Design & Development

We can create:
- interactive learning objects
- online assessment tools
- online courses.
Whether it is a single learning object, a group of learning objects, or an online course, we can design elearning content to suit your needs.
Interactive Learning Objects
Interactive learning objects are ideal for use with interactive whiteboards. Learning objects can be used to support your classroom delivery. Group learning objects together with an assessment tool to create a scheme of work.

Online Assessment Tools
Interactive quizzes and surveys can be designed to include images, audio, hyperlinks, animation and movie clips. Questions can be presented using a range of different question type, randomised from a question pool, preset to take the user to different questions depending on their answers (branching,) and set to include feedback. Results from both quizzes and surveys can be collated using your Learning Management System (LMS).
Online Courses
An online course is a course where content is delivered through the Internet (or your intranet) via a LMS. Using a LMS, the teacher can create a whole spectrum of online courses - from those that use a limited amount of online activities and tools to support classroom delivery, to those that use a whole variety of online activities and tools to create a totally online course.
At eLearning Catalyst, we specialise in the use of Moodle as a LMS. With Moodle, teachers and trainers have control over the content, the format and the administration settings of their online course. We will work with you and help you design your online course so that you get the best possible use of the features that Moodle offers.
