The Training Owl.

The Training Owl has been providing expert training design for over 20 years. We are passionate instructional designers and have a deep understanding of how to create effective training programs. We specialize in 5 key types of training development: eLearning, blended learning, mobile learning, instructor-led training and virtual instructor-led training.

When designing our training programs, we use a variety of methodologies to ensure the learning experience is engaging and effective. We utilize the ADDIE Model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation) to create the structure of the program. We also use a variety of instructional strategies including Learner-Centered Design, Problem-Based Learning, and Action Mapping. To ensure the training is engaging, we use game-based learning, simulations, and storytelling. We also use data-driven practices to measure the impact of the training on learners’ performance.

Training Development:
- On-the-job Training: A type of training that occurs in the workplace and is done by a supervisor or mentor who guides an employee through the steps of a task and provides feedback.
- Classroom Training: A type of training that occurs in a formal classroom setting and is conducted by an instructor or facilitator. It can involve lectures, case studies, and interactive activities.
- Virtual Training: A type of training that is conducted online and is conducted by an instructor or facilitator. It can include webinars, video conferencing, and interactive activities.
- Blended Learning: A type of training that combines elements of both classroom and virtual training. It can include lectures, case studies, webinars, video conferencing, and interactive activities.
- Mobile Learning: A type of training that is conducted using mobile devices and is designed to be accessible anytime, anywhere. It can include e-learning, apps, and interactive activities.

Training Development Methodologies:

Adult Learning Theory:

A learning model that is based on the belief that adults learn best when they are actively involved in the learning process and when the content is relevant to their lives.

Experiential Learning:

A learning model that is focused on learning through experience. It is based on the idea that learning is most effective when it is based on real-life experiences.

Problem-based Learning:

A learning model that is centered around solving problems. It is based on the idea that learning is most effective when the learner is actively engaged in the process of solving a problem.

Behavior Modeling:

A learning model that is based on the idea that learners can learn by observing and imitating the behavior of others.

Brain-based Learning:

A learning model that is based on the idea that learning is most effective when it takes into account the biological, psychological, and social aspects of learning.
