LearnX Asia Pacific 2007
The LearnX conference show-cased the best the Asia Pacific learning market has to offer. Evolve Studios was invited to present our innovative design strategy for Blended Learning. Our approach provides a very clear understanding of how instructional method and delivery media can provide a truly unique learning experience. The concept asks the question “Are we, as learning developers, Evolving or just Revolving”?

Customs National Recruit Training
Evolve’s specialist learning analysts have been working with Customs National HRD to redevelop Recruit training. This project will deliver a national training program that uses the latest in learning strategies and media applications. The final learning package will include a learner manuals, facilitator guides, media applications, assessment program and OJT task book.

IAG eDesign Program
To support IAGs in-house eLearning capability, Evolve was asked to deliver a specialist eDesign program. It was not just about learning design but covered media elements such as graphic design, interaction design and media selection models. The highly immersive program provided the SKA needed for effectual eDesign. The program was considered so successful that it will be rolled out to internal and external designers.

DIAC Level 4 Evaluation
Kirkpatrick’s Level 4 evaluation is a difficult task and therefore rarely attempted. However with the introduction of the redeveloped Compliance training, it was considered essential to have an independent Level 4 evaluation to determine the impact of the learning intervention on organisational performance. Evolve’s evaluation specialists were selected to conduct the evaluation as well as deliver the ‘Effective Evaluation’ learning program to the DIAC in-house Evaluation Section.

Vodafone Blended Learning
Vodafone has invested in the development of an eLearning program to support the roll out of their new customer management system. After careful analysis it was decided that the best method of delivery was via a blended environment where the online program is supported by facilitators. To support the development of the blended learning strategy, Evolve delivered a series of Blended Design workshops to Vodafone’s Australian and New Zealand staff. This specialist program assists facilitators to create the perfect sequence of blended learning activities.

Toshiba Sales Management System
The ReRite rollout continues with the launching of Phase 3 of the sales management system. This browser based system allows managers and sales staff, at all levels, to track real time sales achievements against the yearly budget. Detailed analysis of sales targets against performance provides Toshiba managers a continuous update of sales trends at national and regional levels. As well, the sales staff continue to be supported with marketing tools including promotional 3D animations, video productions and specialist sales training.

Mathemax Branding & Marketing Collateral
Mathemax are a reseller of the K-12 maths training product - the Mathemagic Computer Tutor. The branding and marketing collateral developed by Evolve created a sense of company culture and community within the growing organisation. The external collateral has created an inspiring eye-catching display that can be seen in shopping centres throughout NSW. Collateral included shopping centre banners, brochures, product branding, certificates, forms and ID tags.

Robb Reiner selected to present at the 17th Biennial ODLAA Conference.
The issue of media selection is a topic that has been of particular interest for learning professionals for the last few decades. With the increase of eLearning many traditional learning media is being replaced. Robb re-visits the research behind such a move and suggests that learning design is revolving rather than evolving.
