    Why is SHIFT easy to use? (2 of 4)

    SHIFT is easy to use because it automates most repetitive tasks associated with eLearning development.  Through a single login screen, based on profile, the user will have access to only the courses and the roles within those courses assigned to him.  No room for unauthorized people or unskilled people to change things.

    SHIFT allows users to create great content with no technical knowledge at all.  No graphic design skills.  A SHIFT user is able to create, for example, a great looking scenario, perhaps re-creating a sales-client interaction, consisting of several scenes, several dialogues and several characters, easily and with zero technical, flash or programming skills.  Creativity is the only required ingredient.

    The smart templates (over 250) allow the writers to choose the best interaction for the content.  It's as easy as clicking on a thumbnail.  By filling in the preconfigured fields, the development environment will know what needs to be displayed on screen, what needs to be recorded, what needs to be uploaded as images, video or even what a specialized graphic designer or animator needs to do.  There are no messy word files, PowerPoint or prototypes going back and forth among team members.  SHIFTmanages everything.

    SHIFT will select those audios that are for a specific voice talent (for example, male voice #1) and then display only those audios to the male voice talent #1 for recording. Once each audio is recorded (by just clicking a button) the system crops, optimizes and uploads into the course.  It's simple because there is no editing of lengthy audios, no manual optimization and no need to integrate into the course.

    Compliance to standards such as SCORM is simple.  When you're ready to publish a course, clicking on the "generate course" will compile the course including all SCORM manifests, navigation, interface, automatically.  Localization is also very simple and straightforward.  Due do SHIFT's database architecture, exporting content, localizing and re-importing into a localized course is fast and straightforward.

    SHIFT has free, online, business hours (east coast) tech support, a built in, eLearning course on how to use SHIFT and a downloadable user manual.

    Ultra-Short Tip: How to Turn Training into Results (Without Creating More Courses)

    In previous articles, we saw that training no longer competes for "more content," but for better execution. The next step is moving from "delivering learning" to "activating performance" at the exact moments where the business wins or loses. In 2026, the problem isn’t a lack of training. The problem is that, even with training, execution remains inconsistent: everyone solves problems "their own way," errors are repeated, and results depend on who handles the case. Smart training shifts the focus: it doesn't design to cover topics; it designs to standardize critical decisions that drive business KPIs.

    Smart Training in 2026: Learning That Impacts Results

    In 2026, training stops being measured by completed courses and starts being measured by execution. Organizations achieving real impact don’t train by topic: they design learning around the critical moments where decisions are made, errors happen, and business results are defined. The Real Problem L&D Faces Today In this new stage of L&D, the conversation no longer revolves around “what course is missing,” but around a much more relevant question for the business:

    Smarter Training for Better Business Outcomes

    In 2026, organizations are rethinking a key question: How should training support real work and business results? For some companies, this means optimizing what they already have. For others, it means taking the first step toward digital training. But the starting point is the same: the focus is no longer on producing more courses or expanding catalogs, but on training smarter. We are talking about learning experiences designed to be relevant, timely, and directly aligned with business objectives, not academic agendas or vanity metrics. When Instructional Design expertise is combined with AI-driven technologies, training teams can boost performance, improve decision-making, and generate insights that actually matter to the organization—without adding unnecessary complexity or losing the human side of L&D.
