Immersion Learning
"Building Expertise with a Focus on Business
Results"
Deep Creek Center’s innovative immersion
learning methodology focuses on improving a learner’s ability
to succeed at business tasks rather than memorizing facts. Students
of a new topic go through three phases:
- Knowledge – The student
learns facts and figures related to the topic at hand without
necessarily applying this information to particular skillsets.
Training that focuses solely on the capabilities and features
of a product stops at this level of learning.
- Skills – The
learner now can take the knowledge they have gained and apply
it to specific situations. The goal of well-designed labs is to
allow the student to apply their knowledge to practical situations
that might come up in their work environment.
- Expertise – The
student has mastered the new skillset and knows not only facts
and specific skills but how and when to apply them to situations
as they come up on the job.
Deep Creek Center training methodology avoids
knowledge-only training and aims to give students skills and steps
toward expertise in the subject. We do this through the use of
- Expert instructors
– Our instructors are world-class experts in their field
with years of industry experience to go beyond the course materials
and answer specific questions.
- Informative courseware
– We design our courseware as a useful reference book rather
than a reproduction of classroom slides. Students can use the
course manual to remind them of skills learned during the course.
- Interactive labs –
We avoid cookie-cutter labs that walk a student through a skill
step by step in favor of job tasks the students might see using
the product. If the learner has to think about the way to solve
a problem, he or she is much more likely to remember the appropriate
skill.
Most IT learners require a combination of the
right content, delivery, and support tools to help them learn, while
eliminating gaps in their understanding. Immersion Learning takes
into account the organization's business requirements to develop
a tailored learning program that precisely meets the needs of their
development teams. The courses' modular design allows the organization
to adjust the pace and focus of learning and modify course components
to comfort level and learning modality preferences.
