Our approach

At ELM, we combine what we know about focus, attention, and memory with customized learning solutions that reflect your company’s structure, culture, and unique goals. We create learning that is highly accessible and perfectly balanced to deliver the right combination of content, context, and impact for highly dynamic training, from the very first moment to the final wrap-up. Your organization has specific needs, and your employees deserve relevant, engaging eLearning. ELM creates custom solutions using a neurolearning approach grounded in cognitive psychology and neuroscience, and complemented with out-of-this-world instructional design. This approach results in instructionally sound digital learning experiences with proven higher engagement, deeper learning, and faster recall.

Would your organization benefit from a custom app? In the past, that might have meant a big budget and months of outsourcing development and coding, but as a full-service eLearning company, ELM can help you develop custom mobile apps as part of your training strategy. Let us brainstorm, build, code, and launch tools your learners will use in their roles every day.

Don’t make the mistake of considering them buzzwords: augmented and virtual reality (AR/VR) are what’s next in eLearning strategy. As an eLearning company on the forefront of training tech, we’ll leverage the right amount of AR and VR to support your content without distracting from your main message and goals.

FAQs

ELM works mostly from scratch to create custom solutions, but we combine off-the-shelf multimedia production tools and custom solutions for the perfect balance (and to stay mindful of your L&D budget).
That depends. We give kudos to any organization willing to invest in employee development, but the world of L&D is changing every day. We study learner behavior and neuroscience to tap into new methods of delivery, recall, and engagement. A lack of results in the past may be a case of “it’s not what you said but how you said it.” When you work with ELM learning architects, we can pinpoint learner motivation and create solutions that connect with their hearts and minds for better experiences.
It’s a million-dollar question in the L&D industry, but learning ROI isn’t as illusive as you think. By working with your organization to define desired outcomes, ELM can build metrics and reporting into your new program: it’s one of the main benefits of completely custom solutions. When your learning is designed specifically for your goals, you’ll also be able to design your own measurements so you always know how you’re doing—and plan your next move.
