Mission
- We craft structured educational products that enable professional expertise to engage and inform professionals seeking new knowledge and practices.
Range of Projects
- Specialized curricula hosted on custom portals.
- Multiple courses on client-branded portals.
- Continuing education courses published on client-designated websites or other media.
Standards
- Our programs are produced in full compliance with International Association for Continuing Education and Training (IACET) standards. IACET is an ANSI standards developer specializing in continuing education and training.
- Our programs comply with AIA requirements for distance education and health, safety and welfare (HSW) credit.
Methodology
- We design our distance education and instructor-led courses using proven adult-education methods.
- We have pioneered numerous applications including the first AIA-approved game-based learning programs for continuing education in architecture and design.
- Participants may interact with contributing authors to resolve questions and share insights.
- We design, test, and implement courses in a format targeted to reach the people in an organization.
- The ANSI/IACET Standards require a systems approach to continuing education. This means that implementation is as much a management responsibility as an instructional or software design responsibility.
- Our instructional designers work hand-in-hand with client providers to ensure that courses are produced to the highest standards of continuing education. Some key points in the process:
- Interview designated agents in order to elicit goals and objectives from the source.
- Review client-supplied materials, and adapt the look and feel of online framing accordingly.
- Write and design original content, and develop educationally appropriate graphics and interactive exercises.
- Provide multiple opportunities for stake-holder review.
