Accelerate eLearning Content Delivery
with Dynamic Publishing

Any Learning and Development professional who uses a Learning Management System (LMS) will know how tedious and time-consuming it can be to manage eLearning content delivery across the organisation. eLearning content is rarely a “set it and forget it” resource, it constantly needs to be audited, reviewed and updated – and that’s before you even consider fixing the little typos that inevitably slip into the live version.

If you’re tired of waiting days or weeks for course edits to make it into your learning platform – potentially multiple times for the same course – the solution lies in shifting away from static files. By adopting dynamic publishing, powered by tools like Convey from dominKnow | ONE, you can permanently accelerate your learning content delivery to an LMS.

Why is eLearning content delivery using SCORM files so time-consuming?

Most LMS’s require learning Admins to re-upload the entire SCORM package every time content has been updated.

Whether driven by legislative updates, policy changes, new product features, or an enhanced understanding of the subject matter, content updates are a constant reality.

Common triggers include:

  • Replacing outdated information (such as changing industry regulations)
  • Adding new information (such as new product features)
  • Updating branding (following a company rebrand)
  • Fixing typos or other errors
  • Swapping out broken links or images
  • Clarifying instructions based on learner feedback

If updating this content requires a lengthy, complex process, L&D teams often decide to wait until there are enough updates to justify the administrative effort. Consequently, inaccurate information lives on in your eLearning content for much longer than it should.

This process takes even longer if updates to content must be funnelled through your LMS Admin. Typically the Author makes the changes and is then reliant on the Admin to upload the SCORM package to the LMS.

The time-consuming element for the Admin is that the content to be replaced often resides in multiple locations, and tracking where each course has been uploaded to is a time-consuming task. What happens if an accurate record of exactly where the content is available to Learners has not been maintained? This is frustrating for both the LMS Admin and the Content Author, while Learners are left accessing outdated information, jeopardising your learning outcomes.

The Solution: Dynamic Learning Content Delivery with Convey

Put simply, Dynamic Learning Content Delivery is an automated process whereby the initial upload of the SCORM package(s) to one or more LMS locations creates a ‘footprint’. Subsequent content uploads automatically use the ‘footprint’ to overwrite the previous version.  The manual and tedious process of deleting old files and replacing them with new ones is automated with Dynamic Learning Content Delivery.

By utilising Convey, dominKnow | ONE‘s dynamic content delivery tool, organisations unlock massive efficiency gains, including:

  • Up to 90% time savings* in your content launch and update workflow
  • Instant access to updated, accurate content for learners
  • Automating tedious manual tasks
  • Eliminating duplication of effort across multiple uploads
  • Reduced barriers to making critical content updates
  • Lowered risk of human error and version control issues
  • Boosted L&D ROI, freeing up your team to focus on strategic, high-value tasks

How Convey transforms your workflow

Most large organisations, and many smaller ones, use an LMS to manage their online learning content – everything from structured eLearning courses to standalone job aids and performance support.

The traditional update workflow is:

  1. The SME identifies the content to be updated
  2. Content Author makes the necessary updates to the content
  3. Content is reviewed and approved
  4. A support ticket is submitted to the LMS Admin
  5. The edited Content is manually re-uploaded to the LMS
  6. The updated Content is finally available to Learners

Convey completely eliminates steps 4 and 5. By skipping these administrative bottlenecks, Convey significantly accelerates the entire content delivery process – especially if you have content published across multiple platforms, portals or languages.

Subject to permissions, with Convey’s Dynamic Learning Content Delivery, Content Authors are empowered to update content across all locations without the support of LMS Admins.

Beyond the big, business-critical updates, Convey is invaluable in instances where small edits and amendments could otherwise take significant time to implement.  Fixing a typo, tweaking a brand colour or replacing a single image no longer requires a painful, repetitive manual upload process that must be repeated across every instance. It can be completed within minutes inside the dominKnow | ONE authoring interface, saving days of administrative time over the course of a year.

How Dynamic Learning Content Delivery works using Convey

Convey’s Dynamic Learning Content Delivery utilises SCORM stubs.  A SCORM stub is a lightweight content package uploaded to your LMS just once; it maintains a secure, cloud-based connection to Convey to deliver the live content files.

When you make the switch from traditional SCORM files to Convey’s dynamic SCORM stubs, you can still obtain all the information you’d normally get directly from your LMS. From an L&D perspective there is no difference in the type and quality of Learner activity and achievement being tracked.
