Requirement: A leading industrial gases company in the United States asked us to develop an e-learning course on Diversity and Inclusion for their workforce. This is aimed at bridging gaps between employees and building stronger communities. The emphasis was on creating a positive work environment.

After taking the online training, employees should adhere to government policies and company rules on the sensitive subject, ‘diversity’. The client also specified the e-learning course should include rich multimedia and interactive elements. Tight timelines were also a challenge.

• Provided existing print manuals to develop the course
• Asked to develop an online learning solution that would run on desktops, laptops, tablets, and Smartphones

Solution: We developed a simulation-based e-learning course using Articulate Storyline to meet the client’s training requirements. The rapid authoring tool also helped us:

• Develop the course within three weeks
