 About EAP eLearning
EAP eLearning develops innovative products for the Employee Assistance Program (EAP) market place.
We update older EAP products by incorporating in them today's technologies. These updated EAP products significantly out-perform the old ones. We license these new products to EAPs and large corporations.
For example, we are applying today's rich multimedia eLearning technology to the static text-based web articles used by most EAPs as a client self-help resource. We've all seen these online articles, the information contained in the articles is great but clients have to read them to receive the information. But what if reading is not a person's preferred learning style? What then?
What is a Learning Style?
Learning Style Theory proposes that different people prefer to learn in different ways. It states that: Learning Styles are the typical ways a person behaves, feels, and processes information in learning situations. People learn through their senses. Students learn better and more quickly if the teaching methods used match their preferred learning styles.
The four primary learning styles (modalities) are:
1) Visual - absorb information by reading or seeing it through pictures or diagrams.
2) Auditory - absorb information by hearing it.
3) Kinesthetic - (tactile) absorb information by touching (hands-on), role play, and practice.
4) Didactic - absorb information by asking questions. |

Most of us learn best through a combination of multiple learning styles. By presenting these helpful articles to clients in a form that offers multiple learning styles, EAPs will achieve greater client usage rates and increase client satisfaction. In addition, EAPs that take advantage of this technology will gain an important competitive advantage over EAPs that do not.
Our new online eLearning self-help library is a client information resource geared primarily towards today's younger generation employees (age 45 and younger) who prefer to receive information through the Internet via rich multimedia eLearning rather than by reading online text documents. Nevertheless, our eLearning self-help library retains the text documents for those who prefer reading. E-Learning articles in our online self-help library focus on common personal and family problems in areas such as: relationships, marriage,
divorce, parenting, health, finances, grand parenting, elder care, etc.
Good vs. Better
 As the two charts on this page clearly show, providing clients with information via multimedia eLearning has two distinct advantages over text-only delivery. First, as the Guerra Scale chart (above right) shows, users rate online delivery using only text as just "good" but rate multimedia delivery as "better". Second, as the Learning Retention chart (right) shows, using multimedia in addition to text (multiple learning styles) to deliver information doubles user retention.

If you're an EAP doing business in today's competitive market place, which product would you want to offer to your clients -- a product clients rate as "good" or a product clients rate as "better"?
