About the Course
Modern organizations demand learning solutions that are not only informative but also measurable and accessible. This E-learning Development and Authoring Tools Training moves you from foundational knowledge to intermediate mastery by focusing on the technical execution of complex instructional strategies. You will move beyond simple templates to build custom interactions, manage variables for personalized learning paths, and ensure full compliance with WCAG 2.1 accessibility standards. The curriculum is structured to provide a deep dive into the logic-based side of authoring, where you will practice building branching scenarios and data-driven assessments that provide real-time feedback to learners.
During this five-day intensive program, you will learn to synchronize multimedia elements, optimize assets for mobile-first delivery, and implement advanced tracking using the Experience API (xAPI). Specifically, you will practice constructing interactive prototypes, drafting technical storyboards, configuring software variables, and auditing modules for screen-reader compatibility. This course teaches you how to leverage Articulate Storyline 360 and Adobe Captivate to create high-fidelity simulations and gamified learning components. You will also be introduced to AI-assisted development workflows that reduce the time-to-market for critical training initiatives. By the end of the training, you will have a comprehensive system for managing the entire development lifecycle, from initial technical scoping to final SCORM deployment and stakeholder review.
