Can Genesis Education Consulting help us with employee onboarding and continuous professional development?

What are microlearnings and what are the benefits of using them for employee training?
Microlearning is a method of delivering learning content in short, focused bursts. These "nuggets" of information are typically less than 10 minutes long and often cover a single learning objective. It is designed for on-demand, just-in-time learning, making it highly effective for busy schedules and mobile consumption.
Can you help us convert our existing training materials into modern e-learning courses?
Yes, we specialize in modernizing legacy content. We can transform your outdated presentations, manuals, and classroom materials into engaging, interactive e-learning experiences that improve learner retention and accessibility.
How long do projects take to complete?
Genesis Education Consulting ensures that projects are completely promptly and with optimal quality. The time it takes to create learning content is highly dependent on its length and production quality. This includes scripting, storyboarding, production, and editing.
Video:
-Low Complexity (simple screen recordings, talking head videos): A senior instructional designer can create a 1-hour video in about 1 to 2 weeks. This involves (20 to 40 development hours per 1 finished hour of content).
-High Complexity (animations, graphics, multi-camera shoots): This can be a much more intensive process. A 1-hour video could take 4 to 8 weeks.
eLearning Module:
eLearning modules are often a single, self-contained unit of learning. The development time is influenced by the level of interactivity.
-Level 1 (Basic): This type of module is similar to a "glorified PowerPoint" with little to no interactivity—mostly text and graphics. A 1-hour module can be produced in about 1 to 2 weeks.
-Level 2 (Interactive): These modules include simple branching, quizzes, and user participation. A 1-hour module could take 4 to 5 weeks to complete.
-Level 3 (Advanced): This is highly interactive content with branching scenarios, simulations, and custom multimedia. A 1-hour module could take 12 weeks or more.
eLearning Courses and Curricula:
A full eLearning course is a collection of modules, while a full curriculum is a series of courses. Development time for these projects is extensive and requires significant project management.
-eLearning Course (e.g., a series of 4-6 modules): A course that is about 1 to 2 hours of finished content could take 3 to 4 months. This timeframe includes all phases of the instructional design process, from analysis and design to development and evaluation.
-Full Curriculum (e.g., a certification program or multi-course series): This is a long-term project that can take 6 months to over a year. This timeline accounts for developing multiple courses, coordinating with subject matter experts, and managing a complex project from start to finish.
