The e-learning sector is developing in leaps and bounds. Just a few years ago it was unthinkable to embark on an e-learning project without having specialized suppliers or a technical team of designers, programmers or experts on hand.

However, this task has become much simpler with the help of authoring tools. They allow designers or creators without experience to work with interactive, multimedia resources easily and efficiently through the use of stylized templates. Want to know how they work? Keep reading to find out more.

Why should you use templates for your online courses?

Templates act as a canvas for interactive elements, graphics, exercises, and more that allow you to offer a better learning experience for your students.

They help with the visual layout of your course. In other words, you can dedicate all of your time and energy to the content creation process without having to worry about the appearance of the finished product.

Online course templates cover many pedagogical requirements. For this reason, leading authoring tools offer a wide variety of possibilities, from standard training and corporate templates to more informal and playful styles.

Advantages of using templates in your e-learning courses

Templates are an excellent option for those who want to create high-quality online courses in the least time possible, with little to no experience.

Efficiency and time saving

Online course templates available in most authoring tools already have an established structure and design which means you don’t have to dedicate so much time to the way your content is presented. With predesigned layouts, you simply need to choose the style that best suits your needs.

Ease of use

One of the greatest advantages of using templates is that they’re usually easy to use; you don’t need to be an expert in graphic design or programming to create a professional course. Some authoring tools also include interactive resources designed to enrich your content and make it more engaging. The result: courses that are more dynamic, more interactive and more varied without the industry expertise.

Personalization

A challenge associated with predesigned templates is personalization, which comes with the risk of generic-looking content. However, despite their predesigned format, many slides still have the flexibility for customization which gives companies the opportunity to adapt them to their specific needs and add a more personal touch.

Some software even allows you to personalize the color palette you want to use, either by selecting from existing options or developing your own using your corporate colors. This, all with the option to change your color scheme at any time without the need to update your slides individually.

Independence and autonomy

Not relying on experts in programming and design means that you can take control of the course creation process, all while reducing costs and making quality a priority with a more agile workflow.

Examples of templates for your online courses

Every template is designed with a specific purpose that adapts to the needs of the course creators with the aim of simplifying the task. Every time you create a new slide, you decide if you want to start with a blank canvas or opt for a predesigned template.

Below are examples of the slides you can find in isEazy Author.
