Mint Learning

Roadway lighting is a significant part of what NB Power does and they frequently give presentations about this service. NB Power wanted a media‑rich presentation that included flash, video, 3D, and impressive graphic design. Given the amount of information on this aspect of their business, the challenge was to incorporate as much content as possible and express it in an exciting way, without overloading the audience. This presentation has been featured in numerous municipalities, conferences, and meetings across Canada and has received a very warm reception where ever it is given.

This project required the development of a standalone e-learning module that could be deployed through the web. The course was designed for first‑year students learning essential writing skills, like constructing a thesis statement. Additionally, the project had a very tight timeline. As such, we needed to use an expedited development process—rapid e‑learning.

Rapid E‑Learning

The emergence and evolution of software like Microsoft PowerPoint and Adobe Captivate has allowed individuals with rudimentary development skills to produce instructionally and aesthetically engaging courseware in a fraction of the time it used to take to develop courseware. In this approach, authoring and programming is streamlined, allowing courses to be delivered in weeks rather than months. While producing courseware using traditional methods provides limitless customizability, which is required in most e‑learning development, rapid e‑learning is a great alternative for time sensitive projects.

Many companies have an intranet. Among other things, these networks are often used to deploy vast amounts of information to employees; this is the case at NB Power. Our task was to redesign and rebuild a portion of their intranet that provided benefits details to employees—hundreds of pages of content. As a learning consulting and solutions company, we approached the content and functionality from an instructional perspective, which significantly improved information transer and user engagement. While not a pervasive idea in the industry, standard websites can benefit from an instructional approach.

Instructionally Designed Websites Yield Massive Results

Most websites intend to transfer information to visitors on some level. Instructional theory, the foundation of instructional design, attempts to ellucidate how to maximize information transfer. As such, by having your website instructionally designed, users will have a far more meaningful experience.
