Challenge

CheckFree trains and educates its thousands of associates and partners via elearning courses in order to save time and money. In creating these courses, the elearning group experienced several problems with the two different authoring packages they were using for development. 

Sighle Brackman, Training Staff Consultant at CheckFree stated, “The most significant issues with the competing authoring packages included:

• User interaction in the authoring tool was too complex
• Steep learning curve with too much technical expertise required for trainers
• Technical and distribution issues resulting from plug-in requirements for running courses from a browser or LMS

Solution

Due to these issues, they began investigating Lectora authoring software, which they learned about through several contacts and colleagues.

After a thorough evaluation by Brackman and five other associates at CheckFree, they chose Lectora for their elearning authoring solution. “I remember seeing my first demo on Lectora and being blown away,” said Brackman. “I was simply amazed at what I saw and was thinking ‘Yes! This is exactly what we need.’”

The CheckFree team cited Lectora’s ease of use, reasonable learning curve, plug-in free functionality, and easy PowerPoint® integration as key factors in their decision. 

Most importantly, Lectora could easily integrate with any LMS allowing CheckFree to track associates’ assessments and ensure compliance within the banking industry.

“The benefits of Lectora have extended ‘beyond the basics’ for CheckFree and provide the company with a full elearning solution.”
