Through a consultative process, we work with you to shape the training courses to your specific needs. In collaboration we can design and develop a specific training program to encompass the diversity of your needs.
Self-Paced
Activity based (asynchronous) online courses include tutorials and a wealth of learning materials and options to support the range of learning preferences and pre-dispositions. Courses are made available for a variable amount of time typically ranging from 30 days to 6 months.
Virtual
Virtual training (synchronous) conducted by our expert trainers through online web sessions can be a cost effective alternative to Face-to-Face training. Schedule a customized, private, virtual training session for your organization or participate in our ongoing series.
Face-to-Face
Desire2Learn trainers will deliver hands-on training workshops at your institution and share best practices on teaching and learning online. On-site training includes play sessions, user case examples and scenarios. Training typically takes place in a lab setting with each participant working from their own training course.
Blended
Configure your session to suit your needs through unique combinations of Face-to-Face, Self-Paced, Virtual and technology-based interaction. A typical session may involve intensive on-site training, followed by virtual sessions with participants. Trainers will use the Desire2Learn Learning Environment Discussions tool, in combination with other communication tools, to highlight helpful information and answer any questions that trainees might have after the Face-to-Face session.
"The Desire2Learn Training team was highly effective in helping us set-up and customize our Desire2Learn website, instructing the administrator and faculty about the capabilities of the system, and answering questions. The trainers were very courteous, knowledgeable, and patient. They focused their training on building my confidence so that I would be able to handle unexpected situations that might arise with the system in the future. If I had to do it all over again, I would gladly repeat this experience."
