1. Write the outcome in one sentence
“A person who finishes this training will be able to ...”. If the sentence will not finish, the training is not yet defined. The outcome is also the source of the quiz questions.
2. Decide who will watch
A beginner or an experienced person; at a desk or in the field; on a phone or a computer? Language, examples and duration change accordingly. Content longer than fifteen minutes is not finished by field staff.
3. Fix the duration beforehand
For mandatory training, the duration is set by regulation (see mandatory training). For voluntary training, short modules are completed more than one long piece.
4. Draw up the outline
Headings, and two or three sentences under each. Do not think visually at this stage; check whether the flow is right. The expert approves here; correcting later is expensive.
5. Write the narration
Spoken language, short sentences, the organisation’s own terms. Text to be voiced differs from written text: read it aloud and change the places you stumble.
6. Add visuals and scenes
One idea per screen. If a rule is being explained, show it: right and wrong behaviour played out in a scene is remembered. Prefer simple visuals that resemble the organisation’s own setting over stock photos.
7. Spread the questions through the flow
Two or three questions after each section instead of ten at the end. A wrong answer should not punish; it should take the learner back to where the topic was explained. Questions should be tied to the outcome; a “which year was it issued” memory question does not measure anything.
8. Accessibility
Subtitles, enough contrast, moving forward by keyboard, and text a screen reader can read. These are not added afterwards; they are built in at the start.
9. Package and test
Export the training as a SCORM (1.2 or 2004) package (see what is SCORM). Upload it to the LMS and complete it from start to finish with a test account; check that the completion and score records arrive.
10. Pilot and update
Run a pilot with five or ten people: where did they get stuck, which question was hard for everyone? Fix it, then open it to everyone. Do not make the training once and leave it; when the process changes, the content should change too.
Where does AI fit in this flow?
AI speeds up steps 4, 5, 6 and 7: you write the topic and the audience, and the outline, narration, slide layout, voice-over and questions come to you. Setting the outcome (1), knowing the audience (2), the expert’s approval (4) and the pilot (10) are human work. Nothing AI writes should be published without being seen.
Production at Seriftech
The Training Studio runs exactly these ten steps in one flow: you write the topic and the audience; the outline, text, slides, voice-over, scenes and questions are prepared; you look, correct, and export it as a SCORM package or publish it in the Training Platform.
