The Process of eLearning Part 4: The Development Phase
Welcome to Part 4 of our series “The Process of eLearning”! So far, we’ve reviewed The Analysis Phase and The Design Phase, now it’s time to start development!
The Development Phase is where the eLearning course comes to life. During this phase, we create the actual course content, incorporating multimedia elements and interactive features to ensure a rich and engaging learning experience. This phase involves using various tools and technologies to build the course based on the detailed design plan created in the previous phase.
Key Steps in the Development Phase
Authoring Tools
We utilize advanced eLearning authoring tools to develop the course content. These tools enable us to create interactive and multimedia-rich courses that engage learners and enhance their learning experience.
- Tool Selection: We choose the best authoring tools based on the course requirements. Popular tools include Articulate Storyline, Adobe Captivate, and Lectora Inspire. At Allegro Media Design, we primarily use the Articulate suite of products but have some experience in others. These tools offer robust features for creating interactive and multimedia-rich content (Articulate E-Learning Heroes Community) (Skillshub.com).
- Course Building: Using these tools, we build the course modules, incorporating text, images, videos, animations, and interactive elements. This ensures the content is engaging and caters to various learning styles (Gerta) (eLearning Learning).
Multimedia Production
Incorporating high-quality multimedia elements is crucial for making the content engaging and memorable.
- Audio and Voiceover: We record and integrate professional audio narrations and voiceovers to complement the visual content of our courses. Our in-house voiceover artists and top-of-the-line recording equipment ensure high-quality audio production (SHIFT | Home) (Gerta).
- Video and Animation: We produce and embed videos and animations to illustrate complex concepts and enhance understanding. Our team uses advanced video editing and animation software to create visually appealing and educational content (Skillshub.com) (eLearning Learning).
- Graphics and Illustrations: We design custom graphics and illustrations to support the content and make it more visually appealing. These elements help in breaking down complex information and maintaining learner interest (Articulate E-Learning Heroes Community) (eLearning Learning).
Programming and Integration
Ensuring that the course functions correctly and integrates seamlessly with the Learning Management System (LMS) is a critical part of the development process.
- Interactive Elements: We program interactive elements such as quizzes, drag-and-drop activities, and simulations. These interactions engage learners and provide hands-on practice (Skillshub.com) (SHIFT | Home).
- LMS Integration: We ensure that the course is compatible with various LMS platforms and integrate it seamlessly. This includes configuring SCORM or Tin Can API (xAPI) compliance to track learner progress and performance (Gerta) (eLearning Learning).
Quality Assurance
Quality assurance is an essential step to ensure that the course meets the highest standards of quality and functionality.
- Testing: We conduct thorough testing of the course on different devices and browsers to ensure compatibility and responsiveness. This includes checking all interactive elements, multimedia, and navigation (SHIFT | Home) (Gerta).
- Feedback and Revisions: We gather feedback from stakeholders and pilot learners to identify any issues or areas for improvement. Based on this feedback, we make necessary revisions to enhance the course (Articulate E-Learning Heroes Community) (eLearning Learning).
Why the Development Phase Matters
The Development Phase is where the vision of the eLearning course becomes a reality. High-quality content, multimedia elements, and seamless integration ensure that the course is engaging, effective, and accessible to all learners. This phase is crucial for delivering a polished and professional final product.
