E-learning - Authoring Tool Trainings

E-learning and digital learning: a sustainable investment by Swiss companies

E-learning and digital learning have become, in 2026, structuring levers of skills development in companies. New employee onboarding, compliance training (GDPR, anti-money laundering, IT security), digital transformation, support of skill ramp-up on Microsoft 365 or Power Platform: internal e-learning module production multiplies the impact of training teams. In Geneva, Lausanne and across French-speaking Switzerland, private banks, international organisations, hospitals, public services and large industrial companies structure their digital production around the Adobe Captivate and Articulate Storyline authoring tools.

Following a recognised E-learning and Authoring Tools training opens access to valued roles: instructional designer, pedagogical engineer, digital learning specialist, training officer, internal trainer. These skills are particularly expected in training, HR and digital learning departments of large organisations scaling their internal production, and at training organisations and pedagogy consulting companies.

ITTA offers a catalogue dedicated to e-learning production: Adobe Captivate, Articulate Storyline and E-Learning Pedagogy. Each session is built around practical cases inspired by the daily work of training projects in French-speaking Switzerland, with limited group sizes to enable personalised support and individual feedback on your own modules.

Whether you are a beginner instructional designer, internal trainer, digital learning specialist, training officer or pedagogy consultant, our training in Geneva and Lausanne provides the practical skills to produce engaging e-learning modules, structure your pedagogical approach and industrialise your internal production.

Skills covered by our e-learning catalogue

Adobe Captivate, create dynamic e-learning courses

The Adobe Captivate Create dynamic e-learning courses training covers the complete onboarding of the Adobe authoring tool. The programme addresses the interface, slides, interactive objects (buttons, click zones, drag and drop), quizzes and assessments, SCORM, xAPI and HTML5 exports, screen recording for software tutorials, and multi-device responsiveness. This training suits beginner profiles in digital learning and anyone joining an Adobe-equipped e-learning team.

Articulate Storyline, create engaging e-learning courses

The Articulate Storyline Create engaging e-learning courses training covers the onboarding of Articulate, the other leading authoring tool on the e-learning market. The programme addresses the scenes and slides interface, layers and states, triggers and variables, quizzes and assessments, SCORM and xAPI exports, integration with Articulate Review and the 360 ecosystem. This training suits Articulate-equipped digital learning profiles, particularly widespread in large international organisations and bank training departments.

E-Learning Pedagogy

The E-Learning Pedagogy training goes beyond authoring tool technical mastery to address the pedagogical quality of modules. The programme addresses training needs analysis, pedagogical objective definition, scenario structuring, learner engagement, evaluation and effectiveness measurement, and accessibility best practices. This training suits all instructional designers, trainers and training officers wishing to professionalise the quality of their productions beyond technical aspects.

Build your e-learning path

A newcomer to digital learning starts with E-Learning Pedagogy to acquire pedagogical fundamentals, then trains on the authoring tool of their organisation (Adobe Captivate or Articulate Storyline). A confirmed instructional designer who already masters pedagogy directly follows the authoring tool training matching their context. A training officer or pedagogical engineer combines E-Learning Pedagogy and an authoring tool to drive a team and ensure overall quality. An internal trainer wishing to produce their own e-learning materials follows the authoring tool training matching their equipment, possibly complementing with E-Learning Pedagogy. Our pedagogical team guides you towards the sequence suited to your role and tools.

E-learning and related skills

Digital learning fits into a broader multimedia, HR and training ecosystem. Multimedia training brings an overview of creative tools (Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere Pro, After Effects, Animate). The 3D and animation sub-domain covers Adobe Animate CC, complementary to produce vector animations in your modules. Video and sound training brings Premiere Pro and After Effects, essential to produce video capsules integrated into your e-learning modules. The graphic arts and publishing sub-domain reinforces the visual quality of materials. On the human side, HR practices training brings a view of training processes, and the written communication domain structures pedagogical content writing.

E-learning and digital learning trends in 2026

Several evolutions are shaping e-learning in 2026. xAPI (Experience API, or Tin Can) standards are gaining maturity against SCORM, which opens richer use cases in learning analytics. Generative AI is entering e-learning production for scenario writing, multilingual translation, voiceover generation and image creation, provided you keep a critical pedagogical view. Short formats (microlearning, 3 to 5 minute pills) are gaining popularity against traditional long modules. Mobile learning requires responsive and accessible modules. Modern LMSs (Moodle, 360Learning, Talent LMS, Microsoft Learn for Microsoft 365 content) now integrate advanced analytics features. Our pedagogical content regularly integrates these evolutions to remain aligned with current company practices.

FAQ

Which authoring tool to choose between Adobe Captivate and Articulate Storyline?

Both tools are equivalent in functional coverage. The choice generally depends on the organisational context: Articulate Storyline is widespread in international organisations and private banking training departments, Adobe Captivate naturally integrates with the Adobe Creative Cloud ecosystem already used by communication departments. Our pedagogical team guides you towards the training matching your internal stack.

Is pedagogical experience required before Adobe Captivate or Storyline?

Basic knowledge of pedagogical principles helps to leverage the tools. The Captivate and Storyline training courses remain accessible to profiles without prior pedagogical experience, possibly complemented with E-Learning Pedagogy. Our pedagogical team guides you according to your role and use cases.

Is e-learning really effective?

Well-designed e-learning is very effective for onboarding, compliance training, software skill ramp-up and transformation support. It generally complements on-site or virtual classroom training rather than fully replacing it. Our E-Learning Pedagogy training precisely addresses the contexts where e-learning is most relevant.

Are your e-learning courses available for companies?

Yes, the entire catalogue is available in-house, in Geneva, Lausanne and in virtual classroom, with a programme adapted to your LMS, internal authoring tools and pedagogical brand identity. Our team builds the specifications with you and organises sessions according to your calendar.
