THE ONLY CHOICE FOR LEARNING

You cannot make a better training choice than multi-sensory instruction! You can’t!

Not lectures — not textbooks — not equipment manufacturers written operating instructions — not computer-based training (CBT) — not reading-based e-Learning (i.e., repurposed PowerPoint) — not even hands-on with “Ol’ Charlie!

Nope!

Multi-sensory learning, with an emphasis on full motion video, is the best way to train — hands down! If you want your trainees to learn necessary skills and, even better, retain that learning for a longer time, full motion video is the “winner and still champion!” Every study comes up with the same conclusion!

Why? Because the learning culture for the past half-century has evolved around the television set. Computers make use of that same full motion video, as do today’s smart phones and tablets.

That’s the way people choose to learn today and the results prove it. Retention is extended and skills are acquired more readily. Like it or not, reading has been replaced by full motion video as the better way to achieve skills acquisition.

Today, you’ve got two choices: digitized CD-ROMs networked over a training-dedicated LAN and SOME of the evolving e-Learning technologies.

Learners interact constantly with multi-sensory training which makes the courses more interesting, while increasing comprehension and retention. In the process, training time requirements are drastically reduced — by as much as 70% when multi-sensory training programs are created with a learner-focus.

Lessons can be customized to meet your facility-specific needs which, of course, gives the instructor ultimate control of the training process. In addition, multi-sensory learning can have the significant advantage of “anytime-anywhere” access — a powerful benefit.

In short, you should be looking for multi-sensory designs with an emphasis on full motion video. They’re out there and available in a digitized CD-ROM format and in a smaller, but growing, number of e-Learning choices.

Full motion video and full motion animations are today’s keys to effective learning!
