What Sets Our Instructional Designers Apart: Accelerated Learning
|
It's impossible for anyone to learn if they are not involved in the process. Unlike traditional training, in which employees are passive recipients of information through boring lectures, the instructional designers at The Training Oasis, Inc. actively engage participants through:
|
|
|
|
|
- simulations
- real world case studies
- themes
- props
- peer coaching
|
- team exercises
- games
- games shows
- improvisation exercises
- practice, practice, practice
|
|
|
|
The result? Improved effectiveness.
Our instructional designers don't approach training as an isolated event. Instead, to ensure the training is applied to the work environment, we facilitate transfer of learning through:
|
|
|
|
|
- senior management briefings
- team leader coaching clinics
- coaching guides for team leaders

|
- pre-course packages
- job-related course projects
- post course follow-up
- post course evaluation

Custom Instructional
Design Services
|
Our instructional designers will help you thoroughly assess your requirements through:
- review of documentation
- interviews with subject matter experts
- senior management project meetings
We'll offer candid feedback to help you make informed decisions. We'll formulate a design blueprint for your approval complete with content outline and templates for:
- overheads or slide shows
- participant workbooks
- facilitator’s manuals
- coaching guides
If your budget is limited, we can coach your subject matter experts or internal designers to develop the programme. Alternatively, we can develop the full programme for you. We'll design a prototype facilitator kit. We can assemble it for you or provide you with a list of kit contents. We can either deliver the programme or train your trainers to deliver it.

Client Comment About A Design Blueprint
"We hired The Training Oasis, Inc. to design a course on Instructional Design. Anne Thornley-Brown designed an effective survey that gathered valuable information from subject matter experts across the country. Using this compiled information and following the design cycle steps, Anne designed a well organized course. Anne is a very knowledgeable and creative instructional designer. She knows how to address the participants' needs and make technical training more interesting. She is flexible and listens to her client's requirements. I have no hesitation in recommending Anne for any future project."

A Word About Integrity |
Integrity may seem like an unusual word to bring into a discussion of design services. We think that there is an important relationship between integrity and design. At The Training Oasis, Inc., integrity is our highest value. We may not offer you the lowest bid or quote but as we believe in giving prospective clients realistic time and cost estimates so that you can:
- plan effectively
- avoid embarrassment and a loss of credibility
due to cost and time overruns.
A recent issue of the Training Report newspaper highlighted the unethical practice of consultants offering low bids in order to secure instructional design projects. When the project is well underway, prices are drastically inflated due to "unforeseen circumstances". We respect our clients and value their business too much to play these kinds of
games.
