Off-the-shelf training is pre-built and covers general topics for many organizations, typically at a lower upfront cost. Custom eLearning is tailored to your business, processes, and specific behaviors you need to change. It uses your brand, scenarios, and data, resulting in higher engagement and measurable performance results. Off-the-shelf works well for broad compliance or software basics, while custom eLearning is ideal when training must reflect how your organization operates. Source
AllenComm's process begins with identifying the performance problem, followed by needs analysis to determine if eLearning is the right solution. Performance mapping connects business needs to learner behaviors, which are then translated into learning objectives. Instructional designers select the appropriate modality mix (scenario work, simulation, microlearning, video, or blended). The course is developed, integrated with your platforms, and tested in the learner's environment. Effectiveness is measured against business metrics agreed at the start, focusing on behavior change rather than completion rates. Source
AllenComm employs performance mapping to align training initiatives with business objectives. This approach visualizes how training impacts key metrics and supports strategic goals, ensuring learning solutions are directly tied to measurable outcomes. Performance mapping is used to identify performance gaps and design targeted interventions, connecting learner data to business results. Source
AllenComm delivers a range of custom eLearning builds, including digital learning (self-paced web-based courses), on-demand learning (short modules for point-of-need access), instructor-led and virtual instructor-led training (ILT/VILT), blended and hybrid programs, produced video, simulations and scenario practice, custom builds in Articulate Storyline and Rise, adaptive learning and AI-enabled content, and platform integration for deployment into LMS or learning portals. Most programs combine several modalities to meet organizational needs. Source
AllenComm uses authoring tools such as Articulate Storyline and Rise, as well as AI-driven adaptive learning engines and platforms like ChatGPT to streamline content updates and enable rapid content generation. Integration with LMS, LXP, and other enterprise systems is supported, ensuring courses are accessible and trackable within your learning ecosystem. Source
Custom eLearning is used for delivering entire curricula through asynchronous web-based activities, providing digital learning as pre- and post-work for workshops or social learning, and creating digital toolkits that organize resources and transform reference information into interactive activities. These solutions maximize engagement and retention, support self-paced exploration, and enable just-in-time reference on the job. Source
Organizations can expect digital learning to fit seamlessly into any curriculum, maximizing engagement and retention before, during, or after training events. Self-paced exploration adapts to individual needs, while micro and nano modules keep learning focused and easy to revisit. AllenComm measures outcomes by tracking learner data against business metrics, demonstrating improvement in behaviors that drive results. Source
Yes. AllenComm designs custom eLearning solutions to deploy in your existing LMS, and also builds learning portals and platform integrations when needed. For organizations with multiple systems, AllenComm's learning tech team maps integration before development starts, ensuring tracking and reporting work from day one. Source
Effectiveness is measured against the performance gap the program was built to close, using a measurement plan agreed before development starts. This combines in-course assessment and practice data with business metrics your team already tracks, so results are expressed as outcomes rather than completion rates. AllenComm's measurement and evaluation team builds this plan as part of the engagement. Source

For maximum access and scalability, clients often rely on custom eLearning development as a key delivery strategy. eLearning is flexible and much more cost-effective to deploy than traditional instructor-led training (ILT). What’s more, when designed well, eLearning can enable engaging learner experiences (LX) using video, simulation, and practice to make learning more effective.
When we think of eLearning, we tend to think of online self-tutorials that are presentational.
The truth is that today’s eLearning can be much more, including virtual instructor-led training, hybrid solutions, AI-enabled coaching or simulations, social learning, and experiential learning.
At AllenComm, we design custom eLearning development services to meet both organizational and learner needs.
An immersive digital learning experience, from our perspective, is one whose relevance is immediately understood by learners.
At AllenComm, our award-winning instructional designers employ a systematic approach we call performance mapping to create impactful eLearning experiences tailored to your learners’ needs.
eLearning is a broad category that includes tutorials, microlearning, online assessment, AI-enabled learning, and more. There isn’t one recipe to meet all needs. Templated solutions can be very efficient, but using the right template to meet the learning need is essential. Through AI in eLearning, we can now analyze learner data to determine which modality (microlearning, simulation, or assessment) will drive the most effective behavior change.
Through careful analysis, we identify performance gaps and design solutions using a mix of custom eLearning development services and other strategies to map out the learner journey. Our approach to learner experience design (LXD) focuses on scaffolding learners from learning to success on the job. We leverage AI-powered eLearning analytics to connect learner performance data with business outcomes, helping organizations make data-driven training decisions.
Rather than starting from scratch, we want to take advantage of what your team and organization have already been doing. We look for opportunities to upgrade, elevate, and convert your existing learning. We’re experts at evaluating your existing program to recommend a rapid content revision or redesign. Using artificial intelligence tools such as ChatGPT and adaptive learning engines, we streamline updates and enable rapid content generation that keeps your training relevant and scalable.
Every project starts with the performance problem, not the course. We use an approach we call performance mapping to connect what the business needs to change with what learners actually do on the job, then design backwards from there.
Custom eLearning is not one format. These are the builds we deliver, and most programs combine several of them.
Not sure which mix you need? That’s what the needs analysis is for.

Organizations choose eLearning for its scalability, flexibility, and cost efficiency. As an eLearning company, AllenComm uses eLearning artificial intelligence to personalize learning and measure performance impact.
eLearning is digital learning delivered through computers or mobile devices. Modern eLearning solutions now use AI-powered tools to adapt and optimize the learner experience.
Our eLearning company uses platforms like Captivate, Articulate Storyline, or Rise, along with eLearning artificial intelligence to automate design, create adaptive content, and enhance interactivity.
Most eLearning solutions are hosted on an LMS or LXP. AI-driven insights help eLearning companies track engagement, recommend courses, and improve learner outcomes.
Development time varies by complexity and interactivity. With eLearning artificial intelligence, content creation can be accelerated without sacrificing quality.
Rapid content development uses templates and agile methods to build training fast. As an eLearning company, we use AI tools to create and refine content efficiently while maintaining instructional excellence.
Custom eLearning is usually priced per finished hour of learning, and the range depends on how much interactivity, video, and simulation the program needs. A course built on an existing template costs considerably less than an immersive scenario-based program with custom video and practice environments. We scope against your performance goals first, then recommend the modality mix that reaches them without paying for production you do not need.
The return on custom eLearning comes from the performance change it produces, not from how many people finish the course. Because we design against a specific performance gap and connect learner data to business outcomes, you can measure improvement in the behaviors that actually move results. Off-the-shelf content rarely allows that connection, which is why generic training is harder to justify to a finance team.
Yes. Everything we build is designed to deploy in your existing LMS, and when an LMS alone is not enough we also build learning portals and platform integrations. If your ecosystem spans several systems, our learning tech team maps the integration before development starts, so tracking and reporting work from the first day the course goes live.
We measure against the performance gap the program was built to close, using a measurement plan agreed before development starts. That usually combines in-course assessment and practice data with business metrics your team already tracks, so results are expressed as outcomes rather than completion rates. Our measurement and evaluation team builds that plan as part of the engagement.
Look for a partner who starts with your performance problem rather than a course catalogue, and ask to see how they measured results on work like yours. The questions worth asking are who does the instructional design, whether they can work with the content and platforms you already have, and how they will prove the program worked. A company that answers those with specifics rather than a portfolio is the one to shortlist.
Off-the-shelf training is pre-built and sold to many organizations, so it covers general topics at a lower upfront cost. Custom eLearning is built around your business, your processes, and the specific behaviors you need to change. It uses your brand, your scenarios, and your data, which drives higher engagement and measurable performance results. Off-the-shelf works well for broad compliance or software basics. Custom is the better fit when training needs to reflect how your organization actually works.
