ILT & VILT to eLearning Conversion
Scale Your Expertise, Not Your Budget

Evolving Your Most Valuable Training
Your instructor-led training (ILT) and virtual workshops (VILT) are a core part of your program, holding your organization's most valuable expertise. But live training, by its nature, has limitations.
It can be expensive to operate, challenging to schedule for a dispersed workforce, and difficult to scale effectively. This creates high-friction scenarios: a new hire starts the week after a critical session and has to wait months to get up to speed. Or, team members who couldn’t attend are sent a lengthy, unedited recording of a VILT session—a passive experience that fails to engage.
You know you need a more flexible, consistent, and cost-effective solution, but you’re concerned about losing the effectiveness of a live instructor. You’re likely asking:
- How can we convert our proven ILT content into a flexible format that scales?
- How can we mitigate the high costs and logistical challenges of live training?
- How do we capture the effectiveness of our best instructors in a self-paced course?
- How can we do this when we don’t have the in-house team to build it?
How We Reimagine Your Live Training
We are your expert partners in this transformation. Our process is not a simple “copy-paste” of your slides into a new format. Instead, we are instructional architects. We specialize in deconstructing your live training, including capturing the core knowledge, critical discussions, and hands-on activities. Then, we re-imagine it as a powerful, modern learning experience that scales.
Analyze your existing ILT
We begin with a curriculum consulting approach, reviewing your facilitator guides and recordings to identify core learning objectives and content. Additionally, we analyze and create learner profiles, ensuring the new content is targeted to their specific needs.
Re-engineer for digital learning
Our instructional designers re-engineer the content for a self-paced experience, thoughtfully transforming lecture content and group activities into meaningful, interactive scenarios, as well as other elements, such as game-based learning and simulations.
Preserve the human element
We are masters at using video, animation, and storytelling to capture the voice of your experts, ensuring the new course feels personal and engaging, not sterile.
Build a polished, branded course
Our eLearning development team builds visually stunning, professional courses in modern tools (like Articulate Storyline or Rise) that perfectly align with your brand.
Digitize and enhance your assets
We convert your existing facilitator guides, participant workbooks, and handouts into interactive, user-friendly digital assets that perfectly complement the new course.
Create a powerful blended solution
As expert eLearning consultants, we’ll advise when a blended approach is the best path, helping you strategically identify which content is best for self-paced eLearning and what to save for a shorter, high-impact live session.

Converting a National Safety Certification to eLearning
The Challenge: The Construction Safety Association of Manitoba (CSAM) offered a critical COR™ Safety Certification program. Their entire program was delivered through in-person, instructor-led workshops, which were time-consuming, costly, and challenging to scale for a large, dispersed audience.
Our Solution: We partnered with CSAM’s subject matter experts to complete a comprehensive ILT-to-eLearning conversion. Our instructional designers deconstructed the live workshop content, analyzed the core learning objectives, and then reimagined the entire program as a 19-module, self-paced eLearning curriculum.
The Result: CSAM now has a fully modernized, flexible, and engaging certification program. The new eLearning format allows them to train more people, more consistently, and at a fraction of the cost, saving significant time for both learners and the association’s instructors.
Read the case study to explore how CSAM moved its instructor-led training to asynchronous eLearning available to the masses.
FAQ about Live Training to eLearning Conversion
What if our ILT is just a slide deck and a facilitator’s notes? Is that enough?
Absolutely. That’s a common starting point. Our instructional designers are experts at collaborating with your subject matter experts. We'll utilize those core assets to develop a comprehensive program, capturing the unwritten knowledge and transforming it into a fully scripted and engaging course.
We’re worried the new eLearning won’t be as “good” as our live instructor.
We understand that fear. Our goal isn’t to replace the value of your instructor, but to capture it. We work with you to integrate the human element—using video snippets of your experts, audio storytelling, and thought-provoking scenarios—that preserves their voice and expertise. By incorporating interactive elements that facilitate practice and reflection, we deliver a consistent, high-quality experience that rivals the best live sessions.
How does converting to eLearning impact our instructors’ time and focus?
Converting core training to eLearning allows you to optimize your most valuable resource: your people. By moving repetitive, foundational knowledge online, your instructors are freed from delivering the same lecture on repeat. This allows them to focus on higher-value activities, such as mentoring, strategic planning, or facilitating advanced workshops, thereby reducing your reliance on costly external trainers.
What is the real business benefit of converting our ILT?
The two most significant benefits are scalability and consistency. You can now train many people, no matter their location or schedule, with the same high-quality message for a fraction of the cost and time required for in-person training. It turns your most valuable, non-scalable asset into a flexible, on-demand powerhouse that drives a clear return on investment.
