Why you should outsource your digital learning to experts

Understanding of accessibility

Of course, eLearning may be just one aspect of a larger role, or you may have more eLearning work than your team can take on. By outsourcing to experts in the field, you can be confident that they will take care of everything for you, enabling you to focus on your other priorities.

By using a good eLearning partner with dedicated resources and specialised skills, you’ll get great content that fits your needs exactly, in much less time than it would take you to create it yourself. This allows you to get it into the hands of your learners as quickly as possible to affect change in your organisation sooner.

Digital learning experts, such as eCom, will have dedicated resources for the creation of eLearning courses, including:

• Instructional Designers – ensure a learner-centric approach and shape content into the best possible experience.
• Digital Designers - apply design techniques that guide the learner and enhance usability
• Quality Assurance Testers – thoroughly test for accessibility, compatibility and system functionality
• Developers – manage and customise digital learning platforms efficiently, without the need for in-house development

Instructional Designers are important for ensuring a learner-centric approach, helping you transform your content into the best solution for the learner. You can learn more about this in our blog post, Why do you need an Instructional Designer on your eLearning project team?

Digital Designers are essential in taking the content in the storyboard and bringing it to life with design techniques to guide the eye, highlight important information and ensure smooth usability. Digital Designers have expertise in wide areas of design that can be matched with the project’s needs.

Quality Assurance Testers have extensive experience in testing different kinds of courses for different requirements. From accessibility to system tests, you can be assured that your course will be thoroughly checked.

Some eLearning partners, like eCom, also have Developers creating and improving digital learning platforms. You can save yourself an enormous amount of time and resources by choosing a tried and tested platform with Developers on hand for customisation and improvements, as opposed to investing heavily in Developer time in-house.

Collaborative processes

Great digital learning partners understand that the product is yours and needs to reflect your values, brand and needs. This is done through excellent collaboration and ensuring everyone is on the same page and aligned with your project’s goals.

An ideal partner will take the time to understand the reasons behind your project and be invested in delivering the best solution to meet your objectives. They will be able to quickly and easily run with the brief you give them and deliver eLearning content that makes a positive contribution to the overall effectiveness of your organisation.

At eCom, we have supported many clients to deliver essential courses at the right time for their learners that would otherwise have taken longer and disrupted other initiatives if done in-house.
