Advance Northumberland provided SkillSet with raw content on topics such as finance, growth, employment, management, marketing, SEO, GDPR and Microsoft Office. SkillSet then used Articulate Storyline and Vyond to develop this content into the training modules.

To ensure that the learning modules provided a rich, engaging and coherent training programme, SkillSet worked closely with Advance Northumberland subject matter experts to identify and understand the needs of the learners and how best to convey the range of subjects.

SkillSet used Joomla and Moodle to create the ePortal. Moodle allows users to access the online support, browser articles and blogs, as well as an events booking system.  SkillSet worked closely with Advance Northumberland to identify  issues, provide the required reporting  and deliver the solution on time.

To meet the ePortal availability requirements, SkillSet used an Amazon-based cloud server to host the ePortal, with built- in system redundancy and the capability to cope with increased load from increasing content and additional users.

Once live, the server was monitored to check performance stayed within acceptable parameters with additional resources being added to meet peak load when required.

Throughout the project, SkillSet and Advance Northumberland established an honest and open stream of communication to ensure effective review of the project deliverables.
