E-learning - frequently asked questions

What information do you need to give me a proposal?

Ideally, we'd like a comprehensive document outlining your learning objectives, the content, budget and technical requirements. In reality, we often work from the briefest of briefs, so don't worry if you don’t have all the info as we’ll work with you to develop and refine the concept.

How quickly can you start?

We can normally start the process straightaway. We have a flexible team and can, if required, gear up internal resources at short notice.

Are you willing to work with other suppliers to deliver a solution?

We have worked on numerous projects involving co-development with other suppliers, we’re happy to add value wherever we can.

Who develops the content?

Unless agreed otherwise, it's our job to take your source materials - documents, PowerPoints, supporting guidance, workbooks, handouts - and turn it into e-learning. We can work with your partner suppliers or you to develop as much or as little content as you need.

What technology do you use?

We use technology most appropriate for your technical infrastructure, typically DHTML or Flash. We are also happy to work with clients' preferred tools, such as Composica, Adobe Connect and Articulate. We’ve worked with numerous bespoke LCMS’ and have in-depth Moodle experience.

How long does it take to develop an e-learning module?

It depends on the scope of the requirement and its complexity. We’ve been known to deliver in as little as 2-3 weeks, but in practice most projects take 2-3 months from development phase to final implementation.

How much will it cost?

We work to a fixed price, based on a jointly agreed scope and approach. Our costs are transparent and we like to think highly competitive. The cost naturally depends on the size of the project and:

Type of media used – if there’s a requirement for video, simulations or animations
Complexity of content, the techniques we deploy and how complicated the functionality needs to be
Timing – if there’s real urgency that requires delivery ‘yesterday’ then that may have an impact
Technical issues or requirements
