How long does it take to develop an eLearning module or video?

Project timelines generally range from 4-8 weeks, depending on the course’s complexity and interactivity level. Simple modules may take a few weeks, while more intricate, interactive courses require additional time. Once we review your content, the Stratbeans team will provide a timeline estimate within 1-2 days.

Do you provide voiceover services for eLearning videos?

Yes, Stratbeans offers professional voiceover services in multiple languages to enhance accessibility and engagement in eLearning videos.

What are MP4 explainer videos, and how are they used in eLearning?

MP4 explainer videos are short bite-size engaging videos used to explain concepts, products, or processes clearly and concisely. These videos can include animations, voiceovers, and infographics, making them ideal for quick product overviews, tutorials, or process demonstrations in eLearning modules.

Can Stratbeans create interactive simulations for eLearning?

Stratbeans specializes in developing interactive simulations that let learners practice real-world scenarios safely. This approach is especially beneficial for software process training, where hands-on experience is essential.

What are some examples of eLearning videos Stratbeans has developed?

Stratbeans has developed eLearning videos across industries for purposes such as product training, compliance training, induction, soft skills development, and leadership programs. We provide examples on request to demonstrate the variety and quality of our video content.

Will we receive the source files for the eLearning content?

Yes, Stratbeans provides and hands over the source files for the developed custom eLearning content, enabling customers to store and manage these files in their repository for future updates. Stratbeans does not retain source files and deletes them periodically once the handover is complete.

What is the difference between SCORM eLearning and MP4 video development?

SCORM eLearning: SCORM-compliant courses are interactive and trackable within a Learning Management System (LMS). They can include multimedia elements like quizzes, assessments, animations, and allow for navigation, branching scenarios, and interactivity. Learners’ progress and completion status are tracked, providing detailed analytics and reporting within the LMS. 

MP4 Video Development: MP4 videos are concise, bite-sized learning or explainer videos that offer straightforward, linear content, often with animations, voiceovers, and visual aids but without interactive elements. Unlike SCORM courses, MP4 videos generally aren’t trackable in most LMSs, so learner progress or completion status can’t be monitored. They’re ideal for quick explanations, concept overviews, and one-way content delivery. MP4 explainer videos are also suited for rapid learning, providing scenario-based content, product explanations, or process overviews in a clear, visual format that simplifies complex topics without requiring interactivity.

What are the benefits of eLearning compared to traditional classroom training?

eLearning offers flexibility and scalability, allowing learners to engage anytime, anywhere. It also enables consistent content delivery, self-paced learning, and detailed tracking of learner progress, making it a powerful tool for diverse training needs.

What types of eLearning modules can Stratbeans develop?

Stratbeans can develop a range of eLearning modules tailored to your organization, including product training, onboarding, compliance, sales training, and soft skills development.

What kind of multimedia elements can be added to eLearning modules and videos?

Stratbeans can incorporate animations, infographics, voiceovers, background music, and interactive features such as quizzes to enhance learner engagement.

Can Stratbeans help us create multilingual eLearning content?

Stratbeans specializes in multilingual eLearning to support diverse audiences and ensure effective learning across regions. Our team includes professional translators and voiceover artists to meet your language and localization needs.

Can Stratbeans integrate eLearning modules into our existing LMS?

What post-development support does Stratbeans offer?

Stratbeans provides ongoing support for content updates, technical assistance, and maintenance to keep your eLearning content effective and current.

 

What is SCORM compliance, and why is it important for eLearning content?

SCORM (Sharable Content Object Reference Model) compliance ensures that eLearning content integrates smoothly with different LMS platforms, allowing tracking, reporting, and consistent learning experiences.

What is the difference between Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 eLearning content?

Level 1 eLearning is basic with minimal interactivity, mainly text-based with images and simple quizzes. 

Level 2 eLearning includes more multimedia elements like audio, animations, and interactivity such as decision-making scenarios. 

Level 3 eLearning is highly interactive with simulations, gamified elements, and complex branching scenarios, offering immersive learning experiences.

Do you create courses that can run on mobile and tablet?

Yes, Stratbeans designs mobile-responsive courses to provide a seamless experience across devices, ensuring accessibility on phones, tablets, and desktops.

How do you ensure that eLearning content is engaging for learners?
