Define acceptance before testing
Agree the content, functional and delivery requirements. Identify which checks cover every item, which use a sample and which need customer or platform-owner input.
STANDALONE CONTENT DEVELOPMENT
Custom courseware quality checks and target-LMS handover.
Define content, interaction, accessibility requirements, package behavior and source-file acceptance before handing over a custom eLearning release.
Prepare a courseware brief →THE DEVELOPMENT SCOPEQuality & delivery handover,
Quality & delivery handover,
with clear acceptance.
Acceptance should explain what was checked, in which environment and against which version. We scope content review, learner-journey checks, agreed accessibility requirements and target-platform validation as distinct activities. A successful upload alone does not establish that every learning path or record behavior was accepted.
Inputs we agree first
- 01The approved brief, asset version and acceptance checklist
- 02Target environment, permitted access and output specification
- 03Named content, release and technical decision owners
DESIGN / BUILD / CHECKA production path
A production path
you can inspect.
Validate representative behavior
Review navigation, media, decisions and assessment or completion behavior where scoped. Record failed checks and retest the agreed correction.
Make the handover inspectable
Connect approved assets, check evidence, source rights and operating instructions. Identify the receiving owner and any dependencies that remain unresolved.
ACCEPTANCE & HANDOVERDefine the checks
Define the checks
before the release.
- 01Each check references an output version and environment.
- 02Accessibility requirements and review methods are agreed.
- 03Failures, retests and exclusions remain visible.
- 04Handover includes the agreed assets, rights and instructions.
Do you guarantee compatibility with every LMS?
No blanket compatibility is assumed. Agree the output format and validate the relevant behavior in the actual target environment using authorized access or a defined customer-led test.
Can accessibility requirements be included in development?
Yes, define the required standard or requirements, audience needs and review method in the scope. Identify the evidence required for acceptance; do not infer certification from a general design claim.
What should accompany the final course files?
Agree a delivery inventory, version references, review and test records, source-file rights, release notes and known limitations. The customer should be able to identify exactly what was accepted.
COURSEWARE OUTSOURCING / BUYER DECISIONS
Accept the output that was actually inspected.
Define the delivered version, required checks, target environment and receiving owner. Preserve findings, retests and exclusions rather than treat a preview or successful upload as complete acceptance.
| Check layer | What to establish | Evidence to hand over |
|---|---|---|
| Content | The delivered interpretation matches the authorized source and approval. | Reviewed asset version and content decision reference. |
| Learner journey | The agreed choices, feedback, navigation and assessment paths behave as specified. | Covered cases, findings, corrected build and retest record. |
| Media and audience needs | Agreed playback, captions, language and accessibility requirements are checked by the defined method. | Asset list, review coverage and unresolved limitations. |
| Target delivery | The scoped launch and relevant record behavior is checked in the identified environment. | Environment, output version, observed results and receiving owner. |
| Reuse and ownership | Published assets, editable projects and third-party rights match the agreed inventory. | Delivered files, source arrangements, licenses and maintenance handoff. |
