Creative Interactive Ideas

We use a wide range of off-the-shelf development tools, enabling customers to more easily maintain their courseware and lower their overall costs. We favor Adobe and Articulate products, and do not use proprietary authoring tools or plug-ins. Delivered courseware meet AICC and SCORM standards. Additionally, because of our partnerships with multiple LMS, LCMS, and other software vendors, we are able to deliver programs in a wide variety of formats.

A phase-step process includes building a template for course development and allowing multiple reviews of the course, to ensure correctness and capture changes as the course is built. This helps decrease costs and speeds up the overall process.

We also provide customer support for our deliverables, as well as products from other vendors. The objective is to enable clients to optimize their e-learning investment.
