Use Our Research Services

Thinking about starting a new program and wondering about placement opportunities and start up costs? Our team researches current market conditions, accreditation requirements, and implementation costs so that you can determine program feasibility.

Survey. Analyze. Report.
We start the research process with a survey of faculty, students, and/or local businesses related to program implementation and improvement. We then analyze typical program and course requirements and identify any licensing, certification, and accreditation requirements. Finally, we report on current job markets and related statistics.

Leverage Our Program & Course Development Services

Course Development Services handles a wide scope of course and program development—everything from developing course syllabi to writing program and course level outcomes with associated assessments.

Develop. Design. Standardize.
We develop programs and courses with outcomes tied to job, professional association, and accreditation requirements. We recommend course lists and course descriptions and provide weekly/daily lesson plans built to your specifications.

Regardless of your delivery method—on-ground, online, or a combination of both—our team of instructional designers design courses and programs that cover what students need to learn. All course content, assignments and assessments, and exams map back to the objectives and outcomes established during the accreditation process. This enables you to determine whether or not students are mastering course material.

We can help you standardize curricula between on-ground, online, and hybrid courses and programs. We can also work with multiple campuses in standardizing curricula across different schools.

Take Advantage of Our Course Implementation Services

On-ground, online, and hybrid courses are created to customer specification using Cengage Learning content and assets. Our team of experts can create original material and media when necessary and provide faculty training. Enrollment requirements apply based on project complexity.

Create. Build. Host. Train.
We create customized student and instructor materials, including content asset maps, lesson plans and storyboards, and original content and media resources (audio, simulations, assessments, etc.)

We build online courses that are available for delivery in several different ways. Cengage Learning can:

• supply a course cartridge for you to load into your Learning Management System (LMS),
• build the course directly in your LMS, or
• provide our assets for you to load into your LMS.

We can also host your course through our technical course support. CourseCartridge (formerly WebTutor), CengageNOW, and CLMS (Angel) are just a few of the platforms available.

And finally, Cengage Learning can train your faculty in cooperation with our TeamUP program.
