EDP™
Cranial Expansion’s Expert Development Program (EDP™) is designed
to be a low-risk, high-return package for organizations looking
to add Web-Based Training (WBT) to their roster of training offerings.
While there are numerous authoring tools currently available on
the market, and a variety of vendors offering courses on how to
use those tools, there has thus far been no consolidated solution
that:
- Teaches people how to develop effective online learning materials
- Provides
a simple tool for building those materials, with output that
works in any LMS
- Supports the development process with structured
coaching
The Cranial Expansion EDP does exactly that.
Cranial Expansion’s
EDP provides all the necessary components to help your course
developers move into WBT quickly and
easily. The
program is comprised of:
- Workshops covering topics specific
to online authoring
- Regular coaching from experienced online developers
and instructional designers
- Full-featured authoring tools designed
to be user and IT-friendly
With this unique blend of services,
the EDP provides all the pieces you need to develop great eLearning,
everytime.
Workshops
EDP workshops lay the foundation for effective
WBT development by addressing common trouble
spots such
as page layout,
graphics and interactivity, and software simulations.
Workshop participants
learn using their own content, allowing them
to see firsthand how the principles apply to
their
own environment.
For
maximum effectiveness,
workshop topics and length are tailored for each
client.
Coaching
Each participant in the EDP receives dedicated
coaching from experienced, senior developers.
Coaches provide tips on effective content
creation, best practices insight, peer review, and assistance
with any other areas of difficulty that arise.
Specialized assistance is also available
in
other areas, as needed. Authoring
The Expert Development Engine (EDE), Cranial Expansion’s custom
developed authoring solution, provides powerful features and
a simple interface your users already know – a web browser. All
course management and editing is done directly in Internet Explorer,
providing a true What-You-See-Is-What-You-Get environment. Unlike
other authoring tools that are designed for expert developers
and loaded with extraneous features, EDE offers the tools you
need to create compelling eLearning, without the excess baggage.
EDE includes:
- Rich-text editing
- Image integration and
manipulation
- Popup layers and images
- Voiceover and
audio
- Simple and complex animations
- Multiple
choice questions (including single
correct, multiple correct,
and true/false)
- Hotspot questions
- Drag and drop questions
All courses developed with EDE
are standards-compliant,
giving you
a finished product that works
with your LMS, without
hassles.
