What We Do
Training Xchange aims to change how things are done, not just transfer information.
For Researchers and Developers
We have developed a Research Translation Accelerator service that guides researchers and developers through a step-by-step process to create an effective training.
Step 1. Translate information and materials from the context of research into the real world
- Reduce complex, detailed research procedure manuals into simpler, user-friendly training materials
- Integrate the content developers (e.g., researchers) as training content experts
- Develop “implementation-ready” products from research protocols
Step 2. Design in-person and/or online training products
- Define the scope of the trainings (agenda, timing, mix of teaching techniques, breadth and depth of course materials, etc.)
- Choose online learning options appropriate to their needs and resources – ranging from lecture capture to studio-developed content
Step 3. Manage the trainings
- Administer both in-person and online trainings
- Develop all needed training materials and services
- Evaluate the trainings for ongoing quality improvement
Training Xchange helps researchers disseminate their interventions, programs, or tools and increase the visibilityof their research findings.
