Custom eLearning Development

XIA Systems has been designing custom elearning courses since 1995. Using a unique combination of people, tools and methodologies, XIA Systems has created a course development process that combines the best of Instructional Systems Design (ISD) and Rapid Prototyping (Agile). This powerful combination gives us the unique ability to create richer and more consistent eLearning courses at reduced development times and costs.

Our people have over 100 years of combined experience in instructional design, distance education, graphic design, user interface design and simulation design. XIA is also a leader in eLearning business practices and standards. To date, we have delivered over 30 SCORM compliant courses.

1. Award-Winning Course Design

Our core design team has over 60 years of experience in writing, graphic design, user interface and web design, usability testing, instructional design and distance education technology. We have experience in developing both self-paced and mentored-learning solutions. That means you can be sure that we will develop the right solution for your training need. Our experienced team will analyze your needs and work with you to develop a high-quality, learning solution. This solution will combine creativity and functionality in a rich learning experience that will meet your learning objectives. And our courses are recognized for their design quality.

Finally, all of these solutions are delivered quickly, accurately and at competitive prices. Check out our design portfolio and judge our solutions for yourself!

2. Tools and Processes That Save You Time, Money and Frustration

XIA Systems has invested in tools and processes. We use a learner-centered design process and employ powerful authoring tools that allow us to increase the quality of the learning experience while controlling costs. For example, our authoring tool allows us to easily "style" rather than program interactive features like quizzes, interactive text boxes, drag-and-drop exercises, point-and-click exercises, table of contents, glossaries and indexes. This means that you can offer your students a richer, more interactive learning experience at substantial savings.

3. SCORM Standards Leadership

XIA Systems is a leader in eLearning standards including SCORM, IMS, XML and Metadata. The XIA team has worked closely with the Canadian Defence Learning Network Test Lab for over three (3) years in developing SCORM-compliant course content, and in supporting DLN research and development activities conducted in partnership with the Advanced Distributed Learning Lab. XIA resources co-authored Dynamic Appearance Model, a white paper submitted to the ADL conference in March 2002. In addition, we are an approved ADL SCORM Adopter and all of our courses are SCORM 1.2 compliant. All of this means that your eLearning course will be built so that it isn't locked into a single Learning Management platform and won't be made obsolete by emerging standards.

4. Established Academic Relationships

XIA Systems' partner Online-Learning.com has established strong relationships with universities in Canada and the United States. Online-Learning.com was founded by Dr. Paul Beam from the University of Waterloo. Both Carleton University in Canada and Ohio University in the United States accredit the courses taught in our online education division. These relationships ensure that we stay out in front of emerging learning trends.

5. Proven Track Record

XIA Systems' partner, Online-Learning.com, has been teaching online since 1995. Unlike many course development companies, we practice what we preach by delivering online courses each and every day. We've learned what works! And what doesn't. Now you can put that experience to work on your eLearning projects.
