Technology-Based Training Design and Development:
Technology-based training (eLearning) is one of the most compelling and fastest growing benefits to business and industry due to its easy delivery and multi-platform capabilities. Interactive and multimedia-rich learning content can bring training topics to life, creating a dynamic and engaging learning environment, regardless of time zones and geographical barriers. Simulations and exercises may be developed and are powerful learning tools effective in teaching operation of simple to complex equipment. Learners have the ability to explore and become familiar with equipment and procedures without suffering possible expensive consequences for mistakes made. Learners gain confidence and (virtual) experience by operating a simulated piece of equipment and by receiving coaching and feedback, when necessary. Typically, both access and content are controllable and updatable, allowing flexibility, convenience, and a high-quality learning event.

DTS offers and recommends a combination of the following:

• Computer-based learning/training (CBT)
• Web-based learning/training (WBT), and
• Interactive video television/teletraining (IVT)

Facilitator Led Training:
DTS offers your company process-oriented classes designed to assist instructors/presenters in improving delivery skills and equipment knowledge. Areas of concentration include:

1. Instructor/Presenter Coaching and Evaluation:

• Instructor/Presenter Critiques: Improvement through one-on-one assistance for on-camera presence skills.
• Video Critiques: Evaluation of videotaped learning/presenting session.

2. Room and Touch Screen Layout:

• Room Layout: Insuring ease of use, attention to the placement of multi-media equipment, instructor lectern and participant desks.
• Touch Screen Layout: Ensuring that course or meeting runs the technology and not vice-versa. Special emphasis on ergonomics.

Instructional Systems Design Support:
We rely on the proven ISD process, which includes:

• Analysis
• Design

Print-Based Learning:
Effective technical communication, which includes manuals, user guides and online Help Systems, gives a company or organization a competitive edge by enabling the staff to make the most of their equipment. Well-written documents, training programs or systems aid in:

• Solving conflicts and problems before they occur
• Streamlining procedures
• Improving morale by giving employees the confidence they need to do their job
• Improving consistency and quality

Effective technical communication begins with a thorough knowledge of the audience and the products and procedures. DTS's customized training materials include instructor guides and user manuals. Our materials are designed to advance a transfer of knowledge, adding value to a company's investment in its employees.

Supplementary Instructional Materials:
These types of supplements include non-print based material such as:

• Training videos
• Visual Support (Graphic and Text slides, etc.)
• Pre and Post-tests

RoboHelp/Help Systems:
Typically used online, Help systems support desktop and Web-based applications. As part of the system, DTS may also include detailed printed documentation. Help Systems may be developed using RoboHelp, XML, or other development software.

Multimedia Presentation Design:
Utilizing Microsoft PowerPoint, Flash, and/or other software presentation products, DTS will develop:

• Corporate capabilities
• Web presentations
• Demo CDs
• Websites
• Kiosks

Video Production Services:
Video allows for the use of many techniques for communicating training information and messages—words, music, action, visuals, and sound. DTS provides complete video production services, from concept to final editing. We have a myriad of capabilities including course development experience covering scriptwriting and storyboarding, not only for various media (training video production, interactive video television, and satellite training), but also for technology-based programs (computer-based training, web-based training, e-learning). We use standard instructional design methodology with an emphasis on multi-cultural workforces and Section 508 or ADA compliance.

• Analyze organizational goals and learner needs
