Course Development
Excellent off-the-shelf online courses certainly help you save plenty of time & money. However, all businesses always have the need to train their employees on frequently changing specific policies, procedures, skills and information unique to their particular company or situation.
Advantages Of Custom Course Development
- Content not available from generic off-the-shelf courses
- Provide courses and assessments unique to your business needs
- Easily monitor all training activity and measure results and see ROI
- Avoid expensive travel and work disruption from typical classroom training
- Save significant time, money and improve employee productivity
- Use any of your existing training documents, PDFs, PowerPoint presentations, videos or other media
- Create your own trackable courses from YouTube or other free online videos
Should you hire a professional course developer, create courses yourself in-house, or both?
This is an important decision that depends on many factors.
In-House vs. Professional Development
When To Consider In-House Course Development
- You have on staff (or can afford) your own professional course developer
- You are only creating simple course layouts and have other staff available to do it
- You have (or will get) an LMS with easy-to-use course authoring built-in
- You will not need courses exported to SCORM and used in any other LMS
When to Consider Professional Course Development
- You don't have or can't afford staff to develop custom courses
- You need help planning and implementing some or all phases of your training project(s)
- You don't own professional course authoring software like Articulate Storyline or iSpring Suite
- You need more dynamic, sophisticated course layouts and have no staff with that expertise
- You need to develop courses that can be exported to SCORM and used in any LMS
The best solution is often a combination of both.
