Let Me Try.

Interactive exercises with personalized feedback to practice skills learned.

User-friendly course components

Course components such as self-paced videos and interactive exercises, a user dashboard, an online binder, and a resource center allow users to learn at their own pace and easily revisit course content.

Mini-games

Mini-games support learning through shorter game play. Include mini-games in a course or game-based program to help users practice a specific skill or strategy or check their knowledge. You can use a 3C mini-game as is, 3C can modify the text and graphics of an existing mini-game to support your learning objectives, or we can work with you to develop a new mini-game.

Data collection and analysis

DeLP collects and analyzes user data, measuring user performance and progress to create useful feedback for users and valuable insights for your program. Administrators can review and download data from an administrator dashboard.

Strategy Shaper is an interactive online course that gives researchers the critical negotiation skills they need to have a successful career. David Kupfer, MD, professor of psychiatry at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, has spent more than a decade developing effective trainings on career navigation skills for behavioral health investigators. With funding from the National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences, Kupfer and negotiation expert Andrea Schneider, JD, professor and director of the Dispute Resolution Program at Marquette University Law School, chose 3C’s dynamic e-learning platform (DeLP) to develop Strategy Shaper. They chose DeLP so they could personalize the course experience and provide opportunities for hands-on practice and feedback.

We’ve been working with 3C since 2004, and it’s been a great run. Our program (www.cdi.pitt.edu) is much larger and broader and has spun off into other programs as a direct result of our work together.

CASE STUDY
Via Hope is a Texas nonprofit that promotes patient advocacy through person-centered recovery planning (PCRP), a recovery-oriented approach to care directed by patients in collaboration with providers and other supporters.
With funding from the Texas Department of State Health Services’ Mental Health and Substance Abuse Division, Via Hope partnered with 3C Institute to develop an online learning series to complement their in-person training program supporting the implementation of recovery-oriented practices. Via Hope chose 3C Institute for our expertise in behavioral health, e-learning, and web development.

We’ve really appreciated 3C Institute’s collaborative nature and genuine interest in the learning experience that we want to create for people. There isn’t this divide where we feel like we own the content, and they feel like they own the technical piece; instead we feel like we’re working together as a team to think about the experience of the learner.

CASE STUDY
3C Institute worked with the University of Maryland School of Medicine to produce MDBehavioralHealth.com. The online training site provides access to a library of training courses for individuals interested in supporting the behavioral health of youth and their families.
The online training allows individuals to work at their own pace. They can download materials, take the training, view video tips from experts, and explore related links, all from one central site.
The site is hosted by the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Maryland School of Medicine and developed in partnership with the Maryland Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, Mental Hygiene Administration.

“I can’t imagine finding another company that has not only the technical expertise but also the understanding of social and behavioral health. 3C talks the talk and walks the walk.”

BIOGRAPHY

Dr. Childress obtained her PhD in psychology at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Prior to coming to 3C Institute, she served as a research associate and a postdoctoral fellow in the Carolina Institute for Developmental Disabilities at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill working on a longitudinal imaging study aimed at identifying the early markers of autism through behavioral and imaging methodologies. She has 19 years of autism research experience, during which she has examined the behavioral, personality, and cognitive characteristics of individuals with autism and their family members. Dr. Childress also has experience developing behavioral and parent report measurement tools, coordinating multi-site research studies, and collecting data from children and families. She has taught courses and seminars in general child development, autism, and cognitive development at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
