Applied Dynamic e-Learning Processes & Tools (ADEPT^TM) offered by Avalon Consulting, LLC is a content development methodology for creating e-Learning that is customizable to fit your organizational needs and selected development technologies.

ADEPT enables you to quickly implement the Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation (ADDIE) model within an e-Learning context. ADDIE is the industry standard used by instructional designers and training developers for developing training content. The tools and templates provided in ADEPT allow you to organize, jump start and rapidly complete your content development cycle based on this accepted industry standard.

ADEPT will provide you with a consistent and measurable content development workflow governed by standards and best practices that are tailored for your organization. Your content authors will enjoy the ease of use of the ADEPT tools and templates that will simplify the ADDIE model and guide them through the development process to ensure they are creating high-quality and educationally sound training. Your organization will gain the experience needed to ensure you are using your e-Learning technologies in the most efficient (and effective) way possible.

ADEPT provides several proven features that enhance any e-Learning development effort, including:

• A structured workflow that can be customized for a centralized or decentralized content development environment
• A sound instructional design process that will meet your business goals and the course objectives
• Instructional design and content authoring templates that can be customized to fit your specific technology environment
• A process that allows you to easily engage faculty and/or subject matter experts into the content authoring cycle so that the appropriate learning objectives are met with the most valuable content
• A set of standards and best practices that are customized to ensure consistency and quality for your training products
• The support of Avalon’s expert e-Learning Consultants who will guide you through your first development cycle so that you can properly deploy ADEPT in your specific environment and maximize the value of your e-Learning technologies

Unlike a one-time workshop or seminar, Avalon will partner with you during the implementation of one ADEPT cycle to ensure you have gained the confidence and skills needed to repeat the ADEPT process. Your future e-Learning projects will have the advantage of being built using a proven industry standard, enhanced with the experience and knowledge you gained from seasoned e-Learning consultants.

ADEPT, part of Academic Curriculum Planning & Development (also consisting of eCLIP and Standards & Best Practices) along with Program Management comprise the "Online University in a Box" service offering.
