How Connected Training fits into the world of Computer-Based Training

There are many other training systems available which will train your employees using a computer. Whether built from scratch or configured for you, most systems do not take into account some basic factors involved in delivering effective training:

  • Best learning occurs when getting the message across effectively to your employees using real examples or simulation rather than boring text or droning narration
  • The system must be dedicated to presenting this message simply, with low technical hurdles not getting in the way of accessing it (no trainee computer knowledge required, no complicated installations or difficult configurations to perform)
  • Avoidance of long download times, reliance on high-bandwidth connections, or acceptance of low-quality training materials because of limitations of accessing media through the Internet
  • Poor instructional design which leads to poor retention or employees 'just not getting it.'
  • Cumbersome systems which are difficult to install, administer, and change; this makes keeping your training materials current too difficult to attempt, and leads to a 'we'll update it later' approach.
  • No emphasis on really using the data generated during the testing process for shaping future company training and workforce growth. The test data gathered just isn't easily accessible or comprehensible in a concise, configurable fashion.

Connected Training avoids such pitfalls by making use of a custom-developed framework for delivering the training message. Self-running and installing software is delivered to your staff on computer discs which allow them to easily start the training session without any computer knowledge whatsoever. Delivery of your training materials this way keeps it safe from comptetitors who might view the materials on the unregulated public internet. Plus, we keep our commitment to you by following through with technical support if needed.

We focus to on presenting your message with the maximum impact and suitability for your audience. Our years of professional instructional experience provide the knowledge you need to make sure each training program will be effective. Our instructional designers work with you to hone your message and deliver it through intelligent media that makes sense to your employees, then tie it into the Connected Training system for deployment.

Once deployed, your training system becomes a living, breathing entity which affords you an unparallelled level of knowledge about your employees' training experience. All testing data is preserved and can be mined for information across any testing demographic. Plus, making changes to your tests is a simple process which can be performed by anyone in your training department.

The Connected Training system has been developed after years of experience with companies both large and small, and affords you the power of their systems at a fraction of their development cost. Built in to the system is all of the ease of use, functionality and lessons learned from such experiences. We invite you to get in touch with us to find out more.
