American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO)

E-Content Consulting has been working with AASHTO since 2014 and in that time has help set up and launch their distance learning platform. This includes the following tasks: determined functional requirements for their learning system, built and configured a commercial off-the-shelf learning management system (LMS) to meet the determined functional requirements, developed the course protocols and standards for implementation, and developed processes and procedures for managing business analyst and business administration functions related to web-based courseware. We continue to maintain and administer the learning system for AASHTO.

In addition to the systems infrastructure work we have done for AASHTO, E-Content Consulting has designed, developed, and launched more than 200 courses that are live and available through the AASHTO Store. E-Content Consulting uses Articulate 360 tools for authoring courses including Articulate Presenter 360, Storyline 360, and Rise 360. The E-Content Consulting production team develops these trainings using animation, graphics, and visual aids to improve the usability and instructional soundness of the training. ISDs and production staff work together to build 2D and 3D simulated graphic animations to further enhance web-based training, tutorials, videos, and web-based lab simulations. Each course has embedded learning validation, whether that be a standard knowledge check, programmed interaction, or other learning element designed for learners to self-assess their knowledge.

E-Content Consulting is currently updating existing Flash-based courses to be in HTML5, mobile-compliant format. We are also developing new training content in addition to other instructional design and development efforts for the organization including expanding the video library and continuing to grow the library of over 100 mobile job aids.
