The Sunset Learning Advantage

We work with the client’s subject matter experts (SMEs) and representatives of the target audience to define overall course goals, learning objectives, learning activities and assessment strategies on training for business development. The deliverable is most commonly a High-level Design Document or a detailed course outline. Services include these components:

  • Identify the overall course goals, course length, and prerequisite knowledge and experience
  • Develop learning objectives and expected outcomes
  • Create a detailed content outline
  • Apply instructional methodology to identify exercises and labs
  • Determine the delivery requirements and instructor requirements
  • Specify required support materials and equipment topologies
  • Identify learning assessment strategy

Another development tool we provide is content creation from an approved Design Document or a detailed course outline to create PPT graphics and associated facilitation/student notes. Deliverables are most commonly in classroom-ready PPT or DOC formats. Services include:

  • Create graphics using company standard templates and icons
  • Add facilitation notes with points of emphasis
  • Develop instructor guides with transitions
  • Create summary statements and review questions

We work from an approved Design Document or a detailed course outline to create task-oriented lab activities that address specific learning objectives in training for business development. Deliverables for this development tool are most commonly in DOC format with embedded screen captures and in-line questioning to verify understanding.

We perform pre- and post-content development tasks associated with the creation of an overall learning product as part of our development tools. This activity encompasses all aspects of the “production process” with deliverables being available in PPT, DOC, PDF, HTML and video formats.
