It has been said that an organization’s training department should really be called the “performance improvement department”. Well-trained employees are much more productive and find their work experience more fulfilling. Training makes a real difference in the performance of companies. Numerous studies have proven that e-learning / distance learning is often the most effective method of training. The reasons are numerous and are detailed in our downloadable report available on this page. Rivertown Communications has been developing effective custom e-learning courses since 1991 and e-learning and distance learning is our main product.
To guide our training design, we have adapted a set of principles. We believe that:
Effective e-learning / distance learning design always begins with listening to the customers needs - A high degree of interactivity is a necessary component in high-quality e-Learning
- Users should always be aware of where they are in the program
- Navigation should be clear and intuitive
- Consistency is a fundamental aspect of high-quality e-learning
- Clarity is a key component in high-quality e-learning
- High-quality e-learning courseware will follow fundamental learning principles
- E-learning systems should be easy to maintain and update
An integral element of a successful e-learning implementation is learner tracking and content management. Rivertown Communications offers the “Prosperity” LMS (Learning Management System) to fill this need. See the DETAIL WINDOW for more information on this comprehensive management tool.
Because video and streaming video is such an effective training tool Rivertown has developed internal video production capabilities. We can produce video segments at your location or ours and integrate the edited clips into your e-learning, or stream in connection with your distance learning system.
To reach your total audience, we can develop multilingual e-learning. In Minnesota, we often produce training with alternate audio or subtitle tracks is Spanish, Somali or Hmong. So that everyone in you audience can benefit from your training, we can design it to be fully accessible to the disabled, meeting all ADA / Section 508 and state accessibility requirements.
If your organization is considering developing of an e-learning or distance learning program, we can help. We recognize the importance of completely understanding the need of the client, before we begin the training design. If you are trying to decide if e-learning makes sense for your organization we’d be happy to schedule a no-obligation discussion. Or, you can download our e-learning report from this page. This report contains information that should help you make the right choice.
