Build member expertise with custom eLearning

Custom Learning takes a partnership approach with your association—your success is our success, and we adapt to provide the exact capacity and support your eLearning initiatives require.

To ensure your project progresses smoothly, we create tailored workback schedules considering your team’s workloads, manage project check-ins according to your communication preferences, and collaborate closely with you at every step.

Whether you need full eLearning outsourcing, collaborative co-development with your internal teams, or strategic consulting to guide your vision, we meet you precisely where you need us to deliver stellar and effective training outcomes.

Yes, we help associations sell courses to members. We significantly enhance the marketability of your custom eLearning and can provide additional setup support to optimize your sales process.

For example, our targeted approach helped Canada Soccer achieve an outstanding 733% increase in training revenue. We can employ similar strategies to help your association monetize its valuable educational content.

If your association requires changes during the development of your eLearning project, our Custom Learning team is fully prepared to support any adjustments or shifts in focus you deem necessary. 

We utilize a flexible, points-based pricing system, allowing your association to adjust priorities and reallocate resources as your project evolves easily.

For example, if you decide a planned video component would better serve your members as an interactive infographic, we can seamlessly redirect those production points to create that new element or enhance other areas of your training.

To develop your association’s eLearning project, we take a hands-on, collaborative approach. We primarily conduct in-depth interviews with your subject matter experts (SMEs) and instructors to thoroughly understand your specific knowledge. 

We supplement this by analyzing your existing documentation and holding discovery meetings, ensuring we accurately capture and can clearly articulate the technical expertise crucial to your association. 

Where appropriate and with your approval, our team may leverage AI tools to enhance project efficiency, ensuring the final training resources precisely reflect your association’s distinct expertise.

For your association’s eLearning project, we take a comprehensive and flexible partnership approach, providing all necessary resources—from instructional design to full development or consulting—to bring your unique training vision to life.

Our processes are flexible and based on your needs, but many of our projects follow these steps, which are tried and true and built for success—check out our past eLearning successes. 

• Working with you to determine the scope and goals of your training and creating a plan
• Assessing the state of your current training materials and branding requirements
• Defining pre-course development assets, including learner personas and storyboard mock-ups 
• Using your authoring tool of choice to develop a design demo for your project
• Developing eLearning resources using your approved design and storyboard
• Adding enhancements to your project, like gamification, graphics, and custom interactions
• Completing quality control reviews and providing additional feedback opportunities

At the end of your project, we will provide you with the final project files and published outputs, which are ready for your learners and your LMS. We can also offer ongoing assistance, such as eLearning course warranty, publishing updates, or content revisions.

The development timeline for your association’s custom eLearning courses is determined collaboratively. We’ll work with you to determine a timeline based on the following factors:

• The readiness of your source material and knowledge
• The complexity and design level of your desired eLearning course
• The scope of your project

Your association’s project will have a dedicated project manager and leverage our waterfall development approach, enabling simultaneous work on different content pieces to manage even large-scale eLearning initiatives efficiently. 

Our top priority is to work closely with your association to establish and meet a timeline that aligns perfectly with your association’s specific needs and goals.

The cost of eLearning development depends largely on the project scope and what features are included in the final product.

For example, developing a 15-minute eLearning course can cost between $3,000 and $25,000. 

• On the low end of the scale is a non-narrated course where the eLearning content is nearly ready to be migrated into a course.
• On the other end of the spectrum, imagination is the limit with a highly interactive, possibly gamified course that includes narration, accessibility, and instructional design support. 

Several factors come into play as we determine the cost of your eLearning project, such as content readiness, interactivity level, add-ons like narration or virtual avatars, and other features all contribute to the overall price.

To ensure your association’s courses are engaging and valuable, we begin by working closely with you to deeply understand your members’ unique needs, current knowledge, and specific learning objectives.

Based on this understanding, we employ tailored multimodal strategies, including storytelling, to present information in the most effective tone and context, conveying the “why” behind their learning for maximum relevance. Furthermore, we can provide robust accessibility features to all your courses, ensuring every member has a productive, enriching, and ultimately valuable training experience.

Our Custom Learning team can incorporate various interactive components into your association’s eLearning courses to make your training more effective, engaging, and memorable for your members. We’ll work closely with your association to recommend the specific interactive content that best aligns with your unique learning objectives and your members’ needs.

You’ll then have the flexibility to select both the type of interactivity and its level of customization to suit your course content and goals best.

To see examples of some of the interactive content we can create for your training, check out our eLearning interactivity glossary. 

You, the client, own all courses created by our eLearning development and instructional design team. 

We ensure all training materials your association provides are kept secure and confidential in a cloud-hosted directory accessible only to our team, and we are happy to sign an NDA for complete peace of mind regarding your proprietary content.

Furthermore, if AI tools are utilized with your permission, we adhere to a strict policy to protect your association’s sensitive information, ensuring it is never used for external learning purposes.
