Vado is now part of HSI!Vado is an off the shelf e-learning provider with course ware in employee business skills, management/leadership development and compliance. Vado's courses are designed utilizing three design principles:1. 70:20:10: Vado is the only off the shelf e-learning courseware provider that helps the learner apply the course on the job. You are probably familiar with the research that shows:  70% of development happens on the job by doing and practicing  20% of development happens through mentoring and coaching  10% through formal training which includes instructor led workshops and e-learning coursesThis research is intuitive as we all grew up with teachers, parents and coaches telling us to practice our spelling words, practice taking the shot, or practice our piano. They did this because they know that people only become great soccer players or great piano players by practicing and practicing. That is why all Vado courses are designed to help the learner apply the course on the job with every course containing an exercise. The exercises are very detailed with step-by-step instructions - a process to follow while implementing the course on the job. In addition, each course contains a Job Aid.The value of Vado's courses is the on-the-job exercise. Vado's unique design makes Vado's courses more efficient, effective and powerful than traditional eLearning solutions. 2. Micro-learning: Breaking down information in short, bite sized modules makes it easier for the learner to retain the information. All Vado courses are short, bite sized courses covering one distinct learning objective at a time. The average seat time of a Vado course is about 5 minutes. 3. Videos: People in their personal life watch videos to learn new things and they come to work expecting to watch videos to learn new things. So, all of Vado's courses start with a short instructional video.
