If you need a combined approach, our blended learning development services align live and on-demand formats into one cohesive program.
What is course content development?
Course content development is the process of designing and writing training materials that support learning. These materials can include scripts, case studies, instructor guides, participant workbooks, and online modules. Most importantly, each piece is built to educate your audience clearly and effectively.
Our development approach is grounded in learning science. Therefore, we select strategies that help learners retain information and apply it on the job. For example, we use plain language, chunk information into small steps, and provide spaced practice. Together, these practices reduce cognitive load and increase recall.
We focus on three priorities: instructional clarity, learning outcomes, and knowledge transfer. These priorities guide every asset we create—from the first outline to the final deliverables. Consequently, learners gain confidence in what they’ve learned and how to use it at work.
What types of content do we develop?
We create many types of courseware, depending on your delivery method and learning objectives. Common deliverables include:
- Course scripts—Narration for e-learning or instructor-led training (ILT)
- Case studies—Realistic scenarios that reinforce application and judgment
- Participant workbooks—Activities to support guided or self-paced learning
- Facilitator guides—Outlines, timing, and tips for effective delivery
- Training manuals—Comprehensive content for long-form learning
- Quizzes and assessments—Tools to measure retention and identify gaps
In addition, we design slide decks, job aids, and reference tools that support day-to-day work. When needed, we also build SCORM, AICC, or xAPI packages for smooth LMS reporting.
Every deliverable is crafted to meet your unique training situation. You may need digital content for a global audience. Alternatively, you might need printed workbooks for in-person workshops. Either way, we tailor the structure and voice so learning feels relevant and easy to follow.
Have legacy materials? We can revise, rebrand, or modernize existing content. Many clients bring us training that no longer meets their needs. Accordingly, we rebuild it to align with updated goals, new technologies, and today’s learners. If formats are outdated, our content conversion services move files into your current templates or LMS.
Our development workflow at a glance
- Discovery—We clarify goals, audience, constraints, and success metrics.
- Design—We outline modules, define objectives, and choose interactions.
- Draft—We create scripts, activities, and assessments for early review.
- Develop—We build polished assets and prepare LMS or print files.
- Review—You test the materials; we iterate quickly with tracked changes.

Our workflow is highly collaborative. We keep stakeholders involved from needs analysis to final review. This reduces rework and keeps projects on schedule. When timing is tight, we phase delivery so pilots launch quickly while the full course builds in parallel.
Who we support
We’ve developed course content for organizations in many industries. Common examples include:
- Corporate training and onboarding—Role ramp-up, systems, and culture
- Government and compliance—Policy, security, and accessibility
- Healthcare—Clinical workflows, safety, and patient experience
- Energy—Oil, gas, renewables, and field safety

- Software—Product enablement and customer education
- Financial services—AML, privacy, and operational accuracy
Our writers translate industry-specific language into plain terms. Consequently, learners understand content faster and apply it with confidence.
What is our course development process?
Our process starts with discovery. We review your goals, audience, and existing materials. If needed, we conduct a learning needs assessment to clarify content gaps and priorities.
Next, we create a course outline and define clear objectives. Then we draft content that aligns with those goals. Each stage includes quick reviews to ensure accuracy, clarity, and brand alignment. For a deeper look, visit our course content development process.
How long does it take to develop a course?
Timelines vary by scope. A short instructor-led course may take three to four weeks. A multimedia e-learning program could take two to three months. We can also work on rolling releases so teams start training sooner while additional modules are building.

How we build content that drives learning
Effective training starts with strong objectives. We define what success looks like, then write content that supports those outcomes. After that, we reinforce concepts with practice and feedback.
We use active voice, break topics into digestible sections, and add checks for understanding. In addition, we include review tools so learners can track progress and see growth. When courses require structure across formats, we align with blended learning best practices to maintain consistency.
To guide our approach, we draw on models like andragogy theory and other learning science frameworks. These help us design content that meets adult learners where they are—respecting their time and experience.
Measurement, accessibility, and localization
From the start, we plan for measurement. Quizzes, practice tasks, and surveys reveal where learners succeed and where they need support. If you deliver online, xAPI or SCORM events track progress and completion for reporting.
We also design for inclusion. Clear language, readable layouts, alt text, transcripts, and keyboard navigation improve access. When you need translated versions, we prepare exportable text and region-specific examples. This keeps localization faster and more accurate.
Modernizing and maintaining your library
Training needs change. We build modular content. This way, you can update a policy page, a slide, or a quiz without reworking the entire course. If your files live in older tools, our content conversion services migrate them into current formats and branded templates.
If your project also requires editorial support, we can coordinate with our copyediting services to improve clarity and consistency. We can also use our broader editing services for style and structure.
