echelon® specializes in online continuing education, integrating course design and media development with accreditation and hosting. Our mission is to serve the continuing education needs of individuals and organizations in various industries by providing high-quality e-learning and informational resources to enhance professional development. We offer engaging multimedia courses that follow best practices in educational design and fulfill continuing education requirements. At echelon®, we develop our courses according to sound principles of instructional design and e-learning. Studies on best practices for adult education have shown that interactive, multimedia programs that support multiple learning styles have the greatest impact. Our courses combine audio, video, and animated graphics in ways that optimize interactive learning. Our participants will learn, not through reading articles or passively viewing PowerPoint presentations, but through participating in activities designed to reinforce concepts and stimulate thinking. Online education has proven to be more cost-effective for not only the individual user but also for organizations, with the distance traveled to seminars being replaced with online educational programs. From Human Resources, OSHA, and healthcare, to specialized departmental education and training, our team of professionals works with each client in developing educational strategies from conception to distribution. For over 10 years, echelon® has been partnering with clients such as Healthstream Inc., Phillips Healthcare, Toshiba America Medical Systems, Covidien, Mallinckrodt Pharmaceuticals, Adventist Health Systems, Metroplex Health System, Peterson Regional Medical Center, GE Healthcare, Barnes Jewish Hospitals, HRP and Associates, and hospital systems throughout Florida to deliver quality online educational courses and resources customized for their needs.
