eLearning Development in Durham
Producing the course content itself for Durham organisations — the modules, assessments and interactions that go into a learning platform. It is instructional design rather than software, and the common failure is putting a slide deck online and expecting people to learn from it.
Why this comes up
The problem
Training gets converted by uploading the existing PowerPoint. Completion rates collapse, people click through without reading, and the organisation concludes online learning does not work for them.
What you get
What we deliver
- Learning objectives defined first, so content can be judged against something
- Modules built short enough to complete in one sitting rather than one long course
- Interaction and scenarios rather than passive reading, since recall depends on doing
- Assessments testing application, not whether someone remembered a slide
- Accessibility — captions, transcripts, keyboard navigation and readable contrast
- SCORM or xAPI packaging where the content must run in an existing platform

Durham's economy is dominated by its university and cathedral, so the commercial base is small and much of the local demand comes from spinouts and suppliers attached to the institutions rather than from independent industry.
Research spinout software and visitor systems, usually on institutional procurement timelines rather than commercial ones.

eLearning Development in Durham — common questions
- Can we just put our slides online?
- You can, and completion and recall will both be poor. Slides were built to support someone speaking; without the speaker they carry very little. Converting them properly means rewriting for self-paced learning rather than uploading.
- How long should a module be?
- Ten to twenty minutes, and shorter for deskless staff completing it on a phone. Long modules get abandoned partway, and progress within a module is usually lost when it is.
- Does accessibility apply to internal training?
- Yes. Employers have duties to make reasonable adjustments, and training that cannot be completed by someone with a hearing or visual impairment is a real problem rather than a technical omission. Captions and transcripts are the baseline.
- What is the difference between SCORM and xAPI?
- SCORM is the older standard and universally supported, tracking completion and scores. xAPI records richer detail and works outside a platform, but support is patchy. Unless you have a specific need, SCORM is the safer choice.
- Do you work with businesses across County Durham?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout North East, including Durham and the surrounding County Durham area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Durham businesses do you usually work with?
- Research spinout software and visitor systems, usually on institutional procurement timelines rather than commercial ones. Beyond that we work across Higher Education, Tourism & Heritage, Public Sector, Retail and Research.
- Do you cover the areas around Durham?
- Yes — we work throughout North East, including Newcastle, Sunderland, York. Durham is an urban area of roughly 70,000+, and we take on work across the wider County Durham region rather than the city boundary alone.
