Legacy Training Modernization
From Dated Content to a Dynamic Learning Experience

Evolving Your Training for the Modern Learner
Your organization has training content that serves a purpose. It might be a comprehensive program built on years of expertise and prior experiences, a set of materials created quickly to meet an immediate need, or anything in between. Whatever its origin, the format in which content lives—whether it’s an established slide deck, a static PDF manual, an in-person workshop, or existing but dated eLearning courses—may no longer be the most effective way to reach and engage your team.
You’re likely here because you believe your training can do more. This is a common and exciting challenge—an opportunity to enhance your program’s impact. You’re probably looking for ways to:
- Increase learner engagement by moving beyond passive, static content.
- Improve scalability by converting in-person training to a flexible online format.
- Refresh the look and feel of your training to align with your current brand and meet the expectations of modern learners (and clients).
- Ensure your existing courses function reliably on all current browsers.
- Gain the ability to track and measure training that is currently “offline” in manuals or binders.

Modernizing Medical Training as part of a National Certification Program
The Challenge: The Canadian Association of Medical Radiation Technologists (CAMRT) had an extensive library of 27 courses that were critical for national certification. However, the courses were technologically dated, visually inconsistent, and no longer engaging for a modern audience.
Our Solution: We partnered with CAMRT on a full-scale modernization project. Our team conducted a comprehensive audit and redesign, creating a new, professional, and consistent visual template that aligned with their brand. We then rebuilt the entire course library in a modern authoring tool, standardizing the navigation and integrating new interactive elements.
The Result: CAMRT now has a cohesive, modern, and engaging library of professional courses. The modernization project provided an improved, user-friendly, and more valuable experience for its members nationwide, reinforcing CAMRT’s position as a leader in their field.

FAQ about Legacy Training Modernization
We have so much existing content. Where do we even start?
This is the most common challenge our partners face. Our process begins with a curriculum consulting step. We work with you to audit your existing materials and business goals, helping you prioritize what's most critical. We can then create a phased plan, allowing you to modernize your training in manageable and logical stages. You don't have to do it all at once.
How do you make sure the new training is actually more engaging than what we have?
Uncovering ways to improve the engagement with training is the core of our instructional design service. We don’t just copy and paste your old content onto a new screen. Our instructional designers apply learning science to reimagine content, utilizing the latest design approaches and tools to appeal to today’s learners. We seek opportunities to incorporate interactive scenarios, gamification, and simulations that transform passive information into an active experience.
A lot of our training is done in-person (ILT). How does that get modernized?
Moving from ILT to eLearning is a perfect opportunity for a flexible approach. We can help you analyze the content and transfer foundational knowledge (the “what”) into a self-paced, scalable eLearning course, thereby creating a blended learning model. This frees up your valuable instructor time to focus on high-impact activities. Alternatively, we can maintain the ILT delivery and focus on a presentation refresh, reimagining your slide decks, breakout activities, and workbooks to make them more modern and engaging.
Is this just about making our old slide decks look new, or is it a deeper fix?
It can be either, depending on your specific needs and budget. For some clients, a graphic enhancement project to update the visuals and branding is all they need. However, most modernization projects involve a deeper instructional design and eLearning development process to thoughtfully restructure the content, ensure it’s accessible, and build it in a modern, learner-friendly tool for a greater, more lasting impact.
