Methodology
Plan - Sabre will help you align business goals, program scope, and program objectives with all learning objectives, as well as create and design a comprehensive learning strategy and solution that aligns with organizational goals and performance outcomes.
If the content is not shaped and presented in a manner that is engaging and useful, it will not matter how many bells and whistles are featured in your course. Additionally, you must consider the internal marketing and communication of the course and its overall purpose to the internal audience it serves.
Build - Sabre’s instructional design team will help you align business goals, program scope, and objectives with all learning objectives, as well as create and design a comprehensive learning strategy and solution that aligns with your organizational goals and performance outcomes.
Market - It is important to market your e-learning solution within your company. The internal marketing of your e-learning initiative basically has three phases: the kickoff, internal marketing, and maintenance marketing. The kickoff phase introduces employees to the your e-Learning program. The internal marketing phase promotes it to new users and introduces them to the product (i.e., demonstrating the product to them). The maintenance marketing phase is designed so that usage is maintained and/or increased.
Deploy - In developing a deployment strategy, consider your target audience—their learning preferences, their locations, the resources that are available to them to attend learning programs, etc. Corporate goals and objectives should also be defined and the strategy aligned to them. Also take into account budget constraints, potential realized benefits and return on investment. Do you need to track users' use of a course, time in the course, course navigation, pretest and posttest scores? Sabre can help you determine the right Learning Management System for you. Will you distribute your e-Learning solution via the internet, corporate intranet or CD-ROM? Saber can help you with that decision.
Assess - For e-Learning, a variety of stakeholders need to establish value. Through their performance, learners demonstrate whether the instruction is worth their time and effort. Instructors and designers want to know if instruction results in improved knowledge and skills. Managers want to know whether the training has achieved the desired outcome and if they have realized a sufficient return on investment. Many want to know if learning transfers to the job. Sabre can help you answer these questions.
Support - Sabre can help maintain and/or monitor the content or implementation strategy of your e-learning initiative. Having a complete plan that highlights future trends in your organization's development and its relativity to the e-learning initiative is often overlooked.
