If your goal is to create training programs that are interesting and cost-effective, Full Circle Studios is an ideal partner. We offer our clients the expert consulting of Dr. Kevin Crosby, who has a Ph.D. in Instructional Design and over 35 years of designing, delivering, and evaluating training programs. As a company, Full Circle has designed, written and produced a wide variety of well-received and effective training programs for use in manufacturing, healthcare, and service industries. If the target audience for your training is under the age of 60, then you know they grew up watching television and they probably use the Internet on a regular basis. Why is this important? It means that the audience for your training program has been conditioned to have a short attention span, to expect high-quality video, and to expect to control their access to information whenever or wherever it’s needed. It also means that your audience is likely to be less tolerant of old-fashioned approaches to training. No one has the time or patience to sit through boring training programs. What are some other trends affecting how training programs are developed and delivered? Clearly, the trend is from linear to non-linear programs; from event-based to self-paced learning activities; from large-group presentations to small-group and individualized approaches; from didactic to interactive; from synchronous learning events to asynchronous; from teacher-dependent to learner-dependent approaches; and from “classes” to “learning events.” So, how do you create training programs that people enjoy and that are effective in achieving their objectives? This is where Full Circle can help. We ask questions, we listen, and we work in collaboration with your team to combine established principles of Instructional Design, artistic creativity and digital media production expertise to achieve the results you want. We offer suggestions to optimize the flexibility and cost-effectiveness of your training program. We can even offer suggestions for evaluating the effectiveness of your training program.
