Knowbase Learning Services Group• The Knowbase Networks learning development group has delivered
customized interactive learning to more than 500,000 learners world- wide through a combination of our proprietary learning management system and our custom content development group.
• Our content creation team is comprised of individuals whose backgrounds include instructional design, curriculum development, organizational development, knowledge management, user-interface design, graphic design, technical/creative writing and the technical skills required to create the final learning experience.
• Our streamlined courseware development process ensures learning outcomes are aligned with organizational goals.
• The technology that we leverage enables the delivery of user-engaged learning to drive retention and comprehension of information.
• The content, itself, uses rich media, audio, video, animation, voice over and music (low-band versions are available for low-connectivity locations).
• Interactive exercises, quizzes and games and assessments to measure comprehension.
E-Learning Features• Instant access to information is one of the driving factors in today's economy. The key to
success is moving knowledge from the people who have it to the people who need it.

E-Learning Features:
Built for Learner EnvironmentsEach content module project is developed with your end users (and their hardware and software access) in mind. As such, Knowbase offers several module formats to accommodate learners with low-bandwidth processors and/or internet connections and those with high-bandwidth access.
•Low-bandwidth modules consist of individual presentation slides with still images accompanying on-screen text or a scrollable text area.
•Low-bandwidth modules may include low- or normal-quality voice over files, depending on end-user limitations.
•High-bandwidth modules can be highly interactive, highly animated movie-like presentations with background music, sound effects, voiceover and games; or, they can have moderate still image animations with moderate interactivity.
•Bookmarking functionality that will direct returning learners to the last slide viewed, can be programmed into either low- or high-bandwidth module formats.
•Standard module templates and fully customized user interfaces are available for either format.
Knowbase will work with you to determine the appropriate module format(s) needed for the learning population.
E-Learning Features:
Interactivity and Quizzing• Keep learners engaged by requiring active participation in learning.
• Reinforce key concepts by requiring periodic recall of information.
• Role-based scenarios help learners apply learning concepts to real-life situations.
E-Learning Features:
Compliance Tracking• Track completion of learning required by organizational or agency regulations.
• Digitally capture and track employee agreement with organizational or agency policies.
• Learning module functionality can be customized to meet compliance, such as disabling “Next” navigation to require learners to view all content.
