Online Course Development

Client

The Innovation and Scaling team of CGIAR and Wageningen University and Research.

Brief

To project manage and develop content for an entirely online eLearning course in Innovation and Scaling. This included consultancy and oversight on eLearning packages, support to academics and scientists in rewriting content for an online audience, management of third party suppliers and digital content creation.

What we did

Working with our client’s team we established a curriculum for the eLearning course.  We helped our clients navigate the wealth of content they had for deliver in-person lectures, conferences and papers, in order to reuse what we could online. Once we had established what we wanted to deliver, why, and to whom, we could support them through selecting the right eLearning package for their needs.

From there we went on to work with them, writing lecture scripts, reading articles and building case studies. We also got heavily involved in content creation, delivering and illustrating all the online lectures.

Finally, we built the course in the eLearning software incorporating all the content created, including analytics and tracking so we could monitor course performance.

We continue to work with CGIAR creating translations of the course content, consulting on wider Capacity Development in Innovatiaon and Scaling and working with other teams as they create their own digital content.

Outcome

The course speaks for itself: you can see and/or take the course in it’s entirety by registering here innovationandscaling.thinkific.com.

We hit over 1000 enrolments in the first month, with this number continuing to grow. Not only has the course been a runaway success in it’s own right, it provides an excellent evidence base for and appetite for increased capacity development in this area.
