Johns Hopkins Center for Communications Programs had plans for a number of e-learning modules and were looking for a supplier to support their development in both English and French. Having seen our work while participating in user testing for the Make Me a Change Agent project (Mercy Corps), we were invited to bid on the tender opportunity.
The initial project was “Know, Care, Do – A Theory of Change for Engaging Men and Boys in Family Planning”, to be built in Articulate Storyline, meeting Section 508 accessibility standards. We have subsequently been appointed to design and develop a range of courses, in both Storyline and Rise.
The first step was to create templates. There were no particular guidelines on illustration style, so we had discussions with the project team and the marketing team, sharing options and developing an agreed look and feel, ensuring that characters were diverse and representative of the audience.
Having templates built in Articulate meant that we could create a consistent portfolio of courses over the coming years. In the first project, we worked really closely with the project team, establishing ways of working and guiding them through the process. We also used the excellent working partnership to develop our own processes which included improving our accessibility options and creating a more dynamic navigation system.
That has put us in good stead with the projects that followed. We have now built a range of courses for Johns Hopkins in both English and French. Courses have been developed in both Rise and Storyline and have included animations and publications.
We have received excellent feedback from the Johns Hopkins team and learners alike with their courses now being launched and accessed globally.
“I learned so much about e-learning course development working with the skilled professionals at Spokes Education. It was my first time developing this type of course from start to finish, and the effective communication, coordination, and collaboration that I experienced resulted in a high-quality product of which I’m immensely proud.”
