Our established design leadership means your courses are built for learning
Our core design team has over 60 years of experience in writing, graphic design, user interface and web design, usability testing, instructional design and distance education technology. We have experience in developing both self-paced and mentored-learning solutions. That means you can be sure that we will develop the right solution for your training needs.
Our experienced team will analyze your needs and work with you to develop a high-quality learning solution. This solution will combine creativity and functionality in a rich learning experience that will meet your learning objectives. Our courses are recognized for their design quality. For example, Samantha Chapnick, ASTD Learning Circuits columnist, calls our Graphic Design Course "truly exceptional" [read review].
All of these solutions are delivered quickly, accurately and at competitive prices. Check out our design portfolio and judge our design solutions for yourself!
Our SCORM standards leadership helps you avoid e-learning technology traps
Online Learning is a leader in learning standards activities such as SCORM, IMS, XML and MetaData. For example, the Department of National Defense contracted us to work with them on several SCORM white papers and to implement a sample course using the latest SCORM standards.
We are an approved ADL SCORM Adopter and all of our courses are SCORM 1.2 compliant. All of this means that your e-learning course will be built so that it isn't locked into a single Learning Management platform and won't be made obsolete by emerging standards.
Our powerful e-learning tools and processes save you time and money
Online Learning has invested in tools and processes. We use a learner-centered design process and employ powerful authoring tools that allow us to increase the quality of the learning experience while controlling costs. Our course authoring tool allows us to easily "style" — rather than program — interactive features like quizzes, interactive text boxes, drag-and-drop exercises, point-and-click exercises, table of contents, glossaries and indexes. This means that you can offer your students a richer, more interactive learning experience at substantial savings.
Our established academic relationships ensure your course is state-of-the-art
Online Learning has established strong relationships with universities in Canada and the United States. Our company was founded by Dr. Paul Beam from the University of Waterloo. Carleton University in Canada and Ohio University in the United States accredit the courses that we teach in our online education division. These relationships ensure that we stay out in front of emerging learning trends.
Our proven track record helps you avoid costly mistakes
Online Learning has been teaching online since 1995. Unlike many course development companies, we practice what we preach by delivering online courses each and every day. We've learned what works! And what doesn't. Now you can put that experience to work on your e-learning projects.
We can offer you a potential new revenue stream
Unlike any other course development company, Online Learning may be interested in selling your course. Depending on the content you plan to develop, Online Learning may be interested in partnering with you to offer your course to the general public through a revenue sharing arrangement. You win in two ways. You have the potential to turn an expense activity into a revenue-generating activity while we share the course development costs.
