Rapid e-Learning - Using Thesis Software

Have you looked at e-learning before and rejected it? Or are you looking over your current e-learning offering, your budgets and business requirements, and wondering if there’s a different and more cost effective way it can be done? In either case you’re not alone. For many organisations, e-learning has hit a stumbling point despite the significant advantages that it can offer. Like traditional learning, off the shelf titles can be too generic and miss the mark. Bespoke e-learning can cost too much, take too long to develop and when it’s completed the goalposts have moved and it no longer meets individuals and organisational needs.

Rapid e-learning is a response to many of these challenges. Rapid e-learning often involves an authoring tool where individuals within organisations can create their own e-learning packages from either internal or external content sources.

We’ve chosen to partner with THESIS Professional because we’ve found it one of the easiest and quickest tools to use for rapid e-learning content authoring. It enables you to prepare any web-presentable content for an e-learning platform, including tracking assessments and sequencing learning objects into customised courses. It includes functionality to turn Word, Excel and PowerPoint documents into pages of e-learning content, whilst maintaining formatting. This means that anyone who can use Word, Excel or PowerPoint, could use Thesis to create rapid e-learning.
