Business Purpose

Learnity has growing training and development needs and has hired an instructional designer to develop eLearning training courses. As personnel numbers increase, it has become more challenging to find the time to onboard and train staff, leading to confusion and management challenges.

Currently, select team members across the company create training as needed, but there is no overall process involved with branding, design, content development, and evaluation of effectiveness. Hiring an instructional designer is the first step towards developing a cohesive training program.

In order for this change to be understood and leveraged effectively across teams, creating self-paced eLearning will be imperative to building a strong foundation of understanding about training development moving forward.

Target Audience

Learning and Training team, team managers, product specialists, IT department, beta testers

Training Time

30 minutes: all modules and knowledge checks are required to complete the course.

Training Recommendation

An eLearning course with various interactions, knowledge checks, and an assessment is recommended. An eLearning format will provide the flexibility to effectively scale the training to all employee groups required.
