Meat and Livestock Australia, a company that delivers marketing, and research and development services for Australia’s cattle, sheep and goat producers, introduced a Collaborative Marketing Program. As a pre-requisite to which, company representatives needed to complete a marketing workshop with MLA.

The program aimed to assist brand marketers create customer loyalty and sustainable brand growth, through investment that delivers ongoing value for the brand and the industry. To widen their reach in much lesser time, an eLearning approach was suggested, which could be instantly accessed by anyone with a computer and an internet connection. For MLA’s first eLearning project, a coursework had to be developed so that representatives could learn how to register for the Collaborative Marketing program and create their own annual marketing strategy, activity proposals and reports.

Keeping in mind that the target audience for the course consisted of people mainly with a farming background, and have a very basic knowledge of computers, Upside Learning created a Flash-based multi-module demonstrative course on what the Collaborative Marketing program was, and the steps on how to create an annual marketing strategy, activity proposals, budget summaries and reports. The course contained a simulation of the procedures to fill out and create each of the requests, using actual examples.

Mobility has moved from the personal computing space to business, impacting the way learning is created and delivered. While Flash continues to remain an important tool for developing desktop-based learning, HTML5, with its ability to play audio, video, 2D/3D graphics, and animation without a plug-in and its capability to work on mobile devices, presents itself as a promising alternative to eLearning development. This brings up the big question – What can be done with the existing Flash-based eLearning?

Upside Learning’s upcoming webinar, titled ‘Flash to HTML conversion – Getting it Right!‘, answers this very question as it helps organisations in converting their existing Flash-based eLearning to HTML. The webinar to be presented by Amit Garg, Co-founder and Director- Custom Learning Solutions, Upside Learning, covers the whole nine yards of ‘why’ HTML-based eLearning is required in today’s day and age, the pre-considerations, some implementation strategies and also the actual Flash to HTML conversion process. The webinar will be held on 2nd December at 09:30 AM IST (03:00 PM AEDT, 08:00 AM GST) and also on 3rd December at 07:30 PM IST (02:00 PM GMT, 09:00 AM EST).
