s hometown or host country.”
