Do you want training that is engaging, convenient, and affordable?
To maximize the effectiveness of online training, you need more than simple text being read to the user, with a few static pictures. Our modules are developed in a collaborative process between professional instructional designers, subject matter experts, and talented multimedia artists. The result is a library of courses that is truly best-in-class!

The best practice for retention is the use of visual images and limited text -- complementary to the script -- to form memory tags in the learner's mind, and highlight areas to which they need to pay attention.
|
Not Just Read-Back |
- Studies show that reading back text from the screen is sometimes more distracting than no audio at all.
- People generally don’t read at the same rate that they process audio information.
- Only key points and pictures are presented on the screen, timed precisely to the audio narration.
|
- No new information appears without corresponding audio.
- Upstairs Solutions training isn't just reading or hearing a manual/training guide.
- The right amount of animation is used, helping the learner visualize the material, and maintain interest.

If a learner thinks that you don’t understand their world, they will tune out. If we talk about restraint reduction but don’t talk about family resistance to their removal, the response of a CNA would be “you don’t get why I can’t do it this way.”
|
Real Life Case Scenarios |
- Upstairs Solutions gives “real-world” examples.
- We show real pictures of our subject matter, photographed in senior care facilities.
- In the cases where we can’t show a real person (for example, catheter care), we have created extensive original illustrations.
|
- Giving instructions without examples and visuals limits retention.
- The content from our modules is taken not only from scholarly and government sources but also from real senior care workers -- people who are “in the trenches” and know the learners’ world.

If an administrator (or surveyor) wants staff to get trained on a specific topic, how else can you ensure they have actually completed the entire module without just skipping through to the end?
|
Not Just a Click Thru |
- We have customized programing so that our screens will not advance until they have been presented in their entirety.
- Learners may still reverse and review anything they’ve seen, and advance back to the last screen viewed.
|
- Learners have to click a button, answer a question, or play a review game every few minutes -- they cannot walk away and let the course complete.
- If a learner has to leave in the middle of a sesion, our bookmarking feature allows them to pick up where they left off.
