Custom eLearning Development: Tailored, Expert-Led Training
HumanShield builds custom eLearning that turns specialist knowledge into practical, role-relevant learning. Whether your need arises from a regulation (GDPR, DPDPA, PCI), an audit gap (ISO/IEC 27001), a new technology adoption (cloud, DevSecOps), or an organisational change (merger, new product line), our expert-led process delivers SCORM-ready modules, clearly defined learning paths, and measurable outcomes.
Overview — Why choose custom eLearning?
Off-the-shelf courses are convenient, but they rarely map perfectly to an organisation’s risk profile, technology stack, or regulatory obligations. Custom eLearning gives you targeted content that reflects your processes, example systems, and job tasks — and it is authored by practitioners with deep domain experience. HumanShield’s advantage is experience: we’ve codified lessons from 10,000+ hours of consulting, auditing and classroom delivery into repeatable, measurable learning outcomes.
Our 8-Stage Custom eLearning Development Process
Stage 1 — Understand the Requirement (Discovery & Stakeholder Alignment)
We begin with structured discovery: stakeholder interviews, document review (policies, control frameworks, audit reports), and sample task analysis. The objective is to define learning goals, target audiences, success metrics, and any mandated compliance outcomes (ISO27001 awareness, GDPR/UK-GDPR, DPDPA readiness). This step produces a succinct requirements brief and project plan.
Stage 2 — Research & Collate Subject Matter (Standards, Regulations, Incidents)
Our team researches the domain—technical controls, regulatory text, incident case studies and industry best practice—then collates a SME-validated knowledge bank. Where required, we map content to standards (ISO/IEC 27001, ISO 22301, ISO 42001), legal obligations, or client policies so the learning is audit-anchored and defensible.
Stage 3 — Define Modules & Role-Based Learning Paths
We break the syllabus into discrete modules and define learning paths for each role: board, executives, IT, developers, HR, sales, customer service, branch staff and more. Each learning path specifies module order, minimum passing criteria, reinforcement cadence and manager checkpoints — ensuring role relevance and avoiding the one-size-fits-all trap.
Stage 4 — Content Authoring (Scripts, Storyboards, Multimedia)
Instructional designers and domain SMEs co-author scripts and storyboards. We combine concise video scripts, scenario-based branching exercises, infographics, and short assessments to create engaging micro-learning. Our “What’s in it for you?” framing makes security practical for end users while delivering deeper technical nuance to specialist cohorts.
Stage 5 — LMS Module Development (SCORM / xAPI Packaging)
Approved content is converted into LMS-ready modules (SCORM or xAPI packages) with accessible HTML5 output, captions, and mobile responsiveness. We build assessments, scoring logic, certificates, and reporting hooks so your LMS or HumanShield’s platform can ingest, assign and track learning reliably.
Stage 6 — Testing, QA & Rollout (Pilot → Rollout → Reporting)
All modules undergo technical QA, instructional QA and pilot testing with a representative learner group. We fix issues, refine interaction flows, and tune assessment difficulty before phased rollout. Rollout is accompanied by automated enrolments, manager alerts, and analytics dashboards that track completion, assessment scores and engagement.
Stage 7 — Train-the-Trainer / Workshop for Learning Teams
We deliver a train-the-trainer workshop for your L&D and compliance teams: how to interpret reports, manage cohorts, run reinforcement campaigns, and update content. This transfer of capability ensures your organisation can sustain and evolve the programme independently.
Stage 8 — Optional Classroom & Executive Sessions
For senior leadership, specialised technical cohorts, or regulator-mandated audiences, we can include live virtual or in-person workshop sessions. These sessions are tightly aligned to the eLearning content and focus on scenario practice, policy sign-off, or tabletop exercises where real-time dialogue matters.
Customization & Delivery Options
SCORM, xAPI & LMS Integration
We deliver SCORM and xAPI packages compatible with major LMS platforms. Integration with SSO, HRIS or identity providers is available as a scoped service. Packages include standardized reporting endpoints so completion and score data can flow into your governance dashboards.
White-Labeling, Localization & Multi-Language Support
We provide white-label templates, multi-language localisation, and regionally adapted examples so learning resonates culturally and linguistically for global teams. Translation, voice-over and regional legal notes are offered as optional add-ons.
Blended Deployments: eLearning + Classroom + Simulations
Custom eLearning is most effective when reinforced. We design blended deployments combining self-paced modules, targeted classroom workshops, and phishing/social engineering simulations to create sustained behaviour change and measurable risk reduction.
Business & Compliance Benefits
Role-Based Relevance & Job-Task Alignment
Learners complete modules that map to the tasks they actually perform—developers get secure SDLC guidance, customer service teams learn safe handling of PII, and executives receive decision-grade briefings. Role-based learning increases relevance and reduces time-to-competence.
Audit-Ready Evidence for GDPR, ISO27001, DPDPA and Regulators
All custom programmes produce exportable completion records, assessment summaries and reinforcement logs suitable for ISO27001 audits, regulator reviews, or contractual evidence. We design controls mapping so you can demonstrate training coverage against specific clauses and obligations.
Measurable Outcomes: Completion, Assessments & Behavioural Metrics
Our success metrics include completion rates, assessment pass rates, time-to-competence, simulated-phish click reduction, and reporting latency improvements. These data points feed dashboards for CISOs, HR and compliance teams and make ROI visible.
How We Work — Project Governance & Team Composition
SME Network, Instructional Designers & Multimedia Studio
HumanShield’s delivery team pairs subject matter experts (CISSP, CISM, CIPP, ISO auditors) with instructional designers, multimedia producers and learning engineers. This combination ensures content is accurate, engaging and technically robust.
Timeline, Milestones & Pricing Models
Typical custom eLearning projects run from 6–12 weeks for a 4–6 module pilot to 3–6 months for enterprise programmes, depending on scope. Pricing can be fixed-price per module, time-and-materials for complex projects, or subscription + per-module development for ongoing content pipelines. We provide transparent estimates after discovery.
