Instructional Design
Companies need to make the most of what they have, and effective training
and reference material allows people to save time and work smarter. At
WASSER, one of our specialties is training development—from individual
tutorials to enterprise-wide rollouts. We focus our instructional-design
services on the unique challenges of training that are pivotal to the
success of implementing new technologies, products, and services. Our
information designers will work with you to create a comprehensive
information architecture that is closely tailored to your target audience
and the information that you want to convey. We understand that the goal of
information design is to transform data into knowledge. We also understand
the paramount importance of the quality of the user experience. Our goals
are clarity and simplicity.
Needs Assessment
WASSER can help you define your documentation strategy. This includes
creating document requirements and publications sets, reducing unnecessary
rewriting, increasing efficient use of content, and enhancing the overall
user experience. Our skilled instructional designers and information
designers can analyze your content and the learning environment, and then
develop a plan to capture metrics and make targeted recommendations, based
on your business and learning objectives. You‘ll get a detailed
understanding of where to focus your investments in training and
documentation for maximum benefit.
Information Architecture
Clarity and simplicity in developing content can reap great rewards
through enhancement of the user experience, clarification of company
messaging, and reduction of your overall investment by minimizing false
starts and rework. WASSER professionals use learning theory and
information-mapping techniques to analyze, organize, and design documents
that clearly present content and improve learning.
Single-Sourcing
By modularizing documentation or creating multiple outputs from a single
source document, single-sourcing dovetails perfectly with content
management, localization strategies, and cost-reduction initiatives. WASSER
can help you set expectations within your organization and achieve maximum
document-reuse potential through careful up-front planning.
