eLearning Services
With the increase in eLearning curriculum by both "brick and mortar" universities as well as online universities, university's often want an independent assessment of their curriculum courses as well as a comparison of their curriculum with those of other universities. (These same metrics also apply to corporate training companies and programs as well.) In addition to ensuring that courses are designed well, the curriculum is complete, another key area is determining the effectiveness of the course. An important element of Chartula's services are proprietary tools gleaned from experience in the education and training sectors as well as from literature on instructional system design and user centered design. These tools can be used to perform a heuristic review of a specific course to a comparison of your program with that of your competitor.
We can also assist you in all aspects of the instructional system design methodology from gathering requirements, developing content, determining learner outcomes, and evaluating the course and complete curriculums. In addition to the traditional elements of designing a distance education course or curriculum, we can help you develop a business case for a single course or a curriculum. Whether your organization is for profit or non-profit, understanding your "profit and loss" is as an important element as is learner outcomes when it comes to developing a course or curriculum.

Below are the five services we offer with a description of a "typical" deliverable.
