Our approach to instructional design begins with the premise that “The real genius is not in building it. It’s in getting it used.” No matter how sophisticated a training program you may have, if it isn’t being used, a significant amount of time and money is being wasted.
Our instructional design blends traditional learning with hands-on activities that drive the Learner to apply the required skills and competencies. The varied activities and tasks focus on real-work situations encountered daily by the Learner – the knowledge is seen as immediate, practical and relevant.
At the same time, the Learner also receives one-on-one feedback, encouragement and monitoring during meetings with a dedicated Learning Facilitator. This personal interaction keeps the process on track, supports the Learner and develops the desired accountability for all involved in the process.
Our Accountability Performance System (APS) incorporates this unique TIS instructional design. This system provides both the Learner and the Learning Facilitator with the tools needed to succeed – and holds them both accountable for that success!
An essential component of the APS is the Accelerated Learning Guide (ALG). This is a tailored, self-directed road map for employees, both new and experienced. It’s a step-by-step guide through the training course, often combining existing curriculum and new information with activities requiring the Learner to perform. Built into the Accelerated Learning Guide are checkpoint meetings, run by a learning facilitator, which will require that your learners not only answer questions about the materials, but also perform completed activities. Thus your content is not simply memorized, but internalized. At the end of the ALG, your employee completes the certification process ready to perform, ready to deliver. The Accelerated Learning Guide is in a flexible, self-study format which can be either web or paper-based.
