e-Learning

e-Learning is an essential interactive tool in the fast-moving, time- and money-conscious healthcare industry. Computer-based learning is effective and enjoyable blend of training experiences that can economically enhance both distance and classroom-based learning without compromising your budgets. However, a computer-based format alone is insufficient to develop appropriate skills and behaviours – expertly designed programmes tailored to a company’s needs are vital to accelerate knowledge-based training objectives and introduce essential skills. The use of interactive multimedia e-learning can turn the educational process into a stimulating and inspiring experience and offers many possible benefits:

Interactive Captivates the learner Maximises retention and recall of information Intuitively structured Bespoke versions possible Accessible Time efficient Cost effective Locally adaptable Easily updated Variable levels of complexity Often reduces learning times Allows performance tracking/assessment

DPP-Cordell has had many years of experience of e-learning and, with the help of its sister company Merula Ltd, is able to offer user-friendly, intuitive computer-based programmes and learning materials and use advancing technology to achieve learning objectives. Most recently, DPP-Cordell has begun creating online integrated training and marketing resource libraries into which whole training and marketing packages may be incorporated. These sites can have many features, depending on requirements:

• Secure log-in for all users and user recognition
• Easy and rapid worldwide access and fast download
• Storage of all training and marketing materials, whether in an interactive format or as pdfs, Word files, etc.
• Quick update of all materials, at minimal cost
• Availability of additional support materials (e.g. animation/high-definition image banks, slide presentations, congress information, guides on preparation for training, course planning, presentation techniques, hints and evaluation methods, field action plans, etc.) that only trainers can access
• An integrated question programme is also available, to allow self-assessment by the representatives as well as exams to monitor progress through the learning curve and for use in company accreditation
• Multiple languages available, with the default language set specifically to each user
• Feedback facility to help improve the usability of the site
• Tracking ability to see whether which materials are being accessed and how often

We have also developed an animated, interactive sales scenario based upon objection handling, in which representatives will interact with a ‘real’ talking doctor.

This is an opportunity for you to be creative. Think of any area of communication in your business and we can make a difference. Do you feel that innovative, multi-media communication will help you to boost your business? If so, then please contact us.

Interactive Question Programme

We are currently developing a stand-alone question programme that will give you the ability to create assessments based on your training and marketing materials.

• Revision mode for self-testing
• Timed exam mode that will store users’ answers to each exam, anywhere in the world, and enable trainers to monitor the progress of their representatives.

This exciting and sophisticated tool will help to ensure that your representatives are getting the most out of your training and marketing materials and will be able to use the knowledge effectively during a sales call. Please contact us for further details.
