DSA has been developing computer-based solutions since 1985. Today, e-learning and blended learning approaches make up about 50% of DSA’s custom development work. Projects have varied from relatively short single topic modules, to more lengthy courses, to whole curricula for a specific job or career path.

Custom E-Learning Project Experience

• Management training
• Equipment technician training
• Sales training and product knowledge training
• Software training
• Regulatory and compliance training
• Support for key strategic initiatives

Six Client Examples

1. Caterpillar University: The conversion of lab-based and instructor-led courses into a Web-based format for corporate wide distribution.
2. Caterpillar, Inc.: A technician’s curriculum using a blended solution. The blended solution consisted of a series of asynchronous e-learning modules and four-day hands-on lab for their natural gas engine technicians worldwide.
