VisumDesign™

Create a unique learning experience.

Organizations have distinctive personalities and needs just as individual people do. Training programs that fail to consider these needs are, at best, only marginally relevant and effective.

At Visum, we realize that it's one thing to know how to teach. It's another to know how to fashion a unique learning experience that has a direct, positive and measurable impact on performance and productivity. VisumDesign follows a robust instructional design methodology that is at the core of the Visum learning experience. Our customized approach ensures that course content and delivery match the learning requirements of the target audience with your organization's business objectives.

Courses and learning solutions created through VisumDesign can be implemented using your existing resources and learning infrastructure, or assigned to Visum for implementation.

Key Features of VisumDesign™

Course Design

In the VisumDesign phase, a course or curriculum is developed the same way an architect designs a building: from concept to detailed models to blueprint. The course design is the learning blueprint. It addresses content, practice activities and feedback mechanisms, plots every event and the time allocated to it. It defines a methodology for assessing learner achievement and considers the resources required to conduct the training program.

Delivery System

Visum designs programs for classroom, online or blended learning, and will make a recommendation based on the content, resources, objectives of your organization, and the requirements of learners.

Content Development

Visum's experienced instructional design staff knows we are all born with a drive to learn — and that successful learning programs engage that basic human drive through relevant, creative and innovative content. Visum designs effective content and courses for all formats — classroom, electronic (including Web and CD-ROM), and blended learning.

Testing and Piloting

Careful and thorough testing of all learning components ensures that they will function as designed within all media and delivery formats.

Instructor Preparation

Instructor preparation should reflect the unique nature of the course content. VisumDesign provides instructors with the opportunity to review content and methodology with Visum's instructional designers. Practice sessions, discussion and feedback are used to fine-tune the curriculum and instructor readiness.

Instructional Systems Design Training

Some aspects of VisumDesign can be adapted and implemented by organizations with internal learning program staff and resources. Visum provides instructional systems design training to accommodate client timing and logistical preferences — classroom or online — for an individual or a group.

Online Course Development Training

Visum offers special in-person training to organizations that want to develop their own online training programs.
