Tell me and I forget. Show me and I remember. Let me do and I understand - Confucius

No two people learn alike and the same is true of learning mediums. There are different learning strategies used to training people and there are different learning mediums used to deliver the training. Learning strategies may consist of practice with feedback, social software, adaptive instruction, and simulation. A medium doesn’t have anything to do with speaking with the dead, it is the delivery platform or how the learning is transferred. Types of delivery platforms are: CD-ROM, web-based, instructor-led, or virtual classroom (WebEx).

Learning strategies vary based on the delivery platform. It’s important to align an organization’s learning strategies to workplace competencies and mission goals, and then design the appropriate performance-based training solution.

Our solutions consultants provided these types of strategies and solutions for a wide variety of clients. For GMAC Homecomings we provided learning strategies such as adaptive instruction and simulations and delivered on a variety of platforms including an LMS, a marketing portal, and facilitated learning session. Volkswagen turns to us for their performance support solutions. The LPS Group provides a performance support portal which is used to access job aids, technical updates, and alluring marketing presentations. These learning solutions may be web-based or desk-top published and delivered as a PDF.

All these solutions are provided with the understanding that instructional methods support the content, but how the learning is delivered must guide learners to comprehend the knowledge and/or skills.
