Increase High-end courseware Capacity

Produce More High Quality, Custom Learning Courseware Without Adding FTEs

Top healthcare providers know that organizational learning is critical to their pursuit of strategic goals, and have deployed e-learning strategies to spread strategic knowledge across their organizations. In addition to courseware that is generally available on the market, many providers require custom, online courseware to address organization-specific requirements. With scarce internal resources for developing content in-house, and limited budgets for purchasing custom content from 3rd-party vendors, many organizations are looking for alternative solutions to meet custom courseware demands.

HealthStream’s Virtual Courseware Developer (VCD) services augment an organization’s internal capabilities by assigning a dedicated courseware development expert to ramp up production of high quality, custom Authoring Center Courses using Macromedia Contribute™ and/or Trivantis Lectora™.

The Virtual Developer works closely with the customer’s subject matter experts and employs HealthStream’s best development practices to maximize courseware quality and development productivity. Customers may engage a Virtual Content Developer at 25%, 50% or 100% (FTE equivalent) of the resource for a minimum of one year.
