Custom eLearning development, nearshore from Mexico

A full eLearning production team in your time zone: instructional design, content development, graphic and web design, professional video, and SCORM, HTML, or xAPI development — in English, Spanish, or both. For US companies, universities, and schools that want agency-quality courses without the agency overhead.

What is nearshore eLearning development?

It means outsourcing custom eLearning development to a team in a nearby country that shares your time zones. From Mexico — Central, Mountain, and Pacific time — our instructional designers, writers, graphic designers, and developers work during US business hours, so reviews and feedback happen the same day instead of overnight. You get one team covering the full cycle, from needs analysis to a published course with analytics.

Why US teams choose a nearshore eLearning partner

What changes when your production team is a short flight away instead of twelve time zones away.

  • Same time zones, same-day feedback

    We work US business hours. Kickoffs, storyboard reviews, and approvals happen live — not in an email chain that loses a day per round.

  • Truly bilingual production

    Courses written natively in English and in Spanish with a shared glossary — not machine-translated afterwards.

  • One team, the full cycle

    Content design, instructional design, editorial, graphic and web design, video, development, and measurement, under one project lead.

  • Standards your LMS already speaks

    SCORM 1.2/2004, xAPI, or HTML5, built in Storyline, Rise, Captivate, H5P, or custom code, and tested in your platform before delivery.

  • Fixed-price scopes

    Every proposal comes with three scope options at a fixed price, so you decide with numbers.

  • An extension of your L&D team

    We follow your templates, style guide, and review process — for a single phase or for the whole project.

Formats

Methods and formats we produce

Every topic calls for its own format. We combine the ones that teach yours best — and all of them are tracked on your platform.

Employee answering a question inside an interactive video

Interactive videos with questions

The video pauses and asks: a right answer moves on, a wrong one gets feedback or takes another path. Every answer is measured, not just whether someone "watched it".

Voice talent recording a narrative training podcast

Podcasts and storytelling

Stories with characters and conflict for topics a slide makes forgettable; in audio, to learn on the commute.

Interactive books, crosswords, and gamified challenges

Interactive books, gamification, and crosswords

Storybook-style books, challenges with points and badges, crosswords, word searches, and trivia.

Professional training video shoot

Professional video, with or without subtitles

Script, filming, editing, animation, and English or Spanish subtitles for accessibility.

Designer producing learning objects and infographics

Simulators and learning objects

Decision-based scenarios, system simulators, infographics, and reusable resources.

Live demo

Try it: operate an engine manipulator in 360°

A working scenario, built with WebGL, that runs in the browser without installing anything. Look around the cell, learn the pendant and complete the lifting cycle.

  • Look around the cell in 360° and change viewpoint
  • Every pendant button explained
  • Safety interlocks that stop a wrong move
  • Checklist, cell map and activity log (xAPI-style)

Simulators and 360° scenarios

Simulators and 360° scenarios we build into your courses

Reading about a procedure is not the same as doing it. We build scenarios where people practice, make mistakes without risk, and every decision is recorded.

Process

How a nearshore project runs

Six phases, each with a deliverable you approve: no surprises at the end.

  1. Assessment and content design

    We review your material, interview your subject-matter experts, and define what goes in, what is left over, and what is missing.

    Deliverable: outline and sources
  2. Instructional design

    Measurable objectives, sequence, activities, and assessment; script and storyboard screen by screen.

    Deliverable: approved script and storyboard
  3. Editorial

    Clear writing, copyediting, brand tone, and a bilingual glossary when the course ships in two languages.

    Deliverable: final copy
  4. Graphic and web design

    A visual line with your identity and a responsive interface for phone, tablet, and desktop.

    Deliverable: visual line and screens
  5. Multimedia production and development

    Video, voice-over, animation, and interactions; packaged in SCORM, HTML, or xAPI.

    Deliverable: working course
  6. Launch, measurement, and continuous improvement

    We test in your LMS, publish, and analyze clicks and answers to tell you what to reinforce.

    Deliverable: published course and report

In-house, US agency, offshore, or nearshore

Four ways to get a course built. The trade-offs are time zones, language, and how much of the cycle one team covers.

We measure behavior, not just the grade

A grade tells you whether someone passed; behavior tells you why. We instrument the course with xAPI to record what each person does and turn it into continuous-improvement decisions for your employees or students.

  • Clicks and navigation paths, screen by screen
  • Answers per question and per attempt
  • Time per lesson and the points where people drop off
  • Reports by person, department, site, or group
  • Which topics to reinforce and which screens to redesign

For companies, universities, and schools

The same method, adapted to the audience: a shift worker does not learn the way a graduate student does.

01

One team, three services

You can hire the full cycle or a single phase: online course production end to end, instructional design services when your team will build the course, or eLearning content development when the bottleneck is the writing and the visuals. If you also need the platform, see our LMS implementation.

02

Operations in Mexico? We are already there

If your company runs plants or offices in Mexico, we produce locally with teams in Mexico City, Monterrey, Guadalajara, Querétaro, and León: on-site filming, interviews with your Spanish-speaking experts, and reporting that stays comparable with headquarters.
