A strong methodology is needed to allow subject-matter experts and instruction experts to work together efficiently to create an effective online course. We have developed a very specific methodology for course creation and presentation. The methodology is strict enough to ensure that course designers do not need to spend too much time on the layout design, graphics, amount of text, and others. We concentrate in 5 key areas - course structure and content development, user interface, interactivity, compliance and LMS Integration & customization.

Course Structure and Content Development:

New Content

Our Instructional Designers specialize in conceptualization and storyboard creation for generic user groups. Core focus is on development of course content using Instructional Strategies and the latest ID models. A thorough analysis of the task and Audience provide key inputs to developing effective course content. Our content developers interact with SME’s for the preparation of course scripts / storyboards. They further collaborate with Voice Over Artists, Programmers and Graphic Designers to ensure a smooth logical flow of the modules. Our Instructional designers are well experienced in technical and non-technical copywriting.

Content Repurposing

Our content development team has expertise on content repurposing that enables in expanding the scope of any existing training materials by converting the same into another delivery model.

• Instructor Lead Training (ILT) to Web Based Training (WBT): The existing ILT materials can be converted into highly effective and interactive WBT format, delivered over the Internet, Intranet, or Extranet
• Computer Based Training (CBT) to WBT: We have the expertise to Web-enable multimedia content. Converting a CBT to the WBT format requires migration to Web technologies, seamless content movement, and innovative Internet solutions
• Book to WBT: Converting the content of a book into the WBT format.

User Interface

When it comes to user-interface design, we make it as simple as possible. We include all the necessary functions in simple, easy-to-understand buttons, and no more. The function of each button would be obvious. All buttons would have a similar look and have the same functionality for each course.

Interactivity

Another key aspect of eLearning is the need for user interaction with the course. We also provide audio and video segments, animations, which can be activated by user interaction. Q& A would involve checking multiple answers to a question, selecting a diagram or flow chart to answer a question or typing in a word or a number or use drag & drop method.

Compliance
Our eLearning content development methodology includes development of courses compliant with AICC/SCORM norms for most effective training and monitoring. This ensures compatibility to all the standard and compliant Learning Management Servers.

LMS Integration & Customization

Our eLearning Technology Team have extensive experience in implementing, deploying solutions and providing installation, customization and integration support on Learning Management Servers such Saba, TEDDs, NetLearn, Pathlore, ThinQ, Moodle and Dokeos.

Backed by a strong development teams with extensive experience on Back End Programming platforms such as .NET and J2EE to implement requirement specific business rules, workflows (sequential and iterative), external interfaces and metrics/reports, Synergy Images offers end to end solutions for enterprise eLearning needs.
