Digital Learning Consulting

This analysis will identify areas that can be profitably improved to more effectively and efficiently reach your goals. We then jointly arrive at a set of recommendations relating to Digital Learning that is feasible within your time and cost parameters. Some of the potential areas which are typically addressed are detailed below.

Your staff will become experts at using EasyProf very quickly both because of the excellent training resources available in ITACA's Virtual Campus as well as customized programs that can be made available.
Instructional Design Services
Instructional Design is the practice of maximizing the effectiveness, efficiency and appeal of instruction and other learning experiences. Instructional design typically involves
- assessing the current state and needs of the learner
- identifying appropriate learning goals
- designing content that is pedagogically informed
- assessing the learner
- providing appropriate quantifiable feedback
The role of an instructional designer could loosely be compared to that of a screenplay writer. Converting a book into a screen play for a movie is a specialized art that takes into account the best way the content can "play" in movie. Similarly, Instructional Designers convert traditional content for deployment in digital media. The rapid development of technology and multimedia content has now made possible excellent instructional design that fully uses various senses of the learner and frequently demands her interaction thus ensuring engagement and retention.
Digital Content Creation
Your organization might have excellent content that needs to be made into digital content. While instructional design is the first step in enabling this transition, the content now needs to be produced. This will involve
- creating appropriate animations or video clips
- designing various templates
- providing appropriate internal and external links
- providing appropriate navigation, help, print and search buttons
- creating pleasing and uncluttered screens on the digital media by using such resources as pop- up windows
- designing appropriate tests and evaluation
Our production team, backstopped ably by ITACA, is well trained in using EasyProf and other software to enable the creation of complex e learning courses and content in a highly cost effective way.
Design and Development of Related Collaborative Application Tools
Wildbox Technologies with the help of powerful Web 2.0 tools offers Learning 2.0. Learning 2.0, now a commonly used industry term. Learning 2.0 can help organizations solve many of their learning and training needs that conventional means of learning cannot. Learning 2.0 mainly implies the increasing use of collaborative e-learning. Where previously students learned from instructional packages, the extensive use of tools like blogs, wiki, RSS Feeds, second life and so on enables the student herself be part of the instructional design package. Learning 2.0 is a fundamental shift in learning methodology that places the learner at the centre of learning and allows the learner to control the learning. Learning 2.0 does not replace conventional means of learning; it augments conventional methods of learning with a set of Web 2.0 tools and systems.
