When it comes to rolling out eLearning across your organisation, there’s an approach that combines professional quality with personalised relevance: taking high quality ready-made courses and tailoring them to fit your needs. It’s a smart way to deliver engaging, effective training that feels like it was built specifically for your people.
The sweet spot: tailored ready-made eLearning content
The Learning Rooms ready-made eLearning courses are developed by professionals who understand instructional design, learner engagement and best practice. When you tailor this content, you’re building on that expert foundation while making it truly yours. It’s quicker than building from scratch, more cost effective than fully bespoke development, and brilliantly engaging for your learners.
Here’s what tailoring can look like in practice:
- Adding your branding. Your logo, colours and visual identity appear throughout the course, making it feel like part of your organisation’s learning ecosystem.
- Customising scenarios and examples. The content can reflect your actual processes, policies and culture. A course on conflict management hits home when the examples mirror real challenges your teams face.
- Adjusting terminology. Every organisation has its own language. Job titles, department names, internal systems and processes can all be updated so learners immediately recognise their own environment.
- Including your policies and procedures. Compliance and HR topics can reference your specific organisational policies, making the learning directly applicable.
- Localising for your audience. Whether it’s adjusting for regional regulations, cultural nuances or industry-specific requirements, tailoring ensures the content speaks directly to your learners.
When tailoring works brilliantly
Tailored ready-made eLearning shines in several situations.
If you need to roll out training quickly, starting with ready-made content dramatically reduces development time. You’re building on something that already works beautifully.
If you’re covering topics like health and safety, compliance, management skills or personal development, these areas have well-established best practices. You can leverage expertly designed content and make it your own.
If you want to maximise your training budget, tailoring gives you a polished, professional result. You get the quality and engagement of custom content at a fraction of the investment.
If you want consistency across multiple topics, a catalogue of ready-made courses gives you a unified look and feel across your learning programme. Tailoring then adds your organisational identity on top of that consistency.
What makes a great foundation for tailoring?
When you’re looking for courses to tailor, a few things make all the difference.
Look for content created by learning professionals who understand instructional design principles. The underlying structure and approach matters just as much as the subject matter expertise.
Choose courses designed with accessibility in mind. Quality ready-made content should already comply with accessibility guidelines, giving you a solid foundation that works for all learners.
Check whether the provider offers genuine tailoring options. The more flexible the customisation, the better the end result will be for your learners.
Consider whether new content gets added over time. A catalogue that grows means your investment keeps delivering value as new topics become available.
Making an eLearning catalogue your own
The best tailored eLearning simply feels like your organisation’s learning content. Your learners experience something that speaks to them, reflects their reality and helps them learn effectively.
You get professional content, expert instructional design and engaging multimedia, all wrapped up in your organisation’s identity and context. It’s the best of both worlds, delivered in a way that makes sense for your budget and timeline.
