SA Health's Procurement Training

Platform: Articulate Storyline

Summary of project

The South Australia Government's SA Health Procurement and Supply Chain Management (PSCM) team comissioned Captovate to design and develop five interactive eLearning modules. These modules were to encompass the new legislative requirements related to organisational procurement and contract management activities integrated within their procurement management system, known as Procurement and Contract Management System (PCMS).

Outcomes and outputs

Content Creation: Captovate's first task was to develop content by extracting and synthesising information from the provided policy and process documents. Collaborating closely with internal stakeholders, our development team created the structure and flow, and refined the content based on stakeholder feedback. To streamline the development process, Captovate utilised PowerPoint to craft storyboards, which not only facilitated easy feedback but also provided the flexibility to adjust the content as needed.

Design: Our skilled graphic design team at Captovate constructed slide designs in accordance with the provided style guide. This collaborative effort extended to working closely with the learning team to ensure the creation of visually engaging and interactive instructional materials. The modules featured narration by avatars, using the characters available within Articulate. These avatars employed a range of poses to enhance engagement and create a more immersive learning experience.

Knowledge Checks: To maintain an engaging learning experience, Captovate designed interactive knowledge checks throughout the modules. These checks allowed learners to actively engage with the content, reinforcing their understanding and retention of critical information.

Development: The development phase encompassed various crucial tasks, including synchronising content with voiceovers, building interactive elements, and refining the overall interactivity of the course materials. This phase aimed to bring the content to life and ensure a seamless and effective learning experience for the audience.

Visual examples:

While the screencasts appear to be simple recordings, our developers bring an extra layer of skill to the table. They meticulously synchronise voice instructions to the interactions on the screen, creating well timed highlights and pop out features to draw the users attention to the area within the screen.

Setting up Azure

July 30, 2024

Integrating high-quality voiceovers into your eLearning content is essential as it provides additional engagement, particularly for auditory learners, and ensures your outputs conform to accessibility guidelines. At Captovate, we use Microsoft Azure because it offers a powerful, secure, and efficient platform for accessing and utilising voiceovers. By leveraging Azure's advanced AI capabilities, you can create natural and expressive voiceovers that enhance your content's appeal. Why Choose Microsoft Azure for Voiceovers? Enhanced Security Microsoft Azure prioritises the security of your data. With robust encryption protocols, multi-factor authentication, and compliance with international security standards, Azure ensures that your voiceover projects and sensitive information are protected against unauthorised access and cyber threats. If you work for a government agency, this helps ensure you conform to your internal cybersecurity requirements (although it is important to check with them). Save Output Saving voiceover outputs using Microsoft Azure is straightforward and secure. After generating the voiceover using Azure's Text-to-Speech service, you can download the file directly to your computer in formats like MP3 or WAV. This makes it easier for you to edit content if something changes. Customise Pronunciations Customising pronunciations using phonetic codes in Microsoft Azure involves using the Speech Synthesis Markup Language (SSML) to define how specific words or phrases should be pronounced. By embedding phonetic codes within your text input, you can control the pronunciation precisely. For example, using the ` ` tag with the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) or custom phonetic alphabets within SSML, you can specify the desired pronunciation for each word, ensuring accuracy and clarity in the generated voiceover. This flexibility allows for tailored speech outputs that match regional accents, technical jargon, or specific name pronunciations. Insider knowledge: For some reason, voiceover software has issues with pronouncing words ending in "ies," such as "policies." This customisation allows us to control the output. We have created a lexicon for challenging words. Cutting-Edge AI Technology Azure's AI-powered text-to-speech capabilities deliver natural and expressive voiceovers, enabling you to create more immersive and engaging content. With a wide range of voices and languages, you can tailor your voiceovers to match your project's specific requirements. Cost-Effective Azure's pay-as-you-go pricing model ensures that you only pay for what you use, making it a cost-effective solution for businesses of all sizes.

We recognise that they key to success is to ensure learning modules are ‘designed to be interactive and engaging’. As innovation gurus, Captovate has a number of innovative suggestions for increasing efficiency and effectiveness. While not delivered via the LMS, they do serve to create a ‘life long learning model’ - which sees learning go beyond the classroom and fit into various dimensions of a person's whole life.
