Custom eLearning Development Solutions to Drive Performance

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.

• All eLearning Is Not the Same

   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.

• Focus on Performance

   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.

• Leverage What Works

   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.

1. Needs analysis. We identify the performance gap, who it affects, and what is getting in the way. This is also where we decide whether eLearning is the right answer at all.
2. Performance mapping. We map the behaviours that close the gap and turn them into learning objectives, so every part of the course exists for a reason.
3. Design. Our instructional designers choose the modality mix — scenario work, simulation, microlearning, video, or a blend — based on what those objectives require.
4. Development. We build the course, integrate it with your platforms, and test it in the environment your learners will actually use.
5. Measurement. We track learner data against the business metrics agreed at the start, so you can see whether behaviour changed, not just whether people finished.

Custom eLearning is not one format. These are the builds we deliver, and most programs combine several of them.

• Digital learning — self-paced web-based courses, the format most people mean by eLearning.
• On-demand learning — short modules learners pull up at the point of need rather than working through in one sitting.
• ILT and VILT — instructor-led and virtual instructor-led sessions, including converting existing classroom material.
• Blended and hybrid — programs mixing self-paced work with live sessions and on-the-job practice.
• Video — produced video built into the learning rather than bolted on afterwards.
• Simulations and scenario practice — safe environments to rehearse the decisions the job actually requires.
• Articulate Storyline and Rise — custom builds in the authoring tools your team already knows, so you can maintain them after launch.
• Adaptive learning and AI — content that adjusts to what each learner already knows.
• Platform integration — deployment into your LMS, learning portal, or wider learning tech stack.

Not sure which mix you need? That’s what the needs analysis is for.

• An entire curriculum delivered through asynchronous web-based activities, complete with assessments and integrated media as necessary.
• Digital learning as pre- and post-work for synchronous workshops or social learning activities, setting the stage with foundational understanding.
• Digital toolkits that organize supplementary resources, documents, and links, or transform reference information into interactive activities.

• Digital learning slots seamlessly into any curriculum to maximize engagement and retention, before, during, or after the main training event.
• Self-paced exploration that flexes to meet individual needs and preferences, honoring where each learner is starting from.
• Micro and nano modules keep learning laser-focused, memorable, and easy to revisit, enabling just-in-time reference on the job.
