The Challenge<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Enterprise Knowledge (EK) worked with a federal agency tasked with preserving our nation\u2019s natural and cultural resources to transform instructional programs and maximize their accessibility and effectiveness. Traditionally, training at this agency is held in-person in a classroom. However, due to the pandemic some of these fundamental courses were paused indefinitely. While the in-person classroom has its benefits, it can be costly and requires students and instructors to travel to a location making several foundational offerings limited to just several times a year and only to a select group of students. The resource preservation agency approached EK to re-evaluate some of these in-person classes to better fit the needs of their learners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

EK consultants worked with the agency to evaluate the current state of the courses that were needing to be refreshed. The evaluation consisted of data collection in the form of interviews, focus groups, and surveys to gather information about course content, educational and logistical soundness, and the agency\u2019s learning ecosystem. The result was not just a refreshment of the content of these courses, but a total course transformation that would benefit all agency employees.  <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The Solution<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

EK collaborated with agency staff to re-design and transform these formerly in-person courses into fully virtual and\/or blended offerings so they could be available to students at the point of need. The updated format leverages a series of asynchronous activities that allow students to learn at their own pace and practice the foundational skills they have learned on their own before synthesizing their learning in a virtual class or in-person application. Activities included:
