Several studies have proved over
the years that students perform as well, and often better, in on-line
(distance) learning as in physical classrooms. The delivery of e-learning
solutions as an alternative, or as a supplement, to traditional
instructor-led learning offers the following benefits:
Access to learning by audiences that are geographically diverse;
Access to self-paced learning by the student;
Availability of learning opportunities "24/7" at the
student's discretion;
A web-based delivery approach that provides a consistent curriculum
of learning to all students;
A web-based delivery approach that easily manages updates and
revisions to curriculum;
Cost reductions by minimizing travel time, for both students and
instructors;
Assessments, offered during and/or at the end of a lesson, that
provide validation for the learning experience, for both the student
and employer; and
Access to a curriculum through a Learning Management System (LMS),
which provides auditable learning results for both the student and the
employer.
Our Approach to Rapid Development of E-Learning Solutions
Our unique development methodology and suite of support tools
(collaborative and technical) are designed to support rapid content
development and to provide client self-sufficiency in content maintenance.
Our development philosophy does not require that
we be subject matter experts as a prerequisite to creating a lesson. The content capture process is designed to leverage the
subject matter experts, by helping them target and organize their knowledge, and to
offload the time-consuming storyboarding process. All content is managed
using standard Microsoft Office products, which provides the client with
the flexibility to maintain the content in-house. The result is an
efficient, in terms of time and dollars, knowledge capture
process. The outcome is a packaging of custom content that can be
organized into a structured training curriculum designed to enhance
performance.
