Why Streamed Learning?

As the training function continues to evolve in most organizations, a new and relatively simple electronic delivery option is emerging – Streamed Learning.

Video and now DVD’s have proven themselves as a powerful tool in the learning process – both in individual and group settings.

• The dramatic impact of a well-made video stimulates thinking and discussion on important topics
• Video dramatizations are an effective way to simulate relevant examples of the subject matter and behaviors being discussed
• Content experts with national stature can be brought into your workgroup at an affordable cost through the video medium
• Video works for both auditory and visual learners making it more effective for many people (and more interesting) than simple text-based learning
• Video can be customized to meet the individual needs of your organization
• You can use a complete video program or license clips as learning objects that best meet your needs
• Video is a cost-effective training tool that can deliver a consistent message to a large number of employees
• Video works well as an element in a blended learning approach
• Video is compelling

With the development of broadband computer networks, and especially the Internet, it has become much easier to deliver video to anyone’s desktop or laptop computer anywhere in the world. This is done over an organization’s internal network (intranet) which resides inside the firewall, or over the Internet.

There are a variety of formats for streamed media, with the most popular currently being Windows Media Player, Flash Streamed Media, or QuickTime files. Streamed Learning can be delivered in any streaming format.

Many Streamed Learning producers provide you with a post-test, training guide, chapterization, PowerPoint® and other resources to enhance your training and measure its effectiveness. You can also get reports to help you keep track of which employees have viewed a program, when they viewed it, what score they received on a post-test,

etc.
