REALITY LEARNING: COMMUNICATION & TRAINING WEBSITES: ONLINE COUNSELLING

Fun, Engaging, Culturally Appropriate Learning

Delivered on CDROM/DVD/web/mobile.

Participants want to join in. ODT and "Reality Learning" are not just a respected brand names but also training processes that participants enjoy.

Fictional characters are created for highly interactive, implicit learning. Their stories are based on real life situations, and include real-time access to professional support, resources and links. Learning occurs through sharing and communicating with characters via technology (options include email, web cam, video conferencing, audio & video streaming). Learning is achieved as participants assist the characters with real-life solutions, creating the virtual story in real time.

As participants are often faced with a lack of time and a diversity of needs and conditions, ODT is tailored for end users and their cultural background. Delivery of training is flexible, compatible with everyday commitments. Implemented locally into existing resources, this training can be adapted for short or long term projects.
