Industry Outreach Compliance E-Learning Course

IDEAS2IMAGE created an e-learning website and multimedia course modules to deliver export compliance training to audiences outside of the United States.


Project Synopsis

In support of Commonwealth Trading Partners’ (CTP) contract with the U.S. Department of State, IDEAS2IMAGE developed a web-based e-learning course to provide online learning opportunities to export enforcement officials in foreign countries.  The user-based system provides training and resources to users who are registered with the website.  The website includes video, animation, and easy to modify learning materials.

During the early stages of development, IDEAS2IMAGE worked closely with CTP staff to research computer capabilities in foreign governments.  Because media would play an important role in the e-learning modules, we have to be sure that the content would play smoothly on the majority of computers that accessed the information.  At the end of our research phase, our team established baseline specifications for resolution, bandwidth, and audio.

IDEAS2IMAGE created an integrated system, which used the Expression Engine CMS, PHP, Flash, and video to deliver a sophisticated blend of information and media.  We created animations that depicted a variety of export control scenarios, and were designed to resonate with an international audience.


Process: Learn–Solve–Deliver

Multimedia is a dynamic medium, encompassing animation, video, and interactive technology.  We examine your goals and target market, but also consider the degree to which the market will be able to engage the multimedia component that requires a specific technology to function.  IDEAS2IMAGE builds accessible interfaces that rely on tools that are broadly adopted in the market.  We research technology usage data to ensure that we are correctly selecting a supporting technology, so that multimedia platform does not become an impediment to user engagement.

Our team solves communication challenges by employing creative approaches to interface design, navigation, and effects, which allow your message to take center stage.  We use the tools that are provided within a multimedia presentation to enable a user to interact with content in an intuitive fashion, without being concerned with the sophisticated programming that is powering the experience.

IDEAS2IMAGE delivers tools that are built in a modular way, so that they are easy to update and keep current.  We leverage the knowledge gained during our discovery phase, so that your audience will enjoy a fluid user experience that supports your brand, goals, and vision.
