Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about our e-learning services, authoring tools, and project workflows.
The development of an e-learning course usually follows a structured process that combines learning methods, design and technical aspects.
Typical steps are:
1. Analysis of learning objectives
First, the content to be taught and the target audience are defined.
2. Methodical concept
The content is structured and translated into a meaningful learning logic. Interactions, exercises and knowledge checks are also planned.
3. Storyboard and design
In this phase, the structure of the course is determined, the media to be used are selected, and the visual presentation of the content is decided.
4. Course production
The content is implemented in an authoring tool. Depending on the concept, this may involve videos, animations, simulations or interactive tasks.
5. Testing and integration
The finished course is tested and then integrated into a learning management system (LMS).
A professional e-learning course combines clear methods, understandable content and a good user experience so that learners can absorb content efficiently and sustainably.
Choosing the right e-learning agency depends on several factors. Above all, it is important that the agency has both didactic expertise and technical and design experience.
When making your selection, it is worth paying attention to the following points:
Experience with similar projects or industries
Methodical expertise in preparing complex content
Technical expertise in authoring tools and LMS integration
Ability to produce various media formats such as WBTs, videos or animations
Structured project and production process
It is equally important to find an agency that is open to new technologies and can adapt to existing systems and tools within the company.
Ultimately, the agency should not only produce content, but also support you in developing a sustainable learning strategy and a functional learning environment.
There are various authoring tools that can be used to create digital learning content. The most suitable tool depends on the requirements of a particular project. Common authoring tools used in e-learning include:
Articulate Storyline and Rise (Articulate 360)
Knowledgeworker Create
Adapt
Lectora
iSpring
H5P
Each tool has different strengths, for example in terms of interactivity, scalability, template-based work or collaborative content production.
Therefore, it is not so much the individual tool that is important, but rather the question of which solution best suits a company’s content strategy, team and technical infrastructure. This is exactly where we can support you – from selecting suitable tools to implementing learning content.
An e-learning agency supports companies in digitally preparing learning content and communicating it effectively. The aim is to make knowledge scalable, understandable and accessible in the long term.
Typical services provided by an e-learning agency include:
Methodical design of learning programmes
Development of web-based training (WBT)
Production of learning videos, animations and interactive content
Consulting on learning strategies and learning architectures
Technical integration into learning management systems (LMS)
We accompany you throughout the entire learning journey – from the initial idea to the concept and the finished learning solution.
Learning success can be measured in various ways, for example through:
Knowledge checks within the learning modules
Final tests or certifications
Tracking learning progress in the LMS
Analysis of usage data and learning paths
This enables companies to understand how effective training measures are.
Yes. Many companies digitise existing training materials such as presentations, PDFs or classroom training courses.
In doing so, content is restructured methodically and converted into interactive learning modules. This often results in web-based training courses, microlearning formats or learning videos.
E-learning enables companies to provide learning content in a flexible and scalable manner.
Typical advantages include:
Learning anywhere, anytime
Consistent training quality
Easy updating of content
Measurability of learning success
Scalability for large target groups
However, the ideal didactic approach is a combination of face-to-face and digital training in so-called blended learning concepts.
Web-based training is a digital learning course that is accessed online via a browser or learning management system.
WBTs often consist of a combination of:
Text and visualisations
Interactive tasks
Videos or animations
Knowledge checks and tests
Interactivity and structured storytelling allow learners to work through content independently and at their own pace.
The development time for web-based training depends on several factors, such as the scope of the content and the desired interactions.
Typical projects often take between four and twelve weeks, although more complex learning programmes may require more time.
A clear content structure and a coordinated production process help to implement projects efficiently.
The cost of an e-learning course depends heavily on its scope, complexity and the desired media formats.
Important factors include, for example:
Length of the course
Number of interactions
Use of video, animation or 3D
Number of languages
Technical requirements
A simple web-based training course requires significantly less effort than a comprehensive learning programme with video and animation production. We usually provide an individual cost estimate based on the content and learning objectives. Please contact us for a quote.
The focus of our projects is in German-speaking countries.
However, we also work internationally and have already implemented projects for international companies.
Both are possible.
However, the focus of our work is on tailor-made learning solutions that are precisely tailored to content, target groups and learning objectives.
If required, we also work with templates or modular systems to make production processes more efficient.
In addition, together with our partner Brainfood Academy, we offer an extensive catalogue of soft skills and management training courses.
Yes. We have an established translation and localisation management system.
We combine professional translation processes with AI-supported workflows and native speakers to transfer content efficiently and consistently into multiple languages.
Our learning modules are produced in such a way that they can be easily used in common learning management systems.
Typical standards include, for example:
SCORM 1.2 or 2004
xAPI (Tin Can API)
HTML5-based content
These standards enable tracking, progress monitoring and reporting in the learning management system. We also support you with technical integration and testing of the content in the respective LMS.
Yes. We offer complete video production for e-learning.
This includes, for example:
Educational and explanatory videos
Animations
Motion design
Screencasts and software training
For special projects, we also work with long-standing partners for AR/VR productions and 3D visualisations.
Of course – we enable our customers to produce their own learning content.
In addition to producing learning content, we support companies in setting up their own content teams. Among other things, we offer:
Training for authoring tools
Development of templates and frameworks
Authoring guidelines and definition of workflows
Coaching for internal content teams
This enables companies to efficiently create their own learning content in the long term and become less dependent on external service providers.
Yes. We advise companies on selecting suitable authoring tools and help them set up a suitable production environment.
In doing so, we take into account, among other things:
existing systems
Technical infrastructure
content strategy
Internal production processes
User-friendliness of the tools
Our goal is to find a solution that works in the long term and is easily scalable.
We work with various popular authoring tools, including:
Knowledgeworker Create
Articulate 360 (Storyline, Rise)
Adapt
iSpring
Lectora
H5P
We have also developed our own frameworks for special requirements. We are fundamentally technology-independent. This means that the content determines the technology – not the other way around. Is your authoring tool not included in our list? Then we would be happy to learn more about it. We adapt to your way of working and also use tools that are already in use by our customers.
A typical project consists of several phases:
Analysis and consultation – clarification of learning objectives, target groups and framework conditions
Instruction design – structuring the content and developing the appropriate learning strategy
Design and storyboard – developing the learning logic, interactions and visualisation
Production – creation of modules, videos, animations or simulations
Integration – provision for LMS or other learning platforms
Testing and rollout – quality assurance and publication
This structured process ensures that content is implemented in a way that is both didactically meaningful and technically reliable. We have also established agile and AI-supported processes that enable us to achieve our goals quickly without compromising on quality.
We work across industries and develop e-learning solutions for companies and organisations of various sizes and in different fields.
The industries for which we regularly implement projects include:
Industry and production
Mechanical engineering and technology
Pharmaceuticals and life sciences
Energy and infrastructure
Finance and insurance
Trade and services
Science and research
Public institutions and organisations
The specific learning content ranges from safety and compliance topics to onboarding and product training to technical or scientific training. All learning solutions are individually tailored to the specific requirements of the industry and the company.
