The Challenge
- The challenge with traditional "hands-on" software training is that
it is costly and slow to implement, due to numerous scheduling
challenges, transportation costs, and mutual inconvenience, etc. Once
the training is finally scheduled, typically what a trainer or support
person has to do is to first demonstrate the software capability, then
sit there and let the end-user try the software out, while reinforcing
the learning. This approach works great...but again it's costly and
slow to implement, all of which can impede ramp up time and
productivity, while windows of opportunity are missed.
The Opportunity
- The opportunity is with innovative "hands-on" software systems
training by Art Johnson of New World Communications using new Adobe
Captivate2 interactive sofware. Utilizing our rich-media instructional
design services, we can do the following developing on-line curriculum
Adobe Captivate2 software:
-
"Let me see it demonstrated"
mode - Send users to a web page where they
learn the software by watching someone walking them through the
software steps with special callouts and listen to a narrative voice
over
-
"Now let me try" mode -
After seeing the demonstrated software simulation, they then do
hands-on interaction, completing each step, after each condition is
met.
-
"Now let's go over what you've
just learned" mode - The end-user can
re-enforce his or her learning by taking a quiz. Optionally, scores
can be written to a SCORM-compliant learning management system (LMS)
