If you are new to online learning or need to improve the performance of your online learning programs, we can help.

We ensure that your online learning programs are aligned with business objectives. They will be experiential and focused on changing the right behaviors.

Task: Learning Needs Analysis
Our Role: Instructional Designer
You need to begin with an analysis of your business processes, tasks performed, desired skills and knowledge needed. The analysis needs to answer two key questions, what are the learning objectives and what are the business objectives. In addition we will define what are the desired measurable outcomes both for learning and for the business.

Task: Design e-Learning Strategy
Our Role: e-Learning Solutions Architect
Based on the results from the learning needs analysis, we will design an e-learning solution that will be challenging, relevant and contextual. We will ensure that the design matches the desired learning outcomes. We will make sure you use the right technologies to address the strategy. All too often, learning companies design learning that merely delivers informational content. We ensure that the learning is experiential and task centric. We understand that we learn from experience and we change behaviors when we are permitted to see the outcomes of our decisions.

Task: Develop & Deploy the Course
Our Role: Project Manager & Lead Instructional Designer
In this phase we will manage a team of technical writers, multimedia specialists and software developers. We work with your subject matter experts to develop the learning content. We provide project management to ensure that the course is designed correctly. We are willing to use your authoring tools. If you do not have an authoring tool and would like the ability to edit the course, we can provide you with the tools and training you will need to maintain your own course materials.

Task: Develop Online Learning Strategy
Our Role: Learning Technology Strategic Consultant
We will sit down with your training team and key stakeholders and begin with an analysis of your current learning processes, tools, and resources including staff competencies. We will also discuss the culture of learning in your organization. How far along are you on the e-learning adoption curve? Do you have a learning management system? If you are in the very early stages of e-learning adoption we will need to discuss some adoption change management strategies. Every part of the puzzle is important, just like any good project or business plan.
