Rapid authoring
What is rapid authoring?
Rapid authoring tools create elearning materials efficiently and quickly. This process, known as rapid authoring, involves manipulating existing paper-based or electronic content with rapid authoring tools. Instead of creating content from scratch, rapid authoring focuses on quickly updating existing materials, making it a faster and more cost effective solution. These tools typically come with templates and resources that simplify updating content. This approach is particularly beneficial for businesses that regularly update their training materials, as it allows them to produce high quality elearning content without the expense of hiring a professional elearning development team.
How can I use rapid authoring?
Adapting and evolving with the times is crucial in rapidly developing business environments. This means making use of new technologies to streamline processes and increase efficiency. One practical approach is to convert paper-based or electronic documents into digital elearning modules using rapid authoring. By transferring the content from a document into a rapid authoring tool, we can create an interactive and engaging elearning experience. Not only is this process faster and more convenient, but it is also more cost effective in the long run, providing you with a comfortable and user friendly solution. Therefore, businesses should consider using existing resources and transferring them to an elearning authoring tool for elearning content creation. Leveraging rapid authoring and rapid elearning tools can significantly enhance elearning development efforts, ensuring high quality training materials are produced efficiently.

Rapid authoring process
The rapid authoring process is an efficient methodology designed to quickly and cost-effectively build elearning courses using rapid authoring tools. This process begins with assessing whether existing resources are paper-based or electronic. Next, paper-based documents are converted into digital formats, while electronic resources can be directly uploaded into the authoring tool. Once digitised, pre-built templates and tools are applied to create interactive and engaging content. The final step involves integrating this content into a learning management system. This logical progression accelerates content creation and facilitates frequent updates, ensuring your training materials remain current and relevant. This makes rapid authoring an attractive option for organisations looking to provide efficient and effective learning opportunities on a tight budget.
Rapid authoring process explained
Do you have existing paper based or electronic resources?
Use your existing resources and turn them into professional looking, interactive elearning courses faster and more cost effectively than ever. With our library of pre-built templates, finding a solution becomes even more accessible. Let us show you how our rapid authoring tool can help you get your resources online quickly, saving you the cost and time of creating new resources from scratch.
Do you have existing paper based resources?
If yes, this process involves scanning existing printed resources, such as workbooks, into an electronic format. This can be done using a simple office scanner or even a smartphone. Once the content is in digital format, it can be edited and repurposed for elearning.
Transfer paper based documents to electronic form
Once the files are digital, we can upload them to your elearning environment or provide them in a format of your choice. Using existing resources, we can also create custom templates that will make it even faster and easier for you to create new content in the future. Switching to electronic files is a cost effective way to save time and space, and our team has the experience and expertise to ensure the transition is as smooth as possible.
Do you have existing electronic resources?
With rapid authoring, you can reuse existing resources like PowerPoint slides, Word documents, PDFs, and more to create elearning templates. This not only saves time but also helps keep costs down and enhances your elearning development efforts.
Transfer electronic documents to the elearning platform
Rapid authoring tools allow us to convert your existing electronic resources into elearning content quickly. Using familiar resources, we streamline the process and ensure a seamless transition. We will upload the content to your elearning environment (usually an LMS) to create a consistent look and feel across all your course materials, aligned with your existing business branding. This approach saves time and enhances the efficiency and effectiveness of your elearning content creation.
Rapid Authoring Process is Complete and eLearning can Begin
You can begin elearning now that you have completed the necessary prerequisite steps. Once we have completed your elearning development, we can upload it to an LMS and make it available to your learners. Leveraging rapid authoring tools ensures that your elearning content creation process is streamlined, efficient, and ready for immediate deployment.
