What do you mean by knowledge products and blended learning?

ExpressTrain generates knowledge products, which are training, performance support, documentation and reports, and verification materials. They are content-based documents and outputs that can come in a variety of formats, and are used to “share the wealth” of information that’s so vital to ensuring consistency throughout a company’s many moving parts.

Blended learning describes those knowledge products that are more interactive in nature, such as web-based learning and quizzes.

More specifically, ExpressTrain addresses:

• Training
• Performance Support, including job aides, quick references cards, and checklists
• Documents and Reports, including user guides, leader/participant guides, SOPs, and work instructions
• Verification, including online quizzes, quality control checklists, and task qualifications.
• Blended Learning, including PowerPoint presentation and web-based trainings.
