eQualify offers a range of services, from traditional instructional design consultancy to the more innovative partner project services. See below for descriptions and opportunities.
E-Learning Strategy Consulting
Before you can make a move into online learning (and even if you have already been involved with it for some time) we believe that a strong e-learning strategy is key to optimising your success. Organisations and businesses need to understand where they are starting from, where they can be in 6 months, one year and beyond, taking account of their own unique market and industry, their learners, and their goals and budget. We will always start our discussions with you by understanding your e-learning strategy or helping you to develop solid strategies to ensure your success.
Educational Consulting
Taking your current face to face learning and creating engaging online courses and programmes is a challenge that we never get tired of. Whether you have some experience in online course delivery or are completely new to this kind of learning, we can assess your content for suitability online, work with you to develop it to its full potential or take it off your hands completely and present you with a finished product. We take a social constructivist approach to learning design and delivery, ensuring that learners are scaffolded throughout whilst building in both longevity and flexibility to allow you to make the transition in the best way possible.
Course and Programme Design
We have been teaching on and designing longer programmes of learning for over 25 years and it is something we really get excited about. This kind of learning offers a range of different opportunities for design as it usually involves cohorts of learners moving through courses together which means the options available in the design of the programme can be incredibly creative and engaging overall. Like courses, programmes can include lessons and content, quizzes, tracking and reporting, video conferencing, blended elements, discussions and more, but as programmes are typically linked courses working toward a final goal or award, there is more scope to integrate a larger range of activities and resources in the learning. Learning can be tied to extensive competency frameworks, learning plans, robust assessment strategies and more.
Partner Products
One of the unique services we offer is the opportunity to partner with us on a start to finish project. There are several starting points for this kind of project (which may be a course, a unit of CPD or a whole programme of learning). Alleviating the expensive up front costs for clients, this service will help you fully spec your project, design it, deliver it, host and support it and even manage your users. You might be an approved awarding Centre or body who is new to online learning or you may be an expert in your field and want to dip your toe into putting that expert knowledge to use by creating online learning products. If you have great content, we would love to talk further with you.
There are several starting points for this kind of project:
- we can start with your idea and help you to tease out the detail.
- we can start with a qualification you would like to offer as part of a governing body. You may or may not have offered this qualification already.
- we can start with your paper based content, assessing how and what you have been using in a face to face environment and working through how those learning goals and the content you have can transfer online
As part of our Partner Product service, we will host and support your online product for you, and we can even manage the users. The service can include:
- e-learning strategy assistance
- programme or course design
- hosting and management of the final product
- piloting the product
- user testing and feedback
- user management
- support
- reporting
- accolades (badges, certificates, etc)
User Management, Onboarding and reporting
Any final online course, programme or product needs to have robust feedback, quality reporting and user tracking and a smooth onboarding process for both learners and any internal staff that may be looking to manage them. We typically do all this for you as part of a package, but if you need help doing it yourself then we can assist.
Fully Managed LMS Hosting as part of the package
We build all of our products using the Moodle software. We are Moodle experts who have been using and working with Moodle since its inception. Any product we offer or partner to build can be presented on one of our eQualify fully managed systems, giving learners a robust, GDPR compliant and free mobile experience. Our managed service is hosted on UK servers by Moodle USA, our Moodle Partner.
