CBT, MBT, WBT, EPSS, IDL ... In an alphabet soup of alternative delivery methods, the technological "cart" of interactive multimedia is all too often expected to pull the learning "horse."  In the process, it's easy to lose track of the fact that the most important part of interactive multimedia courseware isn't the technology or even the content.  It's the individual learner.  That's who your organization is counting on to achieve its business goals. 

Building the Learning Around the Learner 

At Major Media Learning Resources, our guiding philosophy and operating strategy are focused on building the learning around the learner. That's true for every training project -- whether whether it's delivered through CD-ROM, intranet,  extranet, the worldwide web, traditional classroom instruction or a hybrid delivery method.

Whatever the delivery technology, our goal in developing interactive multimedia courseware remains the same: to create a richly compelling learning context in which learners are challenged and motivated not just to learn new information ... but to modify the old attitudes, build the new skills and apply the critical thinking needed to master it. 

Scores of real-world studies (and meta studies) have demonstrated that  technology-based training  provides an unbeatable return on investment for a wide range of training applications.   In many cases, interactive multimedia is the best answer to the corporate call for faster, cheaper and better training ... offering such benefits as: 

Improved Performance

• 100% consistent training available on demand to as few or as many learners as needed.
• Learning gains up to 56% greater than classroom instruction
• Content retention 25-50% higher

Time and Cost Savings

• 100-150% return on investment within one to two years.
•  40-60% reduction in training time
• 40-60% reduction in wage, benefit and opportunity costs for time spent in training.
• Reduction or elimination of trainer and trainee travel expenses.
