about us |

| Our focus is on developing learning experiences that result in real competencies, and we do so within the constraints imposed by time, budgets and organization cultures. For example, we worked with a client to prepare a web-based compliance program that would train, test and report, in a manner acceptable to a Federal District Court, on some 70,000 supervisors and managers as part of a Consent Decree on employment discrimination. We developed CBT programs that eliminated three weeks of time in classrooms and labs for digital key telephone systems technicians for Toshiba's customers. We've enabled a dozen major casinos to get into compliance with the Title 31 provisions of Currency Transaction Reporting. We're currently working with non-profits to transform traditional seminars on marketing, business planning, and fundraising into virtual seminars that permit overworked executives in widely dispersed communities to increase their competencies while preparing professional plans for their own operations.
Among the better-known clients for whom Guided Learning has worked are: the American Red Cross, Foxwoods Casino, the National Weather Service, Northwestern Mutual Life, Toshiba, and UPS, as well as a number of colleges and universities. In addition to his professional activities, he has been a long-time member of the Board of Trustees for a very wired community college in central New Jersey. Greenagel is the author of two scholarly books which have nothing whatsoever to do with educational technology: The New Jersey Churchscape and Less Stately Mansions, both on the religious architecture of 18th and 19th century New Jersey. He also created and maintains the popular NJChurchscape website, named by Yahoo a "best site" in 2001.
The site
was created and maintained by Frank L. Greenagel, Managing Director
of Guided Learning Systems, a consultancy in learning strategies and
instructional design since 1983. Bill Woodall supplies
the technical expertise for the site and for all the advanced development
work done by Guided
Learning. He is also the principal moderator/subject matter expert
for the firm's Web Competencies" wired seminar, to be offered in August
2003. |
