What are the advantages of off-the-shelf eLearning?

There are many benefits to using off-the-shelf eLearning, including:

  • Cost-effectiveness: Off-the-shelf eLearning is often less expensive than custom-built eLearning, as it does not require the same level of time and resources to create.
  • Quick implementation: Ready-made courses can be deployed rapidly, saving time and effort.
  • Broad range of topics: There is a vast selection of off-the-shelf courses available, covering various subjects. We have a growing catalogue of over 80 courses to choose from.
  • Create bespoke programs: You can plug online courses into your existing development initiatives for a blended learning approach or design a fully online program.
  • Flexibility: Off-the-shelf eLearning can be accessed on any device, which gives learners the flexibility to learn at their own pace and time.
  • Scalability: Off-the-shelf eLearning can be scaled to meet the needs of any organisation, from small businesses to large enterprises.
What are the limitations of off-the-shelf eLearning?

There are some potential limitations to bear in mind when choosing off-the-shelf eLearning. These include:

  • Lack of customisation: The content is not tailored to address specific organisational needs.
  • Limited flexibility: Off-the-shelf courses may not align perfectly with your company's branding, policies, or industry-specific requirements.
  • Generic content: Off-the-shelf eLearning is not tailored to the specific type of business and environment of the learners.
  • Limited control: You have limited control over updates to the course content.
What should I consider when choosing an off-the-shelf eLearning provider?

When selecting an off-the-shelf eLearning provider, it’s important to consider the following factors:

  • Quality of content: Review sample courses and assess the provider's instructional design, interactivity, and multimedia elements.
  • Customisation options: Determine if the provider allows any level of customisation, such as branding or content modifications.
  • Support and updates: Inquire about technical support, ongoing updates, and access to new course releases.
  • Pricing and licensing: Understand the provider's pricing model, licensing terms, and any additional fees associated with the courses.
