Subject matter experts (SMEs) are the backbone of eLearning content creation, yet outdated processes frequently stifle their expertise. If you are looking for a better way to capture and transform your SMEs’ knowledge into accessible and compelling eLearning courseware, take a look at CourseAvenue.
The SME eLearning Authoring Process is Broken!
Hours of meetings between Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) and course developers can drag on for weeks or even months. These meetings focus on distilling and converting “raw content” into “educational content.” Transforming dull subject matter into engaging e-learning experiences is time-consuming and costly, especially for Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) lacking instructional design knowledge.
Most eLearning authoring tools require authors to understand Section 508/WCAG standards. The complexity of compliance makes it challenging for anyone other than seasoned programmers to produce accessible elearning content. So how can you help subject matter experts create accessible courseware…at scale?
Improve the process and make accessible eLearning the norm rather than an afterthought.
Transforming the deep expertise of subject matter experts (SMEs) into engaging, accessible, and instructionally sound eLearning content is key to capturing the value of institutional knowledge. CourseAvenue makes this transformation effortless for SMEs.
CourseAvenue caters to non-technical users with its intuitive design. SMEs can easily navigate the platform to create high-quality eLearning content without needing extensive training. This simplicity lets SMEs focus on sharing their knowledge, not wrestling with complicated software.
Creating accessible eLearning content can be tricky. CourseAvenue tackles this challenge by integrating built-in accessibility features that automatically comply with Section 508 and WCAG standards. This means SMEs can produce accessible content seamlessly, without needing to master accessibility rules.
Prevent Accessibility Errors
To prevent publishing elearning content that contains Section 508 errors, CourseAvenue provides a cutting-edge feature that ensures Section 508 compliance and accessibility standards are met before content is published. An automatic auditing process scans your elearning content to identify accessibility issues, enabling proactive remediation of non-compliant content. This ensures that e-learning content meets Section 508 standards before publication, reducing the risk of legal non-compliance.
Accelerated eLearning Content Creation
CourseAvenue uses generative AI to turn raw content—like audit findings, reports, and handbooks—into instructionally sound courseware. This AI-driven process speeds up eLearning authoring, letting SMEs concentrate on refining content rather than starting from scratch.
Cost-Free Remediation Support
What happens if my course fails a Section 508 review? If CourseAvenue content fails an accessibility audit, we’ll help you fix it. CourseAvenue’s team works directly with authors and reviewers to fix any issues at no extra cost. No need for your SMEs to be WCAG experts.
