Imagine this: A client that you haven’t heard from in a while contacts you and asks for a fire safety course that you delivered more than a year ago. Looking through your documents, you notice that you have three different fire safety courses.

What Should I Include on My e-Learning Design and Development Checklist?
As we move through our hands-on Articulate training covering the various settings and features of Storyline 360, we often mention, “You might want to add this item to your ‘QA’ checklist.” Many students have inquired about what is involved with creating such a list for quality assurance (QA). Let’s discuss the benefits of using a checklist before passing your project on for either internal or customer review, and then some tips and best practices for compiling your own.
