Developing E-learning Courses for Oil and Gas
Preparing for the E-Learning Development Process
Courses designed for the oil and gas industry are often highly detailed and technical. Therefore, it is essential to pay close attention throughout every stage of development — from data gathering to animation and final delivery. By doing so, the course maintains both accuracy and relevance.
As part of our standard approach, our team works closely with Subject Matter Experts (SMEs), who are often professionals from within the oil and gas field. Together, we create accurate and engaging courses within the given timelines and available technology. This collaboration is especially crucial for topics like safety and risk management, where precision can make the difference between preventing accidents or, in serious cases, avoiding major losses.
How We Work Together with Our Clients
Since many SMEs work offshore, we adapt to their schedules to keep projects moving smoothly. As a result, meetings are arranged either in person on fixed dates or online at agreed times to ensure everyone’s availability.
For more technical subjects, we also hold extra workshops or discussions to understand real-life operations better. In addition, we conduct background research to strengthen our grasp of the subject matter and align it with your internal standards.
Because oil and gas teams are often multinational and time-constrained, our e-learning design focuses on short, interactive lessons with multilingual options. This approach ensures that learners can engage effectively, even with limited time or varying language proficiency.
During the review meetings, we present a draft storyboard and explain how instructional design principles enhance learner engagement and knowledge retention. Moreover, these sessions allow us to clarify details, collect feedback, and request additional materials where needed. In this way, the final course reflects your organisation’s expertise and training goals.
Final Product Delivery (SCORM)
Throughout the entire project, we maintain open communication and structured timelines to keep development on track. Once the course is complete, it is delivered in SCORM format for seamless integration with your Learning Management System (LMS). In other words, the training will run easily on your existing platform without compatibility issues.
Finally, after SMEs have reviewed and approved the course, we officially close the project and prepare for future updates or new developments. This ensures every course remains current, engaging, and aligned with your operational standards.
