DynaMind eLearning focuses on supporting the not-for-profit sector with their e-learning programmes.
We assist with formulating e-learning strategies, hosting of e-learning platforms, design and development of individual training (e.g. Articulate) and eWorkshops (Moodle), and training of e-facilitators and community moderators.
Whether you’re looking for individual, collaborative or a blend of both, our mission is to make sure your online training is smart, enjoyable and focused on DOING.
Our Articulate developments are developed around real-life mini-scenarios where learners are continuously engaged in workplace simulations and decision-making.
Our award-winning eWorkshop model (Moodle) is really popular with organisations that are proud of their participatory approaches and don’t want to lose the magic when moving their training online. Our e-workshops have an average completion rate of 80%. We develop eWorkshops for you or we can train you to do it yourself. Our 5-week online e-facilitation training to prepare the eWorkshop facilitators has been receiving rave reviews for many years.
CONSULTANCY
E-learning comes in many forms and formats – each with its pros and cons, which are often different to the pros and cons in the corporate and educational sectors and in the first world, emerging economies or developing countries. Our strength is that we share these perspectives with our clients and help them think through a whole lot of considerations that might otherwise be overlooked, including what works across different cultures and under challenging tech conditions.
eWORKSHOP DESIGN
If your online learning needs to be participatory and the voice of the learner is as important as yours, then we suggest you look into our award-winning eWorkshop model. With completion rates of 80% or more and fantastic learner feedback, this is a great addition to any e-learning program and often a stepping stone towards a thriving practitioner’s community. We develop them for you or we show you how it’s done.
SELF-PACED e-LEARNING
Do you need compliance training and/or awareness raising modules which people can do individually? Then we can help you with the development of self-paced e-learning modules in Articulate 360, or any other software you prefer. No more ‘click next’ through information dumps – instead, we develop scenario-based designs that make sure learners are continuously challenged to make real-life decisions.
TRAINING & OTHER SERVICES
Join the next e-facilitation workshop to learn how to facilitate collaborative learning online – as well as get a good feel of how eWorkshops work. You can then follow up with our eWorkshop design course to learn how to build them yourself. Apart from our training, other services include the development of offline learning materials.
MOODLE HOSTING
We use Moodle for the development of eWorkshops because its linearity is ideal for reflecting a ‘learning journey’ in the simplest way. It’s also a great software for training programs that are run on a tight budget and for those who need to reach learners in places with unreliable internet – so, it is still the best choice for the development sector. We can help by setting up the platform, facilitating the hosting and looking after all the tech stuff.
eWORKSHOP CENTRE
Some organisations and consultants have a very small e-learning programme. It might not be worth investing in your own e-learning platform. We can provide you with your own individual space for your eWorkshop or e-learning modules in the eWorkshop Centre, which is a separate Moodle instance for NGOs which don’t have their own – similar to hiring a training room in a training organisation.
