It’s Not Just What You Say,
It’s How You Say It

Alchemy Studios’ adult-learning specialists live and breathe course construction. We continuously study and incorporate best practices from learning and cognition sciences into every course interaction. These elements of training pedagogy and course construction are just as important as the content itself to ensure the training is understood and correctly applied by learners. Hallmarks of our course construction include:

  • Micro-learning bursts — each course is broken down into individual concepts with short durations that are strategically stitched together.
  • “Active learning” principles requiring learner participation at frequent intervals.
  • Narrative storytelling based on real-world situations learners will encounter, to better connect the content to their experiences.
  • Scenario-based questions asking learners “what would you do” in this situation.
  • Adherence to effective image-to-word-count ratios for greater comprehension.
  • Repetition and reinforcement strategies on key concepts to ensure learners retain the knowledge.
  • Interactive gamification to keep learners engaged.
An excellent experience overall — from customer support, to project management and project execution.
