USAID
Client Goal
- USAID’s newly established Center for Resilience (C4R) needed a standardized voice to establish a common understanding of “resilience” for both USAID staff and their development partners.
Our Solution
- C4E crafted promotional and training materials, utilizing our creative and instructional design teams to develop the learning approach and write original video scripts. Animations brought to life the complex and emerging topics.
- Have a look at the Why Resilience? video for glimpse at our work.
American Council on Education (ACE)
Client Goal
- In the midst of launching ACE Engage – its new online learning platform, ACE needed content, sepcifically courses ready to go as higher education leaders joined the platform.
Our Solution
- To assist in bringing ACE Engage to life, C4E developed and produced 20+ custom e-learning course offerings ranging from topics like Race Relations on Campus to First 100 Days of a Chief Academic Officer.
- Most recently, we produced a video series on the Drivers of Change for High Education as part of the Future of Learning partnership between ACE Knowledge Works. Here’s a look at one of the videos from the series.
BUILD
Client Goal
- With school closures as a result of the COVID-19 lockdowns, BUILD needed a quick solution to provide to their students to keep them engaed in their program as they completed the school year.
Our Solution
- BUILD’s success comes from the strength of their provided curriculum and mentorhsip that support students to become entrepreneurs. To bring that energy into blended learning experience, C4E deeloped a custom website fo the COVID-19 Virtual Design CHallenge where students can independently learn and practice the principles and skills of Human-Centered Design. The Design Challenge offers engaging and culturally relevant content to ensure BUILD students “see thier future selves.”
- The Design Challenge sparked a partnership with Comcast NBCUniversal who offered it as free digital curriculum for educators across the United States.
US Army
Client Goal
- How does an institution, such as the US Army, keep their training programs state-of-the-art, effective, and efficient? The Army’s Maneuver Center of Excellence (MCoE) provided a three-day, face-to-face course designed to train battalion and brigade-level staff personnel on the tenets of the Staff AtN methodology. This delivery method severely limited the number of soldiers who could participate; thus, the MCoE partnered with C4E to convert it into an online course, reaching a larger student population anytime, anywhere.
Our Solution
- C4E instructional designers crafted practical, scenario-based exercises so that soldiers could learn in a realistic environment. Additionally, the course has customized 3D animations, interactive charting and graphing activities, and a mobile application, that soldiers can use in the field as a job aid. This 24-hour, online multimedia course, seamlessly integrates within the Army’s learning management system and reaches more students globally while minimizing travel expenses and reducing leave time.
