The use of computer-based, web-based, online technology, (electronic learning or eLearning or mobile learning) to deliver employee or individual training content has become commonplace throughout the world.
- The key benefit of online learning is they can learn on their own, at their pace, even within the comfort of their homes or on the field.
- A growing trend in the learning community is the use of game mechanics to make learning activities more engaging, this is called Gamification.( learning through games).
- Through these types of activities, employees may earn “points” for completing tasks or reaching certain milestones, track their progress against others to exchange for rewards.
We can create eLearning solutions for publishing on various digital systems including uploading to Learning Management Systems-LMS.
- Let’s face it, the world is changing and learning technologies have changed the way we gather, interact, and train our teams.
- A practical approach to training any number of employees is with a blended approach of formal and informal learning techniques.
- TS4 Training offers services of creating and designing classroom training courses as well as eLearning courses bespoke to learners, trainers and business needs.

How much does it cost to build an e-learning course
Source: https://yourelearningworld.com/estimating-training-development-time-and-elearning-course-length/
When putting together cost estimates and preparing project plans instructional designers and eLearning project managers often find it difficult to correctly estimate the length of the course and the amount of time it takes to develop one.
While there is no exact formula that would help to make these estimates, most instructional designers believe that 50 slides or content screens equal 1 hour of eLearning, and a 10,000-word script is also equal to 1 hour of eLearning.
Now that we have a better idea as to what constitutes 1 hour of training, let’s look at the number of hours needed to develop 1 hour of eLearning.
These estimates would differ depending on the complexity of the eLearning module. Obviously, basic eLearning that does not have much if any interactions will take less time to develop than complex courses that contain high-level interactions and games.
Once the level of complexity has been determined instructional designers need to make a list of all the developmental tasks that need to be considered. Here are some of them:

Once the level of complexity has been determined instructional designers need to make a list of all the developmental tasks that need to be considered. Here are some of them:
Element to be used in e-learning |
|
Graphic and visual aids selection and editing |
--depending on the number of images that need to be located and edited, this task takes about 30 minutes per graphic. If you have at least one visual element on every screen, you can estimate about 25 hours for graphics |
Storyboarding the course |
--It roughly takes about one working day or 8 hours to completely storyboard 15 minutes of e-Learning. |
Building the course |
--between 30 minutes and 1.5 hours per page depending on the complexity of the course and the tool used to build it. Obviously, if you use a rapid e-Learning tool like Articulate, you will not need to dedicate as much time to building courses as you would if you use Flash or HTML5. |
Audio capturing and editing |
– between 5-8 hours for 1 hour of training |
Video recording and editing |
– between 5-8 hours for 1 hour of training |
Assessments design and development |
– this again depends on the number of questions and the tool you use to build your quizzes, but just to be safe, I suggest allocating about 30 minutes per question. |
Animations/interactions/activities development |
– this again depends on the tool you use and the number and complexity of interactions/animations. To get a better idea, I suggest using your own experience or consulting the person who will be developing these pieces for the course. |
