Our team can help you create experiences, visuals, and interactions that have an emotional impact for deeper learning. We failure-proof your results by leveraging feedback from the learners themselves at all stages of the process.

Strategic Curriculum Development​

Whether we develop your curriculum from the ground up, or hone what you already have, we’ll ensure that the content and format of your training is best suited to reach your most important business goals.

Professional Design to Match Your Brand​

You need your training to not only represent you well in terms of content but also design. We are here to provide expert design touches that are aligned for your brand and company culture.

Frequently Asked Questions

We work with you to strategically apply your team’s time. The amount of time required varies depending on the project; however we love helping you achieve better results faster and more easily. We also believe in setting clear and reasonable expectations, defining up front the amount of involvement from your team to ensure they know and can plan accordingly.

The Persimmon Group team can do either. We can work directly with your SMEs gathering their knowledge to build new training from the ground-up or we can leverage content you already have collected to begin the design process.

 

From our nearly twenty years of designing learning, depending on the topic, we often have content available that can be utilized to jumpstart the development of your learning content.

The investment depends on a variety of factors, including the nature of the project(s), scope and estimated time involved. For a custom quote, book a complimentary discovery call with one of our experts.

 

Absolutely! We provide you with the final learning deliverable as well as the original design files so you can make future updates as you see fit.

We utilize multiple tools to meet various project design needs, but with its robust authoring capabilities, Articulate Storyline is our go-to authoring tool for developing self-paced eLearning courses. If you need content developed with a specific tool, just let our team know when you reach out.

 

The final training content can be provided in multiple formats to meet your specific needs. Instructor-Led Training materials are typically delivered in Microsoft Office formats, with videos output in the format best suited for their hosting platform. Self-paced eLearning is typically delivered in SCORM-compliant formats along with the original design files should you want to make any future updates on your own.

 

Yes! Our eLearning modules are provided in industry standard SCORM-compliant format. Additionally, through the initial discovery process, we gather information from you on your learning environment and LMS platform requirements to ensure the final outputs are in the formats needed for your system.

 

Not to worry! While self-paced, interactive eLearning modules do necessitate an LMS, we have multiple options for developing and providing you with learning content that does not require an LMS for deployment.

 

If video is part of your learning solution, we have trusted partners who specialize in dynamic videography, to film new video and/or incorporate video content you have filmed already.
