the paddle method

Who doesn’t love a good acronym? We sure do, that’s why we came up with our method, PADDLE. Plan, Assemble, Design, Develop, Launch and Evaluate don’t just (coincidently) form a cute acronym, they are the tried-and-true steps we follow to create an eLearning solution tailored to your exact needs.  

You don’t want to be up any eLearning creek without a PADDLE.

Plan

KILO helps you figure out what your training goals and requirements are. 

Whether this is you:

  • Help! I don’t know where to start. I’m not sure who needs training, and I don’t know how to make a training plan!

Or, maybe this is you, where you know what direction you are headed and just need KILO’s help to finesse your plan:

  • I want to develop a course on how to use a <insert tool/concept/software here> because according to Human Resources, people are not sufficiently skilled in this area.

  • I want to convert classroom courses to mobile eLearning.

Wherever you are in the planning process, KILO can help you map your goals.

Assemble Content

KILO helps you figure out what you want to teach people. 

Content can be ready in a variety of different formats. No matter where you are with your content, KILO can take it and bring it to the next level. We can work with any of these starting points:

  • I know what I want to train, but I need someone to research the topic and write the content

  • I have some content, but it’s just a bunch of PowerPoint slides and notes

  • This used to be a classroom course, but I want to put it online

  • I have all the content ready to go and I just need someone to put this in an eLearning format

Design

KILO gives your content the look (and feel).

This is where we take that content and make it shine! We use a variety of tools to make an outline of how your course will look when it’s up and running. This is also where we take things into consideration like developing for mobile, having animated interactions, and incorporating explainer videos. KILO works with you to figure out what YOU want your content to look like.

Develop

This is where we take that design and bring it to life!

This is all the techie stuff that you don’t have to worry about. We take the agreed-upon design and transform it into an online dynamic eLearning module. Of course, we work with you along the way to make sure you are happy with how it’s developing.

Launch

KILO makes your courses accessible to participants.

You may know where you want your course to sit (I have an LMS (learning management system)), or you might not (I have no idea where to house my completed learning content). KILO can help you decide where your audience should access the course. KILO also can provide LMS solutions for you if you do not have one in place.

Evaluate

KILO helps you to figure out how effective the training was.

Did the learning work? Did we achieve what we wanted to do? Can my team do the work that we trained them to do? Did it change the world? Well, we may not be able to answer that last question - we can certainly set up surveys and questionnaires to determine the impact your training. This in turn will better let you PLAN (oh, see the top page) your next projects.
