Customized training curricula for government and industry

Each member of our Instructional Systems Design (ISD) team averages more than 15 years of experience, with Ed.D. and Master's degrees in Instructional Design, Adult Education, Technical Writing, and Film & Video Production. Together they have developed more than 246 interactive Computer-Based Training/Web-Based Training (CBT/WBT) courses on topics including Workplace Safety (OSHA); Military and Industrial Skills; Health Care; Human Resources; and Commercial/Recreational Certifications. They are up-to-date with commercial development tools, computer, and video equipment.

Our team can:

• Create targeted multimedia enhancements for your current materials.
• Provide custom portions of your curriculum and courses as needed: Computer- or Web-Based Tutorials, Simulations, Drill & Practice, Testing.
• Help you in deployment of your courses: Web-Based, CD-ROM, or other media.
• Review and evaluate third-party courseware and give you recommendations.

WRSystems will use its in-house instructional design, curriculum development, and content matter experts to perform the following tasks:

• Review current curriculum and curriculum documents (lesson plans, instructor guides, student guides, PowerPoint presentations, etc.).
• Review and/or conduct needs analysis with training staff and selected employees to determine what additional changes/modifications to existing curriculum are required.
• Analyze and identify which curriculum content would be best suited for e-learning/Web deployment and what content should remain as instructor-led, classroom instruction.
• Update/develop new curriculum and curriculum documents (to include design and course documents). Those intended for e-learning will be revamped for that medium. During this stage of development, our college/university partner will conduct concurrent reviews of the materials to ensure the accreditation requirements are being met.
• Conduct a pre-pilot presentation review of the courses. Update/change the curriculum documents in accordance with comments/recommendations from the review.
• Schedule "Train-the-Trainer" workshops and courses.

Our team also develops just-in-time electronic job aids with user-centered or performance-centered design through analysis of job requirements. This approach greatly reduces: need for training and mentoring; time to competent performance; errors of inexperience; and costs of poor performance. The electronic job aid itself is a short help program on a computer used by a worker who needs on-the-job assistance that can't be provided well by a "flat" text manual or other static reference.

Computer-Based Training (CBT)

Our electronic job aids and just-in-time training tools provide visually realistic assistance for detailed procedures; compensate for missing expertise in rarely performed tasks; reduce Tech Support calls; and reduce errors and damage caused by misguided handling of delicate equipment. We create targeted multimedia enhancements for your current materials and can provide custom portions of your curriculum and courses as needed, using Computer- or Web-Based Tutorials and simulations. WRSystems can assist you in deployment of your courses via the Web, CD-ROM, or other media as well as review and evaluate third-party courseware and give you recommendations. We also develop curricula and other training materials for the classroom and provide instructors who have experience in government and industry instruction for both classroom and field locations. Our engineers and technicians analyze trends in system/equipment/process failures and malfunctions critical to maintaining reliability. Our training team uses those analyses to measure continual improvement.
