At Guard Tree Publishing, we know that innovative training will fuel learners to change their practice—and to connect more deeply with those they serve and with the professionals they engage with in the field and on the job.
We believe that online learning—like classroom learning—should be friendly, easy to navigate, memorable, and informative.
Here’s how we get there:
We collaborate.
We know we’re smarter together, and so we take time at the beginning to understand your needs and vision. By asking questions and providing recommendations, we clarify any points of uncertainty before diving in.
We want to know what you hope to accomplish with your courses, why you’re choosing a specific structure, and what you want learners to understand (and so feel empowered to do) once they finish their learning experience.
We blueprint our execution process so we can finish on time.
From your content, we create an internal tool we call a Developer’s Guide. Beyond a storyboard, the Guide details each screen—design, graphics, narration, text, and interactive features—so that development can happen accurately and efficiently, within budget and timeframe.
We focus on audience.
There can be learning only when there’s communication—which means the learner’s perspective is paramount. By deeply understanding our target audience, we can choose how to best tailor the technology we use to communicate the essential learning objectives.
While we believe that fancy doesn’t always mean effective, we’re always excited to engage online learners in new ways. Real learning means real change.
We engage.
Meeting your needs means we have to stay connected. We work with you, as well as for you.
Our problem-solving brains are equally creative as they are organized and responsive. We’ll always make time to meet with you and respond to your emails and phone calls promptly.
We use all available resources.
To ensure you receive outstanding courses, our experienced team collaborates with a rockstar group of preferred partners to bring you impeccable translation, voiceover, story editing, and video.
