THE SCIENCE OF KNOWLEDGE: OUR METHODS

The goal of UKS’ development team is to create instructions that maximize the potential of eLearning. As such, our method of instruction follows the template laid down by the proven international ADDIE model:

Analyse: A Project Manager and eLearning Consultant analyse learner characteristics, gauge the learner's needs, and identify the best solutions to meet those needs.
Design: Our Instructional Designer works with the Subject Matter Expert to develop learning objectives, choose an instructional approach and learner environment, and address instructional problems.
Develop: Our Instructional Designer arranges subject matter content and guides the production of communication media. Graphic material, including animations, electronic simulations, interactivity models and sound assets are duly produced and assembled.
Implement: Our deployment team delivers the instructional materials. The latest technological developments in assets production and assembly are implemented to ensure reusability, upgradeability, shareability, and scalability.
Evaluate: Our quality assurance team makes sure the material achieves the desired goals and conforms to international standards such as SCORM.

Development Tools:

For our content development, we use one of the leading-edge set of tools currently available in the market - the Giunti Labs learn eXact tool set.

Learn eXact is a powerful Learning Content Management System (LCMS) that speeds up the processes of creating, indexing, storing, revising and managing eLearning content and knowledge repositories, with the eXact Packager authoring module and the eXact LOBSTER digital repository.


Phases of Knowledge Transfer to eLearning Content:

The content production process at UKS includes the following phases for transfer of subject matter knowledge to eLearning content:

• SMEs produce/collect documentation
• SMEs share documentation with the Production Team
• Production Team produces Learning Content
• SMEs review output
• Production Team refines Learning Content


International Standards Compliance:

All our courseware is designed following industry-leading international standards from IEEE IMS and ADL, and AICC such as SCORM. All material is assigned levels of user engagement based on the US DoD classifications and levels of multimedia and graphics complexity. In addition, depending on your needs, courseware may have audio, video, and animation, interaction and simulations as well as real-time connectivity and interaction.

The online courses are delivered as a set of related, effective, reusable learning objects with trackable assessment tools grouped together to form highly effective courseware.
