Learning Content Curation and Authoring

AllenComm’s design and development solutions typically include supporting services for content curation and authoring. The quality of an instructional approach and of the learning content are mutually dependent. Expert content curation and development involves the careful review and analysis of available content resources, meetings with subject-matter experts (SMEs), discussions with end-users and representative learners, etc. The goal is to identify and curate the content that will best support the learning objectives identified as part of either performance consulting or the upfront design. After curation, instructional designers and writers will author specific learning activities such as scenarios or simulations. As the content is tested with learners, it can be further refined before being delivered as part of a learner journey to build capabilities 

With AllenComm, you get a multi-disciplinary team in which instructional designers and writers collaborate with learning consultants, creative services, and tech experts team to bring you award-winning solutions. Our designers and writers also develop learning content across a range of industries—healthcare, manufacturing, finance, and high tech—to meet critical business needs for onboarding, compliance, leadership, sales enablement, and skills development.
