Enterprise e-learning technologies can be quite complex. Often it is hard to know if you have utilized the best tools in the market place, or the best technology infrastructure to host/deliver or manage your Learning Environments.

This service highlights and recommends paths for improvement, pointing out key pressure points, strengths/weaknesses of your system(s)…..and provides you with the knowledge, and guidance to align your technology with your learning initiatives and can provide you and your Learning System with a Certificate of Health!

An onsite with one of our consultants will provide you with the following initial service, combined with a tailored post site visit report, which can be used as a foundation to enable us to assist you in enhancing your training initiative, or as guidelines for you to move forward at your own pace.

1. Kick-off meeting: Identify key personnel leading the current Learning Initiative. Understand and collate information regarding the learning systems that are currently in place. [This would require a demonstration by the client of the current learning environment
2. Learning Initiative Show & Tell: Understand the avenues of learning you’d like to explore and or need to enhance as part of your learning initiative
3. Delivery Mechanism Show & Tell: As with any health check, it is necessary to understand the network/traffic/loads placed on any system to ensure optimal learning. Often Infrastructure is enhanced for one project, and other systems dovetail or steal the bandwidth limiting your training systems.
4. End User Show & Tell: Create our consultant an example user id within your training environment and we will sit and review your online learning. Enable them to analyze independently your systems, after all any new recruit will be at the cutting edge of your learning.

Learning Delivery Mechanism

It doesn't matter how good your learning initiative looks on paper, even if it is implemented to specification.  If end users find the systems overall hard to understand, systems are slow to load or inaccessible due to bandwidth issues, your training initiative will not succeed. 

The end result can be is that despite large investments in development of training material, very often the delivery mechanism for online learning is overlooked.  Allow us to come onsite and evaluate your existing materials, carry out load balance testing and utilize our experience to reutilize your training materials, enhance your network infrastructure and tweak your delivery mechanisms.

Often Infrastructure is enhanced for one project, and other systems dovetail or steal the bandwidth limiting your training systems.

• Review of internal infrastructure to deliver training initiatives
• Review Pressure Point of training systems
• Carry out Pitfall Tests and download averages
• Estimate average load bearing of typical volume of end users for your organizational training needs

During a follow-up debrief session (usually done virtually after all the data has been tallied), we will answer questions and make a recommendation for enhancements to your learning materials and/or infrastructure that will improve your delivery, and enhance end learning experiences..

We will also share war stories and customer satisfaction data with you to help assist in your our internal analysis process.
