VonGeyer Consulting offers focused scripting services for any kind of training need. Our team can help you convert different kinds of content into detailed and effective scripts by planning and writing the content, interactions, and multimedia elements of an online or in-person course or program. We define the learning strategies, storyboard your content, interact with SMEs for their inputs, and deliver scripts that are in line with your content style guides and/or publishing guidelines.
In our experience, a good script has some common characteristics that help the learning to be delivered in the most accessible manner.
These three characteristics mark every script we create, ensuring a consistently effective learning experience.
We use different types of learning strategies for eLearning scripts according to the type of content.
Thought-provoking questions to activate pre-existing knowledge and help learners connect their existing knowledge and experiences with the new learning content.
Text-based presentation for facts and information that need to be assimilated and remembered to be followed correctly.
Custom-designed infographics to present interconnected content.
Audio narration for concepts and principles that need to be explained clearly, or when learners need to be convinced.
Animations to explain core concepts through a conversational approach.
Scenarios and case studies to connect the learning material with the learners’ real life experiences.
These and many more techniques are part of our mixed media approach. This approach to eLearning scripts make for an engaging and effective learning experience.
Assessments are a key part of any learning design strategy. Based on your need, our services begin with defining the overarching assessment strategy followed by creating flexible, large-volume question banks across formative and summative assessment and multiple user roles and learning paths.
We believe that questions are not just for interaction but that they must enable learners to progress from knowledge to comprehension to application.
We start by building context and understanding of topics quickly, and then script questions aligned with the learning objectives. We ensure learner engagement through effective use of question types. One of the challenges of good assessments is creating accurate options and plausible distractors, but it’s a challenge we have specific techniques to meet.
A well-scripted video can be one of the most effective learning tools. How do we ensure that our video and animation scripts are actually effective?
We have developed a process and trained our team to write high quality video scripts.
Every script needs one clear takeaway to be effective. There should be no confusion or ambiguity at the end about what the learners have received from the video.
We design and describe the journey we are taking the viewers on. We need a direction; a clear beginning, middle, and an end, so we don’t lose our viewers along the way.
Video scripts need to be conversational and relatable, similar to the way a real-life engaging conversationalist would talk.
Even in business or professional settings, it’s possible and even necessary to avoid flat or boring scripts to keep your learners engaged and interested.
While the possibilities of the choice of visual elements are vast, the key is choosing the type of visuals that work with your particular message.
Attention spans have shortened and today’s viewers are used to fast-paced and catchy videos. If we don’t keep up, we’ve lost their attention already.
VGC also designs and creates instructor-led sessions, webinars, and workshops by scripting the required material: presentations, instructor guides, workbooks, and job-aids.
We design instructor-led sessions so that they are engaging and interactive when facilitated by your instructors within the classroom environment. We engage with your SMEs to define the expected learning outcomes, understand the content, and then design the program so that it provides the facilitators with all the necessary support they would need to engage their audience.
