When learning solutions are to be delivered to large audiences, WBT and CBT can be cost-effective alternatives to instructor-led classroom sessions. The approach can vary based on learner needs, timing, budget considerations and other factors driven by your particular situation.

Little Planet can develop custom solutions to help your organization meet strategic business goals, change corporate culture or orient new hires, for example.

We offer a range of presentation styles, from a media-rich cinematic approach to a rapidly developed and deployed product more closely resembling a typical Web site. Any solution we create for you will be well-organized and easy to navigate and will directly address your specific learning needs.

Sometimes, learning requirements demand classroom or on-site delivery. We can work with your trainers, subject matter experts and stakeholders to define the content, design and produce the classroom materials and deliver the solution using our own people or yours.

Classroom instruction and electronically delivered content are not necessarily mutually exclusive. Sometimes a blended solution is called for. WBT and CBT elements can be used as prerequisites for classroom sessions. They can also be used in the classroom to deliver both core and ancillary material, and they can be used post-classroom as performance-support solutions.

You might be surprised at how effective computer simulation can be to teach software expertise and other process-oriented tasks. Little Planet can develop realistic, effective simulations that demonstrate such processes, allow learners to try the tasks themselves, and then test their ability to perform those tasks unaided.

We work with you to develop assessments that will allow you to determine, capture and track completion, effectiveness and retention of your learning solution. Pre-assessments can be used to establish a baseline of pre-learning proficiency, followed by post-assessments that determine learners' progress. Periodic re-testing can measure retention. All of this information can be tracked and documented in your learning management system (LMS) or ours.

Each customer's situation is unique. At Little Planet, we believe the answers to your learning challenges already exist within your organization. Our role is to work with you to crystallize your vision of the future to make sure it unfolds according to your objectives.

The first step is listening. Once we understand your challenges, we can share our expertise in an array of disciplines to help you establish your roadmap to the future you envision. The range of consulting services we provide includes:

• curriculum planning (developing architecture that includes current and new content aligned with learning objectives)
• development supervision (management of outsourced development)
• implementation (delivery assistance/train-the-trainer)
• outcome evaluation (behavioral change measurement following learning event)
• knowledge assessment (downrange behavioral change measurement).
