The document discusses electronic performance support systems (EPSS) and how they can be integrated into learning programs to provide on-demand support for users. It defines EPSS and explains how EPSS content can be developed alongside classroom training materials to reinforce learning and allow users to access guidance while performing tasks. Examples are given of how EPSS can solve performance issues by removing barriers rather than just providing more training.

- 11. What is Performance Support? A Performance Support Joke
- 12. What is Performance Support? A young man was hired by his town’s highway department. His first assignment was to paint yellow lane lines down the middle of a local road. On the first day he painted two miles of lines; on the second, one mile; and on the third, a half mile.
- 13. What is Performance Support? When his supervisor asked him why his productivity had fallen off so dramatically over the three days, he told her that the answer was quite simple:
- 14. What is Performance Support? “ The farther I go… the further I get from the paint bucket.”
- 15. What is Performance Support? Which is the better way to solve this performance problem? Make the bucket bigger? Train the painter to p aint—and run--faster? Make the bucket mobile?
- 16. What is Performance Support? Which is the better way to solve this performance problem? Make the bucket bigger? Train the painter to paint—and run--faster? Make the bucket mobile? The Performance Support perspective : Let’s ensure that the worker has full access to the knowledge and resources he needs when he needs them.
- 17. What is Performance Support? Track and Field
- 18. What is Performance Support? It takes this woman 13 seconds to run 100 meters. She wants to run it in 11 seconds.
- 19. What is Performance Support? Which is the better way to solve this performance problem? Give her more training on how to jump the hurdles? Eliminate the hurdles?
- 20. What is Performance Support? Which is the better way to solve this performance problem? Give her more training on how to jump the hurdles? Eliminate the hurdles? The Performance Support perspective : Let’s get rid of any unnecessary tasks or barriers to effective performance.
- 21. What is Performance Support? Bicycle riding
- 22. What is Performance Support? A father wants his young daughter to be able to ride her new bicycle in a short period of time and without a lot of scraped knees and tears.
- 23. What is Performance Support? Which is the better way to solve this performance problem? Give her a training class on keeping her balance? Put training wheels on the bike?
- 24. What is Performance Support? Which is the better way to solve this performance problem? Give her a training class on keeping her balance? Put training wheels on the bike? Let’s have the performer learn in the context of doing, when he or she is most receptive and can immediately apply the knowledge. The Performance Support perspective :
- 25. Which is the better way to solve this performance problem? Insist that doctors take more courses on infections? Create a checklist of proper ICU procedures and insist that everyone follow it. What is Performance Support? The Performance Support perspective : We can’t afford not to support on-the-job performance.
- 26. What is EPSS? Where does EPSS fit into the training lifecycle How do you find time to build content for an EPSS system on top of other required training content? EPSS: Electronic Performance Support System
- 27. What is EPSS? EPSS: Electronic Performance Support System Electronic Performance Support Systems , published in 1991, Gloria Gery defined EPSS as: “ an integrated electronic environment that is available to and easily accessible by each employee and is structured to provide immediate, individualized on-line access to the full range of information, ..... to permit job performance with minimal support and intervention by others.”
- 28. 2 months after being trained…. Now what does the learner do? EPSS in the training lifecycle
- 29. Go-Live Initial training Following initial training COMPETENCY Continuous development of user knowledge TRAINING EPSS in the training lifecycle Develop training content that enables entire software application to be supported with Electronic Performance Support.
- 30. Go-Live Initial training Following initial training COMPETENCY Continuous development of user knowledge TRAINING EPSS in the training lifecycle Develop training content that enables entire software application to be supported with Electronic Performance Support.
- 31. How can EPSS make classroom training better? Classroom training should focus more on core competencies instead of trying to cover every single learning need of every student in the class at one time. Avoid the firehouse approach ! EPSS in the training lifecycle
- 32. How can EPSS make classroom training better? Retention of classroom training is improved when the training material is very much identical to the content that learners will experience when they seek on demand guidance, at their “moment of need” This is accomplished by creating classroom training content, documentation, and EPSS content at the same time and using the same development tool. Improve learner retention
- 33. Kaplan’s Approach: Empower trainers to develop the guidance topics quickly enabling the entire software application to be supported with EPSS content. Offer step by step guidance of software application processes. Use graphics to enhance the clarity of each step without interfering with the learner’s view of the area where tasks are to be performed. Use help topic titles and descriptions as searchable keywords to minimize the need to add keyword tags manually. EPSS: Electronic Performance Support System
- 34. Deployment options for users to access on demand training support Context sensitive help launched from within any software application. 2. Simple manual search with the ability to support several applications from a single search window. 3. Embedded links within an application that launch specific help content with a single click. EPSS in the training lifecycle
- 35. It is critical to any EPSS project that content is available for every part of the application being supported . Offering more than one style of documentation is important to support different learning styles. EPSS is not intended to replace any part of the traditional blended learning environment but rather to increase long term retention of content developed to support other training components. There are tools available which can reduce the development time of EPSS content by automatically creating it as part of the creation of other blended learning components. EPSS content should be short, simple, process based objects to enhance key word search ability and prevent learners from having to “fast forward” to content they need in the middle of a long process. In Summary…
Editor's Notes
- #29: Speed of development affects retention because the quicker training can be developed the more content can be made available in the same amount of development time. Having e-learning content available for more processes will build learner confidence in trying new processes.
