How to Create Custom eLearning Courses for the Restaurant Industry
With eLearning programs being rapidly implemented in the Restaurant Business, 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 PowerPoint slides you have been using in your live Restaurant Training events
 The good news is that eLearning Authoring tools are designed to take your existing PowerPoint presentations and turn them into 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 Restaurant eLearning Courses will play on all devices including iPads. One big advantage of Claro is your team can collaborate in multiple locations to produce 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 Restaurant 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.

Push the “Publish’ button
From there, upload to your LMS. If you don’t have a LMS, we can help with that also.
