Fulfilling the eLearning Promise

We expect more of eLearning today than a few years ago.  Learners expect to master what they need to know right when they need to know it.  Developers want to find, update, and repurpose content with ease. Instructional designers want content to be well-designed and focused on competencies and performance outcomes. Subject Matter Experts want to be empowered to create and maintain quality content on their own. 

Meeting this challenge requires a new, open eLearning content architecture we call NextGen content.

NextGen Content

NextGen content replaces legacy online courses. These legacy courses achieved the early goal of providing alternatives to classroom learning but tend to be long, linear, and created with proprietary tools. They cannot meet today’s requirements for on-demand chunks of learning focused on specific topics.  Organizations can’t afford to redevelop courseware every time major revisions are required, or every time a proprietary platform expires or is rendered obsolete.  A new approach to content design is required to meet today’s expectations for real-time learning experiences with up-to-date content.

Next generation content breaks the constraints of first generation content. It is constructed in layers that separate content from presentation, structure, context and instructional design. It is far less costly and time consuming to update and maintain.  It is modular and flexible and can be easily repurposed for use in multiple contexts. It uses standards to avoid interoperability problems and is directly tied to learning objectives and performance outcomes. It is tagged with metadata (down to the page level) so that it can be more easily found and managed in distributed environments. It takes advantage of the capabilities of modern formats and learning management systems to provide higher levels of interactivity and personalized learning paths.

The Path to NextGen Content

You don’t have to start from scratch to reap the benefits of NextGen content. We can help you leverage your investment in content and systems components (such as your LMS and LCMS) to achieve NextGen content functionality.

Eduworks has years of experience with standards, e-learning technology, enterprise architectures, instructional design, and content development.  We can leverage this experience to help you:

• Transform the way you develop and manage content within your existing infrastructure to bring next generation eLearning to your organization, 
• Cconvert your legacy courseware to NextGen content, and 
• Design, plan and implement a NextGen content strategy that is tailored to the needs of your organization. 

We offer innovative technologies, tools and capabilities that help you implement a NextGen content architecture today.  These include:

Tenereo

Tenereo is a powerful yet simple desktop application that enables subject matter experts, instructional designers and content developers to easily and inexpensively repurpose, update, enhance and publish standards-based e-learning content.  Tenereo is based on the NextGen content principle that content, look and feel, structure, and learning strategy should all be separated, managed separately and changed independently.

Metadata Technologies

At the heart of a next generation enterprise solution is quality metadata that enables you to find and index your content and match it to organizational objectives and competencies.  Eduworks offers a full suite of metadata technologies that automate the process of metadata generation and maintenance.

Content Conversion

We can convert your existing Authorware or proprietary HTML courseware into NextGen content to help you migrate to next generation eLearning with the content you have now.

Competency Management

NextGen content is explicitly tied to skills, knowledge, regulatory requirements, and learning objectives (together known as competencies). Eduworks can provide a solution that manages these competencies and enables their use throughout the entire eLearning lifecycle by authoring tools, learning management, content management, and other systems across your organizatio.
