Learning Solutions

ABL Solutions offers a variety of bespoke learning solutions to meet your learning and learner needs.

 

Serious e-Learning

There is e-Learning and then there is "serious" e-Learning. ABL Solutions develops serious e-Learning solutions that are learner-centric and performance-driven; allows the learner to make realistic decisions; provides simulated experiences that reflect real-world, on the job situations; and is visually and interactively engaging. We believe in challenging the learner and allowing them to fail and try again. It's one of the best ways to learn. Can we develop generic "page-turner" courses? Sure. But, if you're serious about learning, why would you?  We will help you Go Helium to create "serious" e-Learning solutions for your organization.

 

Converting ILT to Online

Do you have instructor-led training (ILT) courses that are ready to be converted into an online format?  If so, ABL Solutions will collaboratively design online solution(s) that either replace or supplement your current ILT offerings. 

Mobile Learning (m-Learning)

The workforce is mobile. Since approximately 75% of U.S. adults own digital tablets and nearly 100% own mobile phones, it's no wonder why intrinsically motivated adult learners grab their mobile device to learn something new, refresh their memory on a topic, and access learning apps for on-the-go just-in-time (JIT) learning. Our short, microlearning solutions scale perfectly in size and duration for the on-the-go learner.

 

Instructional Systems Design

ABL Solutions has highly qualified instructional systems designers (ISDs) that have the Go Helium mind-set while incorporating best practice instructional systems design principles and strategies.  If you don't have a team of ISDs, we can perform that function for you.  If you just need peripheral ISD support to supplement your current team of ISDs and subject matter experts, we've got your back.

Performance Support

"Learning by doing" is a well known adage and best practice in the learning community.  But sometimes, you need a just-in-time (JIT) refresher. Maybe you don't have time to spend multiple days in the classroom, or the many hours necessary to study a book or guide. That's where Performance Support comes in. ABL Solutions creates performance support tools that allow you to dig as deep and as far as you want without burdening you with information you don't want or need.

 

LCMS Implementation Consultation

Researching, selecting, and implementing a Learning Content Management System (LCMS) can be a daunting journey. From requirements generation, through implementation, ABL Solutions is here for support.  Our resources have led several LCMS implementations.  The process can be politically-heated, confusing, and challenging to navigate. Bring us on-board to provide guidance for the many obstacles that you're sure to experience, and allow us to help you realize a successful return on investment.


"Boutique" Services

Graphic Facilitation/Recording

Most of the population are visual thinkers (~ 63%), where words and concepts are seen as "pictures" in the individual's mind.  Whereas the remainder of the population are verbal thinkers who think in sentences or in words. During events or meetings where there is a substantial amount of information being disseminated and processed, graphic recording meets the needs of both types of thinkers. Think of graphic recording as "visual notetaking."  It combines pictures and words to form a contextual illustration that tells the entire story of the meeting or event.

ABL Solutions provides full-day and half-day graphic recording and facilitation services that have proven to be effective during ideation, visioning, and decision making events. We are able to help organizations solve tough problems simply by helping them to visually "connect the dots" that lead to success.

UI/UX Design and Graphic Design

ABL Solutions provides user interface and user experience, as well as graphic design services.  Perhaps you just need assistance in the UI/UX design of your mobile app or website.  Maybe you need help in developing information graphics for your presentation or annual report.  We're here for the job.

Organizational Change Management (OCM) Support

OCM has a lot of facets, not just "training."  It includes stakeholder buy-in, communications, business readiness, and managing the culture shift. It's about implementing an overall change management strategy, managing expectations, understanding and addressing resistance, as well as identifying and supporting change champions. Often, there are not enough "bodies" to effectively implement OCM. ABL Solutions resources have experience supporting OCM efforts. Plug us in and tell us how we can help.
