BLENDED LEARNING / E-LEARNING

The creation of identical courses for traditional and distance learning courses are likely to be ineffective. The instructor of a hybrid course typically determines what the outline of the course will be and decides what learning activities will be presented in the traditional environment and the components that will be moved online. What systems are you using at your organization? Schedule an appointment to discuss how blended technologies can improve learner engagement and reduce anxiety among learners.

CURRICULUM DEVELOPMENT

Our approach to curriculum development constructivist theory which emphasizes that learning should be authentic, practical tools such as games, case studies or internships are important contributors to adult education and instruction should be based on real-world problem events or issues that are both appealing and meaningful to adult learners. Social constructivism focuses on social interactions, language and culture how when integrated impact learning. Our team of designers to learn how we can make a custom course for your team.

INSTRUCTIONAL DESIGN

Corporations must begin to draw the correlation between theory and practice when educating educators and develop robust faculty development programs with these characteristics that will endure over time. Creating communities of learning requires that the facilitator is familiar with the technology, be active participants, and set the tone. Does your team need professional development? We have an interactive faculty technology development workshop that can assist professors in learning how to facilitate their courses using student-centered approaches.
