Key components of SkillMill
We’ve consulted with trusted subject matter experts and instructional design professionals to develop an effective training platform that applies the science behind how people learn best.
The SkillMill training platform includes short video courses, 3D simulations and knowledge checks — all to help your workforce advance their abilities faster and more efficiently than with traditional training methods.
Video Courses
SkillMill video courses are designed to build foundational knowledge. Our instructional designers know that retention and engagement begin to drop off after a few minutes. For that reason, our video lessons rarely run more than 3-5 minutes long.
Walk-Through Video Guides
Subject matter experts share their knowledge with learners as they’re led step-by-step through a simulation procedure guide. Watching these videos helps people understand exactly what to do and what to expect, once they’re in a simulation.
3D Simulations
Our sim-based training is designed to model real-world field scenarios. Sims help learners practice and perform tasks and procedures so they’re better prepared for real life. We use a learning methodology that starts out slow and then builds up as learners begin to grasp more difficult concepts.
Knowledge Checks
Short quizzes follow each lesson. They help users focus, remember key pieces of information and zero in on just a few key takeaways from each module.
Supplemental Learning Materials
These visuals help users further understand complex information like wiring diagrams, equations, example system configs, charts and more.
