NHSE Content development and delivery programme

Members of the NHSE TEL education content development community have collaborated to create a programme that shares best practice. Led by Lead Learning Designer, Claire Beattie, Senior Project Manager, Marnie Greenrod, and Graphic Designer, Catherine Moran, this programme has been created to facilitate and support in the development and delivery of quality elearning sessions. 

Contributors to the NHS Learning hub are required to adhere to the guidance outlined within these sessions. This will ensure all learning resources available to users through this platform, fulfil the requirements as set out in the
NHS Digital Service Content Guide

Session 1 – NHSE elearning author guide

Intended for all authors of elearning, this session is designed to guide you through the authoring process and advises on how to write content that will engage and motivate learners. 

Writing good content is about more than correct spelling and proper grammar. It is about engaging your learner and ensuring they can spend less time interpreting content and more time retaining knowledge. 

By the end of this session, you will be able to:

• explain the factors which should be considered when creating elearning content for NHSE
• create a session plan
• submit structured and outcome-focused content 
• describe your role within the session development process

Session 2 – Designing and delivering elearning content 

This session is currently being developed and is due to go live in the Autumn, 2024.  
 
This session is intended for those who build elearning. It will serve as guidance for external contributors to the NHSE Learning Hub, as well as those building elearning for use within Trusts and Royal Medical Colleges and beyond. 

This session shares best practice as to what is expected and required from a session to ensure user engagement, compliance and quality. 

By the end of this session, you will be able to: 

• describe the recommended content development and review process
• review the submitted content against the required standard
• explain the factors which should influence the creation of a storyboard/content plan
• list the legal requirements for asset creation and use
• explain what should be considered when building an elearning session

This programme is fully accessible to the general public. Each session has an evaluation survey embedded in it where we would appreciate your feedback upon completion. Each survey will take no longer than 5 minutes and will allow us to ensure that sessions are fulfilling the stated learning outcomes.
