In business, nobody likes surprises, especially when they come in the form of schedule and cost overruns. So an eLearning supplier's most critical qualification lies in its development process and project management discipline. A supplier's ability to effectively and efficiently run a project affects schedules, budgets, and ultimately your satisfaction with its work. LIQVID is a supplier who can provide:

Our customers get their custom courses built according to a predictable process with predictable costs.
- An automated workflow: LIQVID has a solid development process supported by automated process, or project workflow, in its technical development environment. LIQVID's automated workflow tools route work to the right people at the right time, automate business rules, incorporate template-driven design, monitor development metrics, and streamline development efforts. The results are tangible: consistent processes, efficient use of time and resources, and predictable and reliable development metrics, all of which result in less risk for you.

LIQVID Development Process - Overview
LIQVID follows the principles of the ADDIE model, a generic and simplified instructional systems design (ISD) model. ADDIE is short for ANALYZE, DESIGN, DEVELOP, IMPLEMENT, and EVALUATE. In the analyze phase, the instructional problem is clarified, the goals and objectives are established, and the learning environment and learner characteristics are identified. The design phase is where the instructional strategies are designed and media choices are made. In the develop phase, materials are produced according to decisions made during the design phase. The implement phase includes the testing of prototypes (with targeted audience), putting the product in full production, and training learners and instructors on how to use the product. The evaluation phase consists of two parts: formative and summative. Formative evaluation is present in each stage. Summative evaluation consists of tests for criterion-related referenced items and providing opportunities for feedback from the users. |
