Developing e-learnings in-house is a significant investment. Due to the high costs of producing training materials internally, many organizations opt to purchase e-learnings from external providers. By leveraging an LTI connection (Learning Tools Interoperability), external providers can deliver high-quality e-learnings that integrate seamlessly into your Learning Management System (LMS), eliminating the need for in-house content development. Learn more about LTI connections and the advantages of sourcing external learning content.
An LTI connection is a standard that enables learning tools, such as e-learnings hosted by external providers, to be directly integrated into your LMS. This means users can access all training materials through a single platform without realising the content is delivered from another system.
This not only provides convenience for employees but also makes it easier for organisations to quickly respond to changing learning needs. Instead of spending months creating in-house content, you can leverage existing, professional e-learnings optimised for your industry.
Creating an online training course costs, on average, €10,500 (210 hours x €50/hour, or the equivalent contractor rate). The development process consists of five phases: analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. Additionally, there are costs for professional video and audio production—approximately €3,000—plus optional editing expenses. In total, costs can climb to €15,000 with a development timeline of 4 to 6 months.
With an LTI connection, you can procure external training faster and at a lower cost. But that’s not the only benefit.
Developing e-learnings in-house is both costly and time-consuming. By collaborating with external providers through an LTI connection, you can take advantage of several benefits:
Not every LMS supports LTI connections out of the box, but for those that do, this technology provides significant added value. It enables you to procure the best e-learnings externally while maintaining a seamless user experience.
