authoring services
Cognisco offers a full range of services to organisations who either have their own specialist Instructional Designers or who would like a full authoring service. The Authoring Services can include the provision of qualified personnel only or, as many of Cognisco’s clients prefer, use both personnel and authoring products including Cognisco Question Composer™ and Cognisco Incubator™ in conjunction with Cognisco Milestone™.
Cognisco authors are skilled in the art of writing assessment questionnaires. All authoring projects are managed by both Cognisco’s Assessment Solutions Consultants and Project Managers to ensure quality and delivery on time. The rates for learning and assessment authoring are comparable with contract technical author rates. If organisations employ their own Subject Matter Experts (SMEs), or want to set up their own in-house authoring team, Cognisco can offer learning and assessment authoring consultancy, recruitment and training.
Cognisco authors are skilled in the art of writing sophisticated questions to measure whether an individual understands a specific subject but also measure their depth of understanding that subject. A Cognisco authored learning and assessment programme ensures that:
All questions will allow the employees to demonstrate that they have achieved all the intended learning outcomes
All questions will be unambiguous and uncomplicated
All questions will ensure that core competency, skills and knowledge for that particular job role, level or family are assessed
All questions will be clear and delivered in the local language
Questions will present increasingly complex scenarios as the individuals move up the job levels
All questions will be tested for appropriateness before assessment programmes go live
All questions will be challenging rather than overcomplicated
In addition Cognisco has developed the 8 Steps to Growing a Cognisco, a unique training programme for companies who wish to grow the skills to author content for their own learning and assessment solutions.
