Training Program Formats
We strive to meet your training needs which is why we provide users with a variety of session formats to choose from:
Desire2Learn trainers will travel to your organization to deliver hands-on training and share best practices on teaching and learning online. On-site sessions include play sessions, case examples and scenarios. Training typically takes place in a lab setting with each participant working from his or her very own training course.
This type of training session offers you a unique combination of on-site and virtual training. A typical session will involve intensive on-site training, followed by a virtual session with participants. Trainers will utilize the discussion tool, in combination with other communication tools, to highlight helpful information and answer any questions that trainees might have after the on-site session.
Virtual training is conducted using D2L Live, our web conferencing system, and is conducted completely online. Trainees are able to watch a trainer demonstrate and explain key concepts and learn how to effectively use the Desire2Learn eLearning Suite. During the session, trainees are able to ask questions, share information and practice using robust tools. Participants are also given interactive play sessions to complete.
Share your experiences, showcase your skills and network while participating in an event focused specifically on you and other Desire2Learn users in your area. Based on the "train-the-trainer" model, regional sessions are collaborative and are designed to include hands-on practice sessions, scenarios and networking opportunities. Training can be held virtually or at a regional on-site location.
"We found the trainer to be well informed about the product, flexible in her approach, and capable of adapting the presentation to somewhat challenging circumstances. The trainer was more than willing to help us adapt our needs and assisted us in finding a solution to some rather unique problems."
