5 Signs Your eLearning Courses Need a Redesign
Most L&D teams know their legacy courses are underperforming — but they're not sure where the line is. If any of these sound familiar, your courses are costing your organization time, money, and learner trust.
Industry data shows that the average completion rate for poorly designed legacy eLearning sits below 25%. After a professional redesign, organisations typically see completion rates rise to 65–80%. That gap represents real training value left on the table — every single month you delay.
Courses Won't Load on Mobile
Flash-based or old SCORM content that breaks on phones and tablets — blocking learners who've moved to mobile-first.
Low Completion Rates
Learners start the course but drop off halfway. Click-through, boring, text-heavy modules that no one wants to finish.
Visuals Look Outdated
Clip art, pixelated images, Windows XP-era design. Embarrassing to send to new employees or external stakeholders.
SCORM / xAPI Errors in Your LMS
Broken tracking, failed completions, and incomplete reports — your LMS can't reliably record what learners have done.
Content Is Out of Date
Policies, regulations, or procedures have changed — but the courses still reflect the old information. A compliance risk.

Get a QuoteRebuild or Refresh? Here's How to Decide
One of the most common questions we get: "Do we need to rebuild our course from scratch, or can we just refresh it?" The honest answer depends on what's broken. Here's the framework IKHYA uses on every project.Course Refresh
Update & improve what's already there
- ✅ Core content is still accurate and relevant
- ✅ Learning structure and flow makes sense
- ✅ Needs visual update or brand alignment only
- ✅ SCORM works but LMS compatibility needs fixing
- ✅ Completion rates are low due to design, not content
- ✅ Mobile optimisation is the primary issue
Full Course Rebuild
Start fresh with the same objectives
- 🔁 Content is outdated or no longer accurate
- 🔁 Flash/legacy format — cannot republish as HTML5
- 🔁 Learning objectives need to change
- 🔁 Interaction design is fundamentally poor
- 🔁 Brand has changed significantly
- 🔁 Assessments are invalid or misaligned
Mixed Approach
Some refresh, some rebuild — the most common outcome
- ♦ Large course library with varied quality
- ♦ Some modules are salvageable, others aren't
- ♦ Budget constraints — prioritise highest impact
- ♦ Phased modernisation over 6–12 months
- ♦ Compliance modules need full rebuild; soft skills just need a refresh
- ♦ Ideal for organisations with 10+ legacy courses

What Makes Our Redesign Service Different
Plenty of companies will redesign your eLearning. Very few will tell you honestly what it actually needs — and build it in a way that lasts. Here's what sets IKHYA apart.Honest Audit First, Always
We review your courses before we quote. We'll tell you if a course only needs a light refresh — even if that means less work for us. Your budget shouldn't be wasted on unnecessary rebuilds.
Tool-Agnostic Development
We develop in Articulate Storyline, Articulate Rise, Adobe Captivate, iSpring, Lectora, or any tool that fits your LMS and delivery environment — we don't lock you in.
Prototype Before Full Build
We never build your entire course library before you've seen and approved one module. A prototype sign-off step protects your budget and ensures you love the result.
Accessibility Built In
Every redesigned course meets WCAG 2.1 AA and Section 508 standards as standard — not as an add-on. Inclusive design is part of our process, not an afterthought.
Multilingual Redesign Capability
Need the redesigned course in Spanish, French, Arabic, or 40+ other languages? We handle localisation in the same project — one team, one timeline, zero complexity.
Measurable Outcome Focus
We redesign for results — not just aesthetics. Every project includes defined completion benchmarks, assessment validity checks, and LMS tracking verification before handover.
Everything You Need to Know About eLearning Course Redesign
Honest answers to the questions L&D managers, HR directors, and training teams ask us most often about redesigning legacy eLearning courses.What is eLearning course redesign?
eLearning course redesign is the process of updating, modernising, or rebuilding an existing digital training course to improve its performance. This can include fixing broken technical issues (such as SCORM errors or Flash incompatibility), refreshing outdated visuals and branding, improving the instructional design and interactions, updating content to reflect current policies or regulations, and optimising the course for mobile devices. The goal is always to increase learner engagement, completion rates, and knowledge retention.
How much does it cost to redesign an eLearning course?
The cost of redesigning an eLearning course depends on whether it needs a refresh (light updates to design and technical issues) or a full rebuild (new instructional design, content, and development). A course refresh typically costs 30–50% of what a new custom course would cost. A full rebuild is closer to the cost of building from scratch. IKHYA provides a free course audit before quoting — so you only pay for exactly what your course needs. Contact us for a scoped estimate.
How long does an eLearning course redesign take?
A course refresh typically takes 2–3 weeks per module. A full rebuild takes 4–6 weeks per module. For large course libraries, we recommend a phased approach — starting with your highest-priority or most-used modules and working through the library in planned batches. We provide a specific delivery timeline as part of your free audit and scoping process.
Can you fix Flash-based eLearning courses that no longer work?
Yes. Flash was discontinued in 2020 and all major browsers have blocked it completely. We convert Flash and legacy SWF-based courses into fully responsive HTML5 eLearning that works on any browser, any device, and any modern LMS — without needing a plugin. In most cases we can preserve the original content and structure while giving it a completely modern technical and visual foundation.
Will the redesigned course work in our LMS?
Yes. All redesigned courses are delivered as SCORM 1.2, SCORM 2004, or xAPI-compliant packages — compatible with every major LMS including Cornerstone, SAP SuccessFactors, Moodle, TalentLMS, Docebo, Canvas, Blackboard, and more. We also carry out LMS validation testing as part of our QA process before final delivery to make sure tracking, completion, and scoring all work correctly in your specific environment.
Do you redesign courses and then translate them too?
Yes. IKHYA offers combined redesign and localisation services — redesigning the master course and then translating it into any of 40+ languages as part of the same project. This is significantly more efficient and cost-effective than running redesign and translation as separate projects. Native-speaking translators and voice talent work alongside our instructional designers throughout the process.
What authoring tools do you use for course redesign?
We use Articulate Storyline, Articulate Rise, Adobe Captivate, iSpring Suite, Lectora, dominKnow, and Elucidat — selecting the right tool based on your LMS environment, the complexity of interactions required, your team's future content maintenance needs, and your delivery timeline. We never recommend a tool to suit our workflow — only to suit yours.
Can you redesign just the visuals without changing the content?
Absolutely. A visual and brand refresh is one of our most popular redesign options. We update the look and feel — colours, fonts, images, icons, layouts, UI components — without touching the underlying content or learning structure. This is ideal when the instructional design is sound but the course looks dated, or when your organisation's brand has changed and needs to be reflected across your training library.
