BernzOmatic
Without an Edge
BernzOmatic understood that traditional training methods were expensive and less effective than an eLearning solution. BernzOmatic has a product line with multiple innovative features and a magnitude of benefits. Traditional training methods were not harvesting high enough retention rates among their employees.
An Added Edge
Hardly Square designed an interactive eLearning course centered around a drag-and-drop, hands on scenerio. BernzOmatic now benefits from heightened retention rates, which lead to greater business results, and ultimately a larger market share. Hardly Square didn’t merely design an eLearning course. We designed an eLearning experience.
IRWIN
Without an Edge
IRWIN wanted a self assessment eLearning solution for their employees. They needed the quiz to encompass multiple categories of product knowledge, collect learner specific information, and promote the next stages of the learning process.
An Added Edge
Hardly Square created IRWIN IQ. IRWIN IQ is an eLearning web application that gives IRWIN’s employees the opportunity to assess their IRWIN IQ across multiple levels of product knowledge. The eLearning solution not only quizzes the learner, but also promotes traditional classroom training within video throughout the quiz. At the end of the quiz learners can see what questions they got wrong, what the right answers were, print their certificate, and get recommendations for the next level of their training. The training manager can also download all the learner specific results directly to a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet.
Without an Edge
IRWIN Industrial Tools understood that traditional training methods were expensive and less effective than an eLearning solution. IRWIN faced an enormous hurdle keeping their employees well educated and up-to-date on their substantial product line. It was a daunting task considering their employees are dispersed across the globe. They needed a solution and fast.
An Added Edge
Hardly Square created LearnIrwin.com, a zero cost per learner eLearning platform that extensively lowers training expenditures. IRWIN now benefits from heightened retention rates, which lead to greater business results, and ultimately a larger market share. IRWIN has gained an edge on their competition with training that features custom designed Flash courses with voice narration, custom application photography, specific learner profiles, an administrator dashboard, and result tracking that can easily be exported to Microsoft Excel.
Rubbermaid (RCP)
Without an Edge
Rubbermaid Commercial Products had excessive expenses in regards to training employees, distributors and end users. Airline tickets, car rentals, and hotels room expenses were piling up. Not to mention they were taking their employees off the job to train them through traditional means. RCP knew they did NOT want to use an LMS and pay per user, but what was the solution?
An Added Edge
Hardly Square created RCP University, a zero cost per learner eLearning platform that extensively lowers training expenditures. RCP now benefits from heightened retention rates due to a complete digital training solution. RCP University features custom designed Flash driven eLearning courses with voice narration, custom application photography, an administrator dashboard, and result tracking that can easily be exported to Microsoft Excel.
Pelouze
Without an Edge
Pelouze’s training needed to be more engaging. Retention rates weren’t as high as they would have liked. Their current training didn’t have much imagery and was text heavy. The traditional training solution was expensive and Pelouze knew their was an opportunity to cut costs, but how?
An Added Edge
After carefully storyboarding what imagery would properly showcase the utility of their product line, Hardly Square did an on-location photography shoot in North Carolina. With instructional design, application (“in-use”) photography is very instrumental in visually narrating how to properly use a product. Hardly Square captured learner-centric application photography allowing the learner to imagine themselves within the situation, leading to a much more effective training solution.
Technical Concepts
Without an Edge
Technical Concepts’s product line has multiple innovative features and a magnitude of benefits. They needed a training solution that matched the innovation of their products. Technical Concepts wanted to engage the distributors, employees, and end users that were learning about their products.
An Added Edge
Hardly Square designd an eLearning solution that featured high-stimulus, custom designed interactive Flash media. The computer-based training courses are learner-centered and performance-based, which lead to higher retention rates and motivated users to learn more.
