Digital Learning for Modern Audiences 

Today’s learner needs an experience beyond passive, presentation-style learning to drive changes in mindset and behavior. AllenComm’s approach to web-based training is built on a foundation of best practices in adult learning principles and brought to life through innovative technology. The result is an immersive, seamless, and flexible experience that can empower learners whether delivered as a standalone experience or as part of a blended learning ecosystem.

Make Web-Based Learning Flexible

One of the many benefits of a custom eLearning solution is the various ways we can align the learning modality with the desired outcomes. Web-based learning takes many forms and can augment a training experience through a wide range of applications.

Use Cases

  • An entire curriculum can be delivered through asynchronous web-based activities, complete with assessments and integrated media as necessary 
  • Digital learning can serve as pre- and post-work for a synchronous workshop or other social learning activity, setting the stage with foundational understanding 
  • Digital toolkits organize and structure the use of supplementary resources, documents, links, and more. We can also transform reference information into interactive activities 

Outcomes

  • Digital learning can slot seamlessly into a curriculum as needed to maximize engagement and retention, whether before, during, or after the main training event 
  • Self-paced exploration flexes to meet individual needs and preferences 
  • Micro- and nano-modules keep learning laser-focused, memorable, and easy to revisit, allowing for just-in-time reference on the job 

Heighten Digital Learning Engagement 

Engagement with individual training is critical to driving groundbreaking performance improvement, and we bring a strategic approach to capturing and keeping learner attention. AllenComm understands the difference between an industry buzzword and a trend—the best practices we build into our digital learning solutions are backed by research and results.

Use Cases

  • Activities such as action planners, impact diagnostics, role-based learning paths, and other personalization features challenge learners to consider “what’s in it for me?” 
  • Gamification strategies like points, scoring, badging, game boards, leaderboards, and more spark friendly competition and increase interactivity.  
  • Human beings are natural storytellers—compelling narratives are one of the strongest tools we can use to demonstrate relevance, explore consequences, and drive home key takeaways 

Outcome

  • Learners connect their own personal needs, challenges, and goals to the purpose of the training, driving a commitment to implementing what they’ve learned 
  • By driving personal investment in the outcome of the training, learners can be prompted to pursue and achieve goals in skill-building or career path advancement 
  • Training that feels relevant and meaningful not only boosts skill-building, it also demonstrates respect for learner time and progress  

Innovate with Learning Tech

As innovators in the L&D space, we’re always looking for ways to help our clients elevate their training offerings and take advantage of modern technology and methodology. AllenComm is continually exploring applications for groundbreaking technology in training, including building custom applications and environments for AR/VR purposes, artificial intelligence (AI) for greater personalization, and fully immersive digital learning. 

Process

  • Interactive video incorporates built-in checkpoints that challenge learners to respond in real-time to what they’ve seen on screen or to pause the video at the appropriate moment  
  • 360° activities allow learners to explore a 3D space or model, learning more about the environment they are immersed in by finding and selecting hotspots 
  • Simulations can be created on a spectrum of complexity, from system sandboxes to branching scenarios to multi-layered games 

Outcomes

  •  Learners come to the training session prepared with foundational knowledge, practice, and reflection 
  • Digital learning content can be built upon in the instructor-led setting through discussion and group brainstorm 
  • Gain the benefits of both web-based training and instructor-led training

actionable insights

The final deliverable is a combination of the previous three—the Research Plan, Key Findings report, and Opportunity Analysis—with final revisions complete and ready for approval.

The Actionable Insights report will help you start bringing your vision to life by…

  • Listing available options to fill the gaps between your current and future state
  • Evaluating and rating the options based on objectives and decision-making criteria
  • Providing clear, actionable recommendations on next steps
  • Illustrating an implementation roadmap based on the recommended option(s)


But our partnership doesn’t stop there. We’d love to use our 40+ years of experience in advisory to help you overcome any barriers to getting started, such as winning buy in from key decision makers and stakeholders. Once we submit the report, we’ll facilitate a meeting in which we present the results to core analysis team members and any stakeholders or decision makers you invite, and we’ll answer questions to help rally others to your cause.


After the meeting, we’ll refine the report with final feedback to reflect all decisions made to help guide you to success as you set out on the journey ahead.

allencomm advisory

opportunity analysis

Our third deliverable takes analysis to the next level by fully identifying the opportunity ahead with…

  • A summary of all gaps between the Key Findings report and the objectives and desired outcomes outlined in the Research Plan
  • A current-state map of key platforms and technologies in the learning ecosystem
  • A future-state map representing possible, desirable architecture or configuration of the learning tech ecosystem
  • A breakdown of the delta between the current state and the future state maps
  • An assessment of your organization’s readiness for change, knowledge constraints, and identified risks


We want to be your partner throughout the process, not just another consultant. That’s why continued alignment on next steps and deliverables is critical to our process. As we refine the vision of what your future state can look like—and how you can get there—we’ll note any revisions for the next phase before moving forward with any recommendations.

allencomm advisory

Key Findings

After the initial analysis and Research Plan are approved, we’ll review the assets provided and meet with your team, including key decision makers, to answer any remaining questions from the plan.
