UW-Stout: Good Training Opens the Door to Your Future

Subject: GreatSchools looking for elearning experts/ companies

Dear friends and colleagues,

Sorry for the impersonal group mailing…I’m hoping you’ll forgive me and help GreatSchools out with a new challenge.

As some of you know, we have embarked on a major new project to develop an online parent training service that helps parents guide their children to K-12 education success. Aimed at low- and middle-income parents and available in Spanish as well as English, this service aims to inspire and teach parents to do things like the following: communicate high expectations for their children’s learning; prioritize education highly in the household; coach their children to help them develop personal and academic qualities; advocate for their children’s interests at school; save for college; etc.

To help us develop this service, we are looking for people and companies that can help us produce powerful e-learning experiences for parents.

Specifically, we are looking for a person/company that has the following: experience with developing adult e-learning for a large-scale consumer audience; ability to develop highly interactive and engaging content; ability to break the learning experience into small chunks; ability to build in incentives and recognition that inspire participation. We don’t have the luxury of requiring parents to participate; we’ll have to draw them in and keep them engaged in this service, so we need a person/firm that understands how to do this.

Any leads would be much appreciated!

Bill
