Tips to choose the best e-learning development company for your project

Developing an e-learning solution in house is an expensive task as you have to maintain an internal team of instructional designers, developers and content writers and this will add to the management headaches.



Therefore, access to experienced e-learning development company will help in rapid completion, less management headaches, cost savings, quicker turnaround time and many more. But how can you choose the best e-learning company for your project? Here I have discussed some of the most important areas that you need to carefully evaluate:


E-Learning Background:

e-learning development is not only a tech related job, but it is a highly skillful work that requires a clear understanding of not only the e-learning tools, but also the learning preferences, business goals and the needs of the learners. It is only a trained professional having skills who can provide the real values. Unless e-learning development is their core business, they won’t be able to deliver quality output to you.

Since such development needs the involvement of the instructional designers, visual designers, SMEs, testing experts and also authoring tools, it is only a professional company that can help offer you the best service. So partner with an e-learning company that is professional and has been in the business for the past many years.


Project Management and Process:

Any e-learning project development will need adherence to the principals of project management and while looking for a vendor, hire someone who has well established project management tools and processes and have a team to use those. You will need periodic reviews, status updates, demos and so your vendor should have a proper setup to facilitate all these.



Quality Assurance:

Quality of the project is also a prime concern, but it is hard to know about the quality. But you can look at the past work samples, demos of their work and have an idea about the quality and the systems what your vendor may offer. Some other aspects of quality checks in case of e-learning projects are linguistic testing, technical appropriateness and also the quality of the content.


Flexibility and Scaling:

Outsourcing your e-learning development needs to a small company may give you a cost benefit, but you may be at a high risk of essentially depending on a couple of people. Ideally, your development partner should give you the flexibility to scale up or down based on your needs within a very short notice and there should not be a strong dependence on any one person on the team. Getting the right person on the job should not be your concern.


Licensed Software

In order to avoid any legal troubles because of your eLearning service provider’s non adherence to compliance, ensure that your vendor has the licensed copies of the tools and technologies and also access to licensed images. You can also check the LMS platform that the vendor uses for certifying or checking the course compliance.
