About Peripet Learning

Instructional design processes DO NOT GUARANTEE quality products.

Instructional design strategies DO NOT GUARANTEE performance change.

Instructional design tools DO NOT GUARANTEE efficient development.

For that matter, there is nothing currently available to ID or LXD teams that GUARANTEE anything other than the potential to make something useful.

Think about it for a minute.

With all these processes (which I have worked on for decades) and the strategies (which I have used countless times) and the ever-updated tools (which I have used from the earliest available), why do we still have projects which take months (and are too costly), designs which don’t cause the change needed and products which still miss the mark?

Simple. They were not meant to guarantee anything. The processes, strategies and tools we all use only provide us with the opportunity to create something useful. Not guarantees.

Peripet Learning offers the opportunity for you and your team to address these challenges with real solutions – one based on your company’s need and your team’s potential. Let’s start making the change needed to bring quality, cost effective, and timely ID work to your company.
