Multimedia and Flash® programming
Research tells us that more interactive online experiences, such as scenarios, games, and simulations increase engagement and learning. Monarch Media's team has developed hundreds of courses and learning objects using Flash and HTML5.
What We Do
- Apply expert graphic design to storyboard and build attractive and engaging activities, assessments, scenarios, and games
- Choose the right solution for your audience, platform, and content portability needs
- Use multimedia to achieve learning goals rather than just adding bells and whistles
- Offer expertise in video, audio, and advanced Flash scripting
- Provide options, such as our open-standard learning objects (OSLO™), that let you run complex multimedia and interactions on non-Flash compatible devices, including the iPad and iPhone

mLearning and mobile app development
Today, eLearning often means mobile learning. As learners increasingly rely on smart phones and tablet devices for Internet access and just-in-time information, it’s important to offer them mLearning options. Monarch Media specializes in creating mobile apps and tablet publications that help learners practice skills and get the information they need anytime, anywhere.
What We Do
- Integrate mLearning into your current course or training
- Focus on solutions, such as HTML5 and open-standard learning objects (OSLO™), that maximize content portability and access, including on non-Flash compatible iPads and iPhones.
- Develop mobile apps or mobile Web-based solutions, depending on your needs
- Author interactive publications for iPad, Andriod and Blackberry tablets
- Consult on mLearning strategy
Sample Project
4-H Global Knowledge Center
- Delivers interactive agriculture training materials to learners in Tanzania who use Android OS smart phones
- Includes mobile-compatible social learning tools
- Offers administrative features, such as user and role management, through a backend open-source content management platform
LMS implementation and hosting
Most eLearning solutions today are implemented via a learning management system (LMS) or content management system (CMS). These platforms provide a way to deliver content, administer courses, track usage, and report on results. Monarch Media can help you deploy your training program on an existing LMS or provide you with options for an open-source, hosted solution that can be customized to meet your needs.
What We Do
- Consult with you to find the right LMS or CMS to meet your requirements
- Customize the platform to provide the branding, reports, and tools you need
- Deploy the system either on your servers or hosted on ours as a software as a service (SaaS) offering
- Migrate your courses and content into the LMS or CMS

- Tobacco vendor compliance training program hosted by Monarch Media on the Sakai LMS
- Self-service course enrollment
