Turning Technical Manuals into Service Training Content

Installation and service manuals contain the technical information technicians need to install, maintain, and repair products correctly. But documenting a procedure and ensuring that technicians can perform it consistently are not the same thing. When critical procedures are turned into task-based training, field teams can see how the work is done, practice key decisions, and […]

Rise 360 vs. Storyline 360: Which Tool Is Right for Your Training Content?

Manufacturers develop training content for many purposes, from introducing new products and onboarding service technicians to explaining maintenance procedures and supporting employees across global locations.

Applying the learning-design principles we observed at ATD26, manufacturers can take the most critical topics already sitting in their technical documentation and extend them into behavior-focused microlearning. This is the intersection Hansem Global is exploring: […]

Microlearning: Why Shorter Lessons Stick Better

When was the last time you watched a 30-minute corporate training video all the way through? Between meetings, on the way to a client visit, in the few minutes before lunch — a workday is sliced into 5-minute fragments. In this environment, a 30-minute training session is hard even to start. Microlearning has gained attention […]

Rise 360’s AI Assistant has made it faster than ever to produce corporate training content. Enter a course topic, tone, and target audience, and within minutes you have a lesson structure, body text, and quiz questions. For L&D teams under pressure to deliver, this is a welcome development.
