Bill Heacock, principle instructional designer for HPA, has spent over 25 years helping organizations all over the world develop learner-centered, instructionally sound training programs. He has also spent many years conducting an Instructional Design workshop, teaching a systematic course design process to other designers and subject-matter experts. Bill further designed a series of popular workshops including Computer-Based Training, Teaching Computer Systems and Software, Designing Graphic Presentations, Design Solutions for Self-Directed e-Learning, Developing Interactive Course Materials, Effective Presentations, Adult Learning Strategies, Performance-Based Course Design, and Technical Teaching Skills.

In addition to his own expertise, Bill can call upon the services of other experienced HPA designers to handle course design projects of virtually any size.

How we do it:

We use an efficient, performance-based, learner-centered instructional design process to ensure that any training program we develop is highly interactive and directly responsive to specific business needs.

Working with your subject-matter experts we can:

• Design a customized training program from scratch to your specifications. We can work with any training delivery method ranging from instructor-led to e-learning.
• Assist your own course designers when a project is either too big or a timeline too short to be completed without outside help.
• Train your course designers or subject-matter experts in proven course design methodologies.
• Review or evaluate existing training programs for conformance with "best practices" in instructional design.
• Review or evaluate existing training programs for possible conversion to alternative delivery methods or blended learning solutions.
