Imagination leads Innovation

We follow the 7-steps Development Process:

• Understanding Client's Requirements
• Drawing up the Project Plan
• Defining Tasks — for the Approved Project
• Developing the Prototype
• Project Development
• Quality Assurance & Testing
• Deployment and Final Acceptance

Step 1: Understanding Client's Requirements

For new entrants

• Define objective of the project
• Identify target audience and their existing education/skill base
• Define their training needs
• Suggest appropriate technologies that can be used
• Assess costs involved and benefits accrued

For existing players  

• Define objective of the project
• Determine target audience training needs
• Ascertain whether the project will replace/supplement existing training methods
• Appraise technology already deployed and scope for new technology
• Assess costs involved and benefits accrued

• Specify course structure and content
• Define technologies to be used
• Outline time frame for completion of the project
• Specify the cost structure
• Submit Project Plan to the client for approval and finalization. Formal agreement is then signed with the client

Step 3: Defining Tasks — for the approved project

• Assigning specific tasks to each member of the team - research, content creation, content management, visualization, graphics design, programming, client servicing, documentation and regular backups
• Defining directory structure, which helps in future modifications and facilitates project handling
• Creating a Quality Assurance Test Plan
• Developing content that includes - factual information, text, graphics, multimedia and audio-video components

Step 4: Developing the Prototype

• Based on the approved project plan, a prototype is developed that takes into account:
• Structure of storyboard that fulfills client requirements
• Design, layout, look and feel of the project as per the needs of the target audience
• Instructional design methodologies (Chicago Manual of Style, MSTP) to ensure best instructional value in a self-learning environment
• User-friendly navigation structure
• Quality standards

The Prototype is submitted to the client for approval.

Step 5:Project Development

• The final course structure content is developed by defining the lessons, headings, topics and sub-topics
• Content accuracy, content coverage, logical flow of content and relevance to user groups are validated
• Correctness and relevance of media elements - text, graphics, animations, audio, video etc. - to user groups is validated
• The intermediate storyboards are sent to the client for review as required
• Graphics are optimized for smallest file size while displaying clear and crisp images
• Interactive content like animations, games etc. are developed
• Different media elements are integrated
• Tentative schedules are drawn up and adhered to
• Regular backups are taken to avoid calamities

Step 6: Quality Assurance & Testing

• We rigorously test the project as per the Quality Assurance Test Plan developed in step 3 to locate and eliminate errors
• We test and check the project on the following parameters:
• Content, navigation and proper use of different media elements
• Whether the project is easily accessible to the end user through the internet and is compatible with all computers, even the older ones
• Usability and user experience - (the course is run through a sample user population and the feedback is integrated)
• Conformance to e-learning standards
• Performance and stability across browsers and platforms

Step 7: Deployment and Final Acceptance

• The project is installed and deployed on the client's server or on a CD - ROM
• Final sign off from the client for the project
