Sourcing Off-The-Shelf e-Learning Content

A learning management system is never going to be effective without good content. Custom digital content, although the top choice, is expensive, so if your budget is limited, off-the-shelf is the way to go.

FUEL has its own library of generic content available to purchase, saving you the upfront cost of creating digital course content from scratch. Courses can be paid for on a per user/per annum basis, and our content is compatible with any LMS platform, not just FUEL Learn.

Suitability

Initially, you need to choose e-learning courses which apply to your immediate training requirements. Purchasing off-the-shelf courses can satisfy your short-term needs, giving you time to develop your own custom content.

Scalability

Consider the cost implications of scaling up your number of content users during the license period. Some suppliers, such as FUEL, provide the option of purchasing digital content outright.

Compatibility

Make sure the digital content you purchase is compliant with the learning management system you use, as there are a range of different standards. FUEL’s generic content has been produced for maximum compatibility.

If your staff use their own devices to access training, confirm these will run the content without any issues.

Quality

For best results, ensure the quality of the digital content. Demand high production values, good quality imagery, video and animated learning content. E-learning content must be engaging, visually compelling and professionally designed. FUEL’s generic course library has been professionally created, using the most effective production methodologies.
