Learning Technology and Integration

Central to any organization’s e-learning is the technology driving it.



 

At Allen, we leverage over two and a half decades developing the cutting edge of learning technology. From developing learning portals to creating innovative tools for communicating with clients and managing projects, to helping clients integrate courseware with their learning management systems, we can help you discover the best methods and systems for delivering and managing your learning.

Our philosophy
In 1981, the Allens were searching for innovative methods to more effectively develop and deploy learning. That’s when they brainstormed an industry first: video-based training. By hacking together an Apple IIe and a videodisc player, then developing software to run the player through the Apple, they made their first foray into what would later be known as e-learning.

From that moment until today, we’ve had our hand in defining and developing learning technology. Yet, we know that technology is never an end of itself. Rather, our goal is to focus less on specific technologies, and more on delivering the most appropriate learning, regardless the method of delivery and management.

Areas of Learning Technology Focus
While we’ve had our hand in nearly every type of learning technology that has existed in the past 30 years, our core learning technology competencies fall into three main categories. Learn more about each by clicking the appropriate link:
