Developer's Toolkit

Customized authoring solutions

Created through a consultative process between LearnSomething and a client, the Developer’s Toolkit provides the necessary structure and design elements to create a curriculum in LearnSomething’s LearnPro+ (LMS) or Isoph Blue (LCMS).

Based on the client’s existing content and eLearning business needs, the Developer’s Toolkit can be created for a third-party authoring tool, Isoph Instructor, or a combination of both.

Templates and guidelines for consistent, easy authoring…

Looking for consistency across multiple course authors? The Developer’s Toolkit serves as a “blueprint” for course design and development. Instead of creating eLearning courses by “trial and error” — time consuming and frustrating! — the Developer’s Toolkit allows members of the education team to easily and quickly author effective courses that meet audience needs and address business goals.

Some clients have subject matter experts (SMEs) who provide the education team with content to be converted to eLearning. The Developer’s Toolkit contains a template and guidelines for the SMEs, ensuring the education team receives the content in a consistent manner easily converted to eLearning.
