The 6 Steps to Create Your Own Custom eLearning Experience

Is your organisation in need of a bespoke eLearning module, but you don’t know where to start?

Compared to “off the shelf” courses, custom designed experiences effectively convey your brand image, have zero license costs, have quick and convenient updates, and allow you to create unique knowledge checks and assessments. The most significant benefit of a custom course is that it will enable you to be creative, and in turn, enhance your learner’s motivation and engagement.

eLearning Industry has stated that “One of the most notable advantages of opting for custom training over pre-made eLearning courses is a measurable boost in employee performance”.

If you want to get some more in-depth information on the benefits of custom courses, check out this blog.

So, where do you begin? eCreators have an outstanding team of in-house designers and developers who are itching to get creative and create a fantastic learning experience. This article will outline the process from start to finish for creating your custom eLearning course with eCreators.

Connect

The first step is to get in contact with a member of our team, which you can do by phone, email, or by clicking here! Your learner outcomes and business goals are the most important things to us, so we will find out as much as we can to help you achieve your ideal result so you can be a star at your organisation! We will talk to you about what you would like the course to look and feel like, and whether graphic development or animation is required. If you have existing content, we would love to see as much of that as we can as well. You will be provided with a showcase of our previous modules (of which we have hundreds) which will be tailored to what you are looking for, giving you a greater understanding of how amazing your course could become!

Deep Dive & Proposal

After our first call where we find out all the essential details, we arrange a sit-down chat either face to face, or online, to go through all further information. To ensure we are creating content that fits you and your organisation correctly, we will go through every factor of the course design. We will then go away and work on a proposal that includes accurate costings and timeframes. We can even show you a proof of concept piece to illustrate precisely how the content will look and perform.

Project Kick-Off & Design  

Once the SOW (Statement of Work) has been approved, and with all the details collected from our in-depth meeting fresh in our minds, the eCreators content creation team will begin generating your custom piece of content. Learning designers, animators and graphic designers will all work together to bring together a comprehensive project plan. This includes screen designs and storyboards. We seek your feedback and regularly talk with you along the way to ensure we are creating exactly what you are looking for.  This provides confidence that we share the same vision for the module.

Alpha Version

After going through the design process, the first version (Alpha) of the course will be ready for you to use. You can go through the course from start to finish, and provide us with any feedback you might have. We will be getting in contact with you to answer any questions, and if you have any changes, we can begin to implement them straight away.

Gold version

Implementing your feedback, the polished “Gold” version of the content will be created. This version will include all the changes you requested, any voiceover, and all the final amazing designs our team has created. If you are thrilled with the product, it will be ready for deployment to your organisation at this stage, and you can begin to blow your learners away and achieve the goals that were set out in our very first meeting.

Handover & Follow-Up

If you are hosting your Learning Management System with us, we can upload the content straight for you. If not, we can export it in any format, so that it is sure to work with your existing system. You will be provided with all the assets, and your Intellectual Property is completely protected post project, whether you are hosting with us or not.

After deployment, we can be involved as much or as little as you like. We can provide after-care support and maintenance for this project or any of your other eLearning. If you prefer to maintain or create eLearning yourself, we can train you in leading authoring tools.

With over 12 years of experience in the field and as one of the world’s largest Moodle Partners, eCreators have been entrusted to take care of organisations just like yours. We have a team of content creating experts in-house to take care of everything from design to development.
