Testimonials
We partnered with the Racoon Gang a long time ago and they were so helpful, knowledgeable and nice people. The reason why we keep partnering with them is because they understand how important it is for our business to have our LMS in shape every day. They are responsive and if there is a problem, their turn-around times are as good as our own support team. It doesn't matter the time-zones, it doesn't matter their workload, they are just super-people. Their Project Management is excellent. They understand the technical aspect but also human behavior.
The RaccoonGang has been nothing but exception with regards to the planning of, developing and after-service when it came to our edX roll-out. More so, the learning curve on this has been huge for us and RG has simply made it possible with the sharing of knowledge and answering of questions. We would not be in the position we are now where we have a competitive solution in market had it not been for the RG and their teams of supportive staff. I would highly recommend RG to any company.
FAQ
-
Q: What is the most effective way to deliver a course?A: The best delivery format for the chosen course is one that helps you keep your learners' attention and present learning material in an adapted form for self-paced eLearning, live workshops, blended learning, or cohort-based programs.
-
Q: What instructional design models do you usually work with?A: We usually start with ADDIE and adjust our process with SAM (agile/prototyping), Bloom’s Taxonomy, or Backward Design, depending on your timeline, content complexity, and the learning objectives you share with us. Sometimes, we can use Rapid Development if you need a new course for yesterday.
-

We will provide you with a clear estimate.
