In this article i will share with students the most comprehensive guide about the top elearning development phases school or university project. These are the most useful development phases to create an amazing elearning course.
Discovery
Meet with the client, Find out what they want in an ideal elearning course. Whose is the audience ? define a course mission statement for the course in general.
You will also need a mission statement for each lesson in the course. Will the course require accessibility? audio? will it need to be localized? what kind of hardware will students be using to access the course ?
Design
which tool will you be using to develop the content (captivate, PowerPoint, presenter, storyline, or perhaps a combination of a couple tools )? Instructional design, a graphical treatment, and navigational choices are now made and implemented
Writing or Story-boarding
now that you have chosen a production tool and decided the overall design of the course, you will need to plot out the flow of the course and write a script and storyboard. if the course includes voice over audio, you will need a separate (and different) script for that.
Production
now it’s time to get busy with the development work in the selected tool. This includes everything right upto the point of publishing. You will also beta test the lessons in this phase as they are completed.
Clients Approval
You’re almost there but, before project completion, you will need to get your client’s approval. Depending upon how this goes, you may need to repeat parts of steps two, three and four.
Publishing and Implementation
This includes not only publishing localy, but uploading the content to a web server or LMS ( SCORM or AICC). Be sure to allow time to work out bugs in this phase.
Maintenance
You did a great job: But sometimes changes and updates are necessary. This phase includes making updates to the content and re-posting to the LMS or web server.
