In this time of reduced training department headcount and constrained development budgets, organizations are relying increasingly on Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) and non-professional trainers to shoulder the burden of designing and developing training.  However, there is a tangible cost to poorly designed training in terms of wasted SME and participant time and a corresponding impact on opportunity cost.  Subpar training means desired results will take much longer to achieve, or may never be achieved; in some cases, poorly designed training can cause adverse results and be less effective than if no training had been offered.

To address this need, TrainingToolSite.com provides a comprehensive combination of services and technology aimed at enabling SMEs and non-training professionals to develop instructionally effective and cost-efficient web-based training.  The TTS three-part solution includes:  Atlantic Link, Kaplan Learning Technologies' state-of-the-art, easy-to-use, web-based training authoring platform;  JumpStartEnablement™, a quick and efficient content creation ramp-up process; and project support from experienced instructional design professionals.

"Atlantic Link offers TTS clients a secure, collaborative authoring environment with the ability to provide pre-designed screen templates and course flows.  In addition, Atlantic Link provides free, non-licensed access for course reviewers and a sophisticated workflow engine which enables our clients to monitor revisions and assign development tasks to various contributors and reviewers.  We have found no other technology solution that offers the combination of ease-of-use, flexibility and sophistication," states TTS Managing Director Ken Joseph of the partnership with Atlantic Link.

TheTrainingToolSite.com expertise, powered by Kaplan's Atlantic Link suite allows customers to take control of their training content and development costs by leveraging SMEs and training department employees – all while maintaining a high standard of quality.
