Dupont Sustainable Solutions is part of a very large multinational company that manufactures a multitude of products called Dupont. This offshoot of Dupont is an extensive training department that sells and creates a multitude of products on health and safety. They use the ADDIE approach and have developed their own Dupont eLearning Suite for use and sale. Their training programs have vetted many awards within many industries and use the blended format. They offer over 1400 course titles in 20 languages. They can give workshops, design your training, or you can purchase a DVD or gain access to the online courses. You can preview any online course and the 2 courses I looked at had the same look and feel. Menu on left, player controls on the bottom, video in the middle and on the right bullet points emphasizing important information. They also have developed their own LMS system. I could not comment on content, but I felt many aspects of making the course interesting and engaging were lacking. What came to mind was that the only time there was engagement, was during self tests. For a large conglomerate, they could use many more techniques to make the course more engaging.
