The Pitfalls of DIY Conversion of Documents Into e-Learning Courses

Why Outsourcing Document Conversion is the Answer

The benefits of using e-learning for organizations in terms of skills development are well-established. Therefore, it’s not surprising that companies are starting to consider online learning to deliver other materials – like onboarding, compliance, or guideline documents – that have traditionally been presented in trusty Word, PDF, or PPT formats.

Convert documents into e-learning

Now, you’re probably thinking, “Sure, I can do that myself.” You already have your PPT, PDF, or DOCX files handy and ready to go, so surely you can just cut and paste your content into one of the many available online learning platforms?

But here’s where you need to take a step back and consider the reality of what this process really entails; because the conversion of PPT presentations and other documents into interactive e-learning courses is not as simple as you might imagine.

With so many LMS and e-learning platforms available, you’re spoiled for choice. But do you, as a CEO, HR manager, team leader, or even director of Learning and Development, know what the best platform is to showcase your content? Is learning how to navigate e-learning software the best use of your time and skills? Because, despite the promotional material advertising these learning platforms as “easy-to-use,” one needs only to glance at e-learning product message boards to see the frustration of new users.

Trying to get to grips with the multitude of functions, layouts, and settings of these programs is not something you can achieve overnight. Additionally, you’ll also need to consider how to present your content in an engaging and dynamic manner. Are you familiar with the best way to divide information in a way that’s conducive to active learning? Are you skilled at writing assessment questions? Do you know how to responsibly source imagery or understand the way in which graphics impact the learning experience?
