We have now made available SCORM compliant versions of our automated training on our Help & Support site’s training section. SCORM stands for Sharable Content Object Reference Model, and you can learn more about it from this website.

We’ve come to know about SCORM through the fine folks in Albertina Kerr. We’ve worked with them and converted all the training done by T-Girl and Mr. FirstPage. As I understand, if you have an LMS (Learning Management System) which supports SCORM, you can download the zip files of the individual training from our site and then upload to your LMS. Through that you can then get the LMS to report if your learners have completed a training, how much they’ve gotten on a quiz that T-Girl took etc. The LMS then will also remember for the learner where they had last stopped watching the T-Girl training.

It all sounds rather cool to me. Something to look into to improve your agency’s training!

Long ago, we announced that we were trying out a fun lil’ animated video for a rap that Jeremy, Richard’s son made about Therap. Its been over a year now that it was made and I realized we put it on our facebook but not this blog! So in case, someones missed it, its a good time to recollect, and have some fun again!

Watch the video:

Sincerely,

Tanm

If your agency is using Therap, and you would like to put a link to Therap’s website from your agency’s website, or internal site, you can select from a bunch of Therap images and animations we’ve designed for that purpose. Below are some samples, but to see the full range of choices and to get the code for them, visit this page.

Also, if you’re putting on links, you might also think of joining our Points Program whereby you can earn points for putting a link to our site! The site will tell you of the benefits you will receive from joining the program and other details. View Site

Helo, to all visiting Therapians.
If anyone’s noticed, we didn’t color the hotel orange this time around with our banners, only the orange front desk stands! However, this time around we have again come up with a T-Girl – Justin double team plenary opening session! Heres a video of T-Girl from there!

And we’ve been sitting on a rap by Jeremy, Richard’s son, for a long time, thinking of a video for it where T-Girl could breakdance. Finally, we’ve done something and we’re dying to show it to people. Its already on our Facebook page and Youtube.

We are also opening up a contest to have our users make some videos of their own! We’d have them upload to us, and then we have a prize for the video that gets the most views! So, get on your phone cams, or if you have a proper camera then good, but more importantly think about what you want the video to be about! Our theme is “My Therap Video”. So, it can be rants about how you love Therap, to something a lot more critical like how it allowed you to save costs with the move to electronic records, to anything else you might want to tell others about Therap! Check out the My Therap Video site for details, and to upload your videos.

Google has already had an impact on language, quite common to hear someone say “Google it!”. As of yesterday, I have been saying things like “YouTube it”, or “YouTubing”, and that is so because Therap does have a YouTube page, and lately, we’ve been updating it and using it more then ever. Everyones welcome to go pay a visit and share their thoughts on our videos, our training, and our services and do share with your friends too.

Started by one of our very own Therapite, the fascination for getting hold our very own Therap flair has since been growing. We are absolutely in love with these little gems. If you want one for yourself then all you have to do is have your own Facebook profile and search for “Therap” by visiting Pieces of Flair page.

Our training games developer Tashlima shared a nice article with the team this morning. The piece was about “Understanding Your Brain for Better Design: Left vs. Right”

All of us in the team jumped right in to find out which part of ours play the more dominant role in our thinking and design process (for fun’s sake). Oh just in case you were wondering, we use both sides of our brain i.e the left and the right hemisphere but which side plays a more dominant role dictates how we perceive things around us. If I were you I’d take some time to click the link to the article mentioned above Its worth a read and plus taking the quiz (end of the article) can help give you some insight on how it all works

Just to give the gist, the left brain is said to handle organization and logic while the right brain depends on visual markers or look for visual references as information. Oh, just thought I’d post how we (design team) scored after taking the Right Brain vs Left Brain Creativity Test.
