E-Learning

Custom E-learning gives you the power to distribute your up-to-the-minute training content in a consistent manner, to an unlimited number of learners, who may be located around the corner or around the world.

Time: No waiting for courses! E-learners can get the training they need at a moment's notice, 24/7. Organizations enjoy the increased productivity, while E-Learners enjoy the flexibility of learning at their desktops, at home, or on the go.

Cost: Surprised that E-learning's cost-per-learner is lower than classroom courses? With our custom e-learning courses, design and development costs are incurred upfront, one-time-only. No ongoing fees. No per-learner licenses. (And of course, no travel costs)

Quality: Our Instructional Design Specialists make sure that quality is baked in! We work with you to define performance objectives and quality measures. We create interactive learning sequences, practice exercises and tests that help learners achieve the desired level of performance. And, if you like, we can design in reports that let you track the performance of your e-learners.

We get the "How Did You Figure Out What We Needed?" question all the time. And the answer is, there's no magic here. Just good instructional design.

So, at the start of any project, don't expect us to bring in a crystal ball. But do expect a set of questions that will help us identify your organization’s specific needs. Some of these questions are technical ones, related to your Systems specifications. Others focus on your project goals, organizational culture, training objectives, and content issues. We work with you to gather the answers – then use your answers to shape a program that fits you like a glove.

One of our favorite comments from a client was, "I didn't know that our information was so interesting until I took your course."

Let's face it. The average adult learner rates the training experience right up there with getting a flu shot. They expect a certain amount of sitting around feeling bored, followed by the slight "pinch" of learning something new – but they put up with it because they hope the outcome will be worth it.

At Prometheus, we believe that training doesn't have to be boring or painful. In fact, we're passionate about creating training that engages the learner, with:

• Clear, concise, insightful writing
• Tables and charts that simplify and summarize
• Graphics and media that inspire as well as inform
• Examples and scenarios that put a human face on tough topics
• Interactive exercises to keep the learner involved

We're equally passionate about designing e-learning that achieves real, quantifiable performance improvement. So in addition to all of the bells and whistles, our coursework reflects the best current research on Adult Learning Theory, Human Performance Improvement, and Instructional Design.

Take a look at some Case Studies of real custom e-learning courses.

Do custom e-learning courses take a long time to create?

Custom e-learning doesn't have to take months to create. If your timeframe is short, we can use a number of strategies – from Rapid Deployment Designs to phased rollouts – to help you get your training out when you need it.

My budget is small. Is it possible to create custom e-learning to fit my price range?

We create e-learning to fit your needs, and that includes your budget. As part of our consultation, we show you how to stretch your budget so you get the biggest bang for your buck – whether you have a Cadillac or a Chevy budget!

We have existing classroom courses and Powerpoint slide presentations. Can you help us re-purpose them as e-learning?

Yes, we can help you re-purpose your existing courses and presentations.
 
There is more to it than just "prettying up" your Powerpoint slides. Typically, Powerpoint slides are a bare-bones version of the course content, with additional examples and q&a coming from the instructor during the class. As part of re-purposing, we help you to capture this additional content. And of course, we also add graphics and interactive exercises as needed.

We need SCORM-compliant e-learning to work in our LMS. Can you help?

Yes. Many of our clients require SCORM-compliant courseware, or require courseware to report within a particular LMS. We incorporate these needs into the course specifications, at the beginning of any e-learning project.

Our Training Department is overloaded and understaffed. Can you help?

You bet. Many of our clients are Training Departments who need specialized resources or just some extra Instructional Design hands to help them deal with the workload.

We're new to e-learning. Can you get us started?

Sure thing. No matter where your organization is on the e-learning curve, we can help. For organizations who are new to e-learning, we offer help in setting an e-learning strategy, designing an appropriate curriculum, and deploying e-learning so as to maximize acceptance.
