iCortex sounds perfect for our instructional needs but does our location matter?

Not at all.  The nature of our work allows us to save you time, money, and resources because the bulk of the work is done remotely from our office.  However, if you desire a face-to-face meeting, we are available to travel anywhere in the world.


How do I know what learning solution is best?

We've got you covered! Consulting is only the first step in helping to create the most effective and efficient learning experience for you and your learners.


Why is eLearning so popular? I'd rather have root-canal than sit through one.

Let's be honest, eLearning can have a bad reputation because there are so many terrible ones out there. Oh boy! Trust me, we've seen 'em! Take a text-filled powerpoint, stir in lots of bullet points, set it to automate, and voila -- a modern day torture device that has you practically begging for a fork to the forehead!

Learners don't "sit through" eLearning designed by iCortex. They are engaged and interacting and are learning through DOING.

Facts are, eLearning (done well) is:

  • Consistent in content material and delivery
  • Repeatable if desired or needed
  • A way for learners to safely learn from mistakes through scenarios and simulations!!!
  • Highly effective
  • Reaches large audiences with almost no ongoing expense
  • Available 24/7/365 on all devices (including mobile)

iCortex designs eLearning modules that are filled with amazing images and activities. We've been told they're "surprisingly edu-taining" (educational+entertaining).


Why should I consider a vILT?

Virtual Instructor-Led Teaching courses are:

  • Inexpensive (no facilities, few instructors, no materials)
  • Time saving! Reach people all over the world without interruption of work/life.
  • Learning can happen in environment where skills are practiced
  • Real time learner interaction (comments, questions, building on others' participation)
  • If content changes, instructor can report it immediately.
  • Reaches large audience with almost no ongoing expense.
  • iCortex designs vILT's to keep learners constantly engaged.

How can something as simple as a job aide be my best solution?

  • Reminds user of previous instruction, or it can stand on its own.
  • Documents can be published to a website, SharePoint, or printed.
  • On-demand &/or just-in-time accessible
  • Consistent material
  • Repeatable if desired or needed
  • Editable if changes to instruction or steps.

What-the-flip is a flipped classroom?

When the didactic material is presented prior to the lesson, thus leaving time for application during actual lesson time. For example: Learners participate in an eLearning, then meet together a week later to physically practice the activity.


I'm used to gathering people in a classroom or lecture hall, then just lecturing to them. Does that have any value?

Sure, if done well! iCortex can help make it more memorable! Advantages of a classroom or lecture:

  • Physical teamwork activities (classroom) are possible
  • Visual contact / body language / physical togetherness
  • Social pressure to stay on task
  • If content changes, speaker can report it immediately

What is blended learning?

It is a combination of many different learning solutions. "Blended Learning" is the instructional equivalent of a lovely four-course meal. These can be delivered as a learning path, where the plan and order is structured, or a la carte where learners can choose their educational medium.

iCortex can analyze, design, and develop one lesson or an entire curriculum. Contact us to chat about the various methods, mediums, choices, and options.
