Consulting
I already have a training department, what do I need ThinkingKap for?
Can you teach my organization how to design its own courses?
Can you help me with the budget side of training? I don’t care if my employees are bored with their training, I just want it to cost less.
My senior management is asking if our training department needs to begin implementing eLearning instead of ILT. What are the questions I need to be prepared to answer?
I think we’re all good in the training department, but we’d like to keep up-to-date with the latest learning trends and data.
eLearning Solutions
How does the cost of eLearning compare to in-person instruction?
How long will it take you to deliver my course?
Can’t you just turn my in-person training into eLearning?
I’m not too tech-savvy. I’m worried that I’ll be in over my head when the time comes to deliver the course.
Do you use SMEs?
Our content is very dry, and our corporate culture might be upset if we tried to make it funny. So, what options might you suggest?
Instructional Design
A new hire needs to learn a lot to work with us. Can you build me a course that teaches them everything they need to know?
How can we design training that guarantees knowledge retention and job transfer?
We don’t think of ourselves as SMEs, and we have very little content documented. Can you still help me design and build a course?
We already have a course, but it might be in need of a re-design, can you help with that?
Course Conversions
We already have an eLearning course, but it’s old and cheesy. I feel like our people laugh at the haircuts in the videos more than they learn. Can you update it?
We have a been given the mandate to shorten all existing eLearning courses to 15 minutes. How do we go about converting a one- to two-hour eLearning into a program that short?
How do you make old eLearning look more modern and relevant?
I want to convert some ILT topics to eLearning, but I don’t know how to code? Is there a way to create eLearning without a programmer?
We have a ton of flash-based coursework. Can you convert them to something mobile-friendly?
Instructor-Led Learning Solutions
Can you also deliver the training for me?
I get what you’re saying about the “boring lectures” but I have so much material to cover. I need to do a lot of “telling” or my people aren’t going to have all the information they need.
What is the difference between passive and active design?
When is it most appropriate to select instructor-led learning as a solution?
Blended Learning Solutions
How do I make sure the eLearning is in sync with the live course? I don’t want to repeat myself, and I don’t want gaps in my training.
What is the best way to track blended solutions to ensure compliance with completing the training and tracking drop-outs?
How do we ensure learners realize the eLearning modules are just as important as the live portions?
What types of learning assets are included in a blended solution?
How many learning assets are too many to include in a blended solution?
Mobile Learning
Mobile is just an eLearning course. Just a setting when you go to publish. So why do I need mobile specifically?
How is designing for Mobile different than designing for eLearning?
Aren’t most mobile courses shorter and simpler than eLearning? Does that also mean cheaper and faster to develop?
How do I know my mobile training will be compatible with iOS, Android, and whatever people are using five years from now.
Can’t I just repurpose my eLearning courses?
Localization
Wait just a second, how is localization different from translation?
Do we have a choice of narrators, and how do we go about selecting one when we don’t speak the language?
How will we review the course if we don’t speak the language?
How will the foreign folks access the localized course?
