Do you want to offer Critical Thinking training to your employees, but don’t have the time or resources to develop the program yourself? Then the Critical Thinking University might be the perfect solution for your training needs! Set up a time to demo this critical thinking eLearning program now!
This powerful online portal gives everyone from individual contributors to mid-career managers the ability to solve difficult on-the-job problems. Participants advance through 18 interactive courses with real-world business scenarios that require them to:
- Recognize assumptions
- Distinguish fact from opinion
- Beware of persuasive techniques
- Recognize bias in themselves and others
- And develop as a thinker
As learners advance, their real-world skills are challenged in a final ultimate gaming challenge where participants are asked to solve the “Robbery on the R.E.D. Royale!” Participants gain an increasing ability to think critically and draw sound conclusions as they progress through the CTU portal.
Critical Thinking University has the feel of a personalized classroom experience. Participants follow a self-paced lesson path with each critical thinking course building on the other.
Participants receive a free online download of the book Now You’re Thinking! and access to an online book club to discuss their thoughts as they read the story of heroism and effective thinking.
Coaches play an integral role in the learning process. Participants receive coaching and engage with other participants through unique social learning opportunities, including online forums, webinars, wikis, and other informal learning.
Open demos of the Critical Thinking University are held every Thursday at 3pm ET.
