A company selling military field radios provided on-site training in both the U.S. and Mexico. The firm's clients wanted to avoid having to give one very expensive radio to each student in the training sessions. Also, the trainers could only help one student at a time while the other students waited their turns. The client was looking for a quicker, more efficient way to train their students.

We created a bilingual CD-ROM program that exactly simulated the radio’s full functionality. In the new blended learning classroom training, the instructor demonstrated on a radio while the students used laptop computers (which were much less expensive than the radios) to follow along. At the end of each structured topic, the full radio simulator becomes available to the student to try anything that has been learned so far. The simulator performs exactly like the real radio, down to the last detail.

In addition, the user manual for the radio (created by the client) was totally integrated into the training program so the user could instantly link to the section of the manual associated with the current lesson. The training CD was also an invaluable reference guide after the classroom training ended.
