Training & E-Learning Development

A Higher Form of E-learning

Your products are not leveraging their full potential if the users are not properly and consistently trained. CLS can convert your existing courses or create new course materials and deliver them to an online Learning Management System (LMS)/Learning Content Management System (LCMS) platform. Flexible training delivery whether online or offline allows you to train and certify a diverse and geographically widespread student population.

Learning Management Systems utilize informative narrative, interactivity, animation, sound and video to keep the user engaged in the material.

Classroom and Field Training

CLS will work with your subject matter experts and training staff to perform a training task analysis, prepare a plan of instruction, create student guides, media presentations, and certification standards, conduct testing, etc.

Our experienced staff has traveled to remote locations across the world to conduct on-site training. We are particularly experienced with training military personnel and creating materials that adhere to Mil-Spec standards. If you prefer to keep instructor-led training in-house, we can prepare the materials and train and certify your instructors.

Eagerness

Students are not always eager to hear a given message or learn a particular task. Therefore, the training must be tied to real-world, practical applications.

Preconception

Some older students have definite ideas, preconceptions, and prejudices. Analyzing the audience in advance and getting feedback during training program development is crucial.

Experience

Students often have experiences that relate to the topic. Designing a program that helps people relate their own experience with the training will maximize comprehension and retention, and facilitate acceptance of new skills.

Speed

Students want to use what they learn as quickly as possible, in a way that is relevant to them. Training should be designed to accommodate task-specific and full-length training.

Force

No student can be forced to read, watch, or listen. Training must have high relevance and appeal. Appeal may reside in attractive screen designs, relevant use of humor, or interesting examples, but it must be built into the training from the outset.

Anxiety

Some students may be anxious in a training environment, particularly when they are being evaluated or when they feel a superior may monitor their performance. The fact that training will be at the user's "home" location, on their system, will encourage them to use the program more frequently and at their discretion.

Communication

Mature students communicate more easily and effectively with their peers. The tone of computer-based training must be neither condescending nor uninformed.

Feedback

All students want to know how they're doing, and they prefer to get feedback as quickly as possible after completing a task. Training should include checklists and opportunities for the user to apply what he or she has learned quickly, perhaps including computer simulations.
