eLearning Courses

Native Intelligence offers something unique in the eLearning course market - courses that are entertaining, attention-getting, and that result in behavior changes.

Native Intelligence has delivered more than 1,000,000 seats of Web-based Training (WBT), including courses in Japanese, Italian, German, and Spanish.

Our courses are based on learning principles. The courses appeal to learners because they contain interesting and up-to-date material, including real-world stories, analogies, scenarios, and practical actions.

One of the principles we follow is that courses should start with a bang. We like to capture learner's attention at the start of a course by asking questions such as this one:

Text reads: "What would happen if someone changed your data?" then is altered to unreadable characters.

Paul O'Neil tells his writing students: "Always grab the reader by the throat in the first paragraph, sink your thumbs into his windpipe in the second, and hold him against the wall until the tag line." That's not bad advice (figuratively speaking) for online course authors as well.

What Types of Courses Do You Need?

Native Intelligence offers:

Orientation security awareness courses for end users
Refresher security awareness courses for end users
Basics and Literacy courses (more in-depth than standard awareness courses)
Role-based courses, e.g., for executives, managers, security officers, developers, administrators, information technology specialists, and others
Topic-focused courses on subjects that include protecting customer information, IT security concepts, personnel safety, classified data basics, federal purchase card programs, federal travel card programs, and telecommuting

Course Types

Customized courses - custom courses include your choice of up to 10 modules, new modules, a review of customized content with changes made, your logo, contact information, and policy or other links.
Branded courses - general courses, with your organization's name, logo, and contact information added to the login page, but no other customizations.

Hosting

Hosting refers to where the course resides. Many customers want the course to reside on their intranet or on a system their company uses to manage and track courses, called a Learning Management System (LMS²).

Other customers prefer for us to host the courses. This works well for clients with business partners, contractors, or others who need to take the course, but who do not have access to the client's intranet.

SCORM¹-compliant courses work with an LMS, which handles the tracking and reporting for the course.
