How to Create Custom eLearning Courses
With eLearning programs being rapidly implemented, many training and development professionals come to us for guidance on how to create their own custom eLearning content.
Follow these simple steps and you will be on your way in no time.
First
Find the materials you have been using in your live Training events
The good news is that eLearning Authoring tools are designed to take your existing PowerPoint presentations and turn them into custom eLearning material.
Next
Purchase a Rapid eLearning Authoring Tool
We really like working with Claro by Domiknow. Claro is a Web based authoring tool that produces eLearning in multiple formats including HTML5 so your Custom eLearning Courses will play on all devices including iPads. One big advantage of Claro is your team can collaborate in multiple locations to produce custom eLearning material as Claro is Web based.

Then
Import your PowerPoint into Claro
One great thing about Web based tools is that there many video tutorials available to show you the ropes. So don’t panic! All is well. Then you want to add test questions. Not to worry, this is easy and straightforward and lots of tutorials available if you get stuck.
At this point you could actually push the publish button. WARNING! Don’t do this. Everyone will hate you because your custom eLearning Course will be painfully boring.
Why?
Because it won’t have your charming self presenting the material to add interest and excitement.
So, you need to add animations to make stuff move around. Don’t panic! Lots of tutorials available.
Also, you should add vocal tracks as well. If you want to get fancy – and I know you do – you should also add background music to add depth to your content.
You can actually download background music for free at Soundcloud.

Finally
Now it’s OK to Push the Publish button
From there, upload your custom eLearning course to your LMS. If you don’t have a LMS, we can help with that also.
