STOP GUESSING. START BUILDING.
Creating online training courses takes more than good content. It takes the right instructional design process, the right eLearning development tools, and the right team. That's exactly what EdTek delivers.
Whether you're creating online training courses for employees, students, or compliance requirements, we give you a proven eLearning design and development process that fits your budget, meets your learning objectives, and gets your courses live faster.
HOW TO CREATE AN ONLINE COURSE — THE EDTEK WAY
Most organizations make the same mistake when they start creating online training courses: they jump straight into content without a plan. The result? Courses that don't engage learners, don't meet objectives, and don't deliver ROI.
EdTek's online course creation process starts where it should — with instructional design.
Our Instructional Designers work directly with your Subject Matter Expert (SME) to:
- Conduct a needs analysis for training — identifying gaps, audience profile, and learning goals
- Define clear, measurable learning objectives using the SMART framework
- Build an eLearning storyboard template and course design blueprint
- Develop content that is engaging, effective, and immediately applicable
This is how you create an online course that actually works.
SMART LEARNING OBJECTIVES — THE FOUNDATION OF EFFECTIVE eLEARNING
Knowing how to write SMART objectives is the foundation of every online training course we build:
- Specific — Exactly what should the learner know or do?
- Measurable — How will you track and assess progress?
- Achievable — Are the goals realistic for your learners?
- Relevant — Does the content connect to real job or life needs?
- Timely — Is there a clear deadline or completion window?
Strong SMART objectives are eLearning best practice — they keep your instructional design focused, your content relevant, and your assessments aligned so every element of your online course works toward the same goal.
SCORM-COMPLIANT AND HTML5-COMPLIANT ONLINE COURSES — BUILT RIGHT THE FIRST TIME
Every online training course EdTek creates is fully SCORM-compliant and HTML5-compliant. Here's why that matters for your organization:
SCORM Compliance ensures your online courses can be uploaded to or transferred between any leading Learning Management System on the market — so your eLearning investment is protected no matter how your technology evolves. Whether you're working with SCORM 1.2 vs 2004, EdTek builds to whichever standard your LMS requires.
HTML5 Compliance enables mobile learning — meaning your learners can access course content from any device, anywhere. Smartphones, tablets, laptops, desktops — your online training courses work on all of them.
Don't get locked into courses that only work on one platform or one device. EdTek builds eLearning content that's portable, scalable, and future-proof — using the latest LMS authoring software and SCORM compliant authoring tools available.
