Instructional techniques constantly evolve with technology and society. Corporate training videos, which until recently represented the pinnacle of distance learning methodology, are now being replaced by computer based training techniques. Computer based training systems, such as those custom courses designed for companies by LeanForward, are able to utilize all of the technologies that have preceded them, such as text, audio and video, and combine them into an interactive online training program. This allows for a much wider field of industries to benefit from distance learning. Because of the interactive nature of computer courses, corporate training has greatly benefited from the new technology.
LeanForward advocates web based instructional systems for employee training development for a number of reasons. From a practical point of view, allowing learners to access their program through the Internet eliminates the need for producing and distributing physical copies of manuals or software. It also prevents loss or theft of proprietary material that may be included in the training process. Courses can be accessed through any broadband Internet connection, so personnel can train at the office, at home or even on the road. From an instructional point of view, custom elearning allows you to combine the benefits of instructor led training and training videos with interactive exercises, testing and traditional text book style information. Learning games can be used to reinforce the knowledge users have received. Theses types of exercise can be incredibly useful in a corporate sales training program as actual sales presentations and objections can be simulated. LeanForward is ready to use its expertise in instructional design to create a unique and engaging web based training program for your organization. Contact us today to learn more about elearning.
