If you’re a clinician or researcher, you’ve no doubt used Excel, be it for data collection, data cleaning, or charting. To that tune, we’d like to quickly congratulate one of our Medgadget editors who recently launched a company to sell an innovative Excel training tool he developed along with some fellow Excel gurus. It’s called Excel Everest, and it’s an interactive Excel course that is built entirely inside a Microsoft Excel workbook. The goal is to immerse and entertain the users, making the course fast-paced and fun. Excel Everest contains instructional text, hundreds of hands-on exercises of varying difficulty, as well as embedded videos. It automatically grades users as they progress through the exercises and has a scoreboard that shows a user’s progress and gives badges at certain milestones.
Excel Everest was designed for professionals and companies, which are looking for an effective, comprehensive and entertaining tool to train their employees in Excel. Among current clients are Google, PlayCore and a number of other companies. The course is available for Excel 2003-2010 at www.ExcelEverest.com. If you’re interested in purchasing Excel Everest, Medgadget readers will get 20% off this week via the discount code ‘MedGadget’. Those interested in using Excel Everest inside their organizations, should contact the company directly.
