Why Online Learning with Balance Learning?

Because our courses are engaging.

Engage in ELearning from Balance Learning logo Because we design around a set of core beliefs: to be effective, learning must engage, creatively building on best practice principles; to provide value, learning should make a practical difference to individual and organisational performance; and learning should send a positive message of diversity, integrity and character.

People want to CONTROL their learning (not the other way around)	Colour coded status buttons, section times, individual page access
Whatever the medium, our products combine a simple, uncomplicated interface with clear signposting and features that make navigation instinctive, helping learners choose their own path so learning is just in time and just enough.

Specialist input, experience and current business thinking	People want CONFIDENCE in the learning (through quality of content and delivery)
	We create courses with specialist practitioners and customer partners based on experience, real situations and current business thinking. Visuals don’t just decorate, they illustrate to help understanding. Interactions aren’t page turners, they engage, provide insight and opportunity to practice.

People want PRACTICAL HELP (not just academic theories)	Models that work in practice.
We apply a simple test to every element of a course. We ask “So what?” What will learners be able to actually do as a result of this information, interaction or exercise? The result is that learners are equipped with immediate and practical tips, tools and techniques.

People want to use it (not lose it!)

Did you know that you retain just a third of what you learned 48 hours after a classroom event if you don’t apply it actively? Our interactive workbooks complement our courses in two ways: they provide a useful reference and reminder of the content and they offer take-away resources -- checklists, action planning templates and performance support aids -- that really help students set what they’ve learned in context and transfer their new skills, knowledge and ideas into practice. We believe that the more closely the learning experience is focused on and aligned to the work to be done, the more effective the training will be.

	People learn faster and retain more when they’re engaged and having fun
	Our blend of interactivity, humour, and media takes the effort out of learning and creates engagement. Techniques like guided discovery and simulation challenge learners improving their confidence to use new skills at work. Powerful images, mnemonics and the occasional zany situation help people remember more for longer.
