Oppida FAQs

General information about Oppida

Why do we need elearning agencies when there are free resources like YouTube and MOOCs?

Free resources are great for general learning, but they lack depth and customisation. Oppida creates bespoke eLearning solutions tailored to specific organisational goals, ensuring comprehensive, structured learning that delivers measurable results.

Can’t our in-house team handle training and course development?

In-house teams are valuable but often lack the expertise and resources for large-scale, high-quality eLearning. Oppida brings advanced instructional design, educational technology, and experience handling complex projects to ensure scalable, superior training.

What makes Oppida different from other eLearning providers?

Oppida distinguishes itself with rich media expertise, specialising in high-quality videos and immersive learning content. Our sophisticated eLearning solutions leverage advanced instructional design and integrate with LMS systems seamlessly. This ensures the delivery of professional, scalable, and tailored learning experiences that meet both learner needs and customer requirements.

How long has Oppida been in business?

For over five years, Oppida has been a leading eLearning provider, producing more than 350 educational videos, developing approximately 250 learning experiences, and serving 100 unique clients. Our proven expertise and extensive experience position us as a trusted authority in educational design.

Who does Oppida serve?

Oppida serves a wide range of customers, including:

  • Expert government bodies, NFPs, councils, and associations, helping them build courses to train members, staff, and clients.
  • Subject matter experts, consultants, and startups, creating dynamic learning CPD marketplaces, programs, or staff training.
  • Higher Education and Vocational providers, re-designing, migrating, or uplifting blended qualifications and degrees.

Technology and innovation

With the rise of AI, why not automate learning development?

AI is powerful, but without expert oversight, it can fall short. Oppida combines AI-driven insights with human-centred design to create impactful, personalised, and pedagogically sound learning experiences that align with customer objectives.

Which modern technologies and platforms does Oppida use for learning solutions and system integration?

Oppida specialises in technologies such as Canvas, Moodle, Thinkific, Rise, and H5P to create bespoke eLearning solutions. However, we are not limited to these technologies. We integrate seamlessly with a wide range of LMS and SaaS platforms to ensure smooth implementation and flexibility while maintaining your existing infrastructure.

How does Oppida address the growing need for continual upskilling and the evolving connection between education and work?

Oppida designs flexible, learner-centred eLearning experiences that prioritise accessibility and relevance to meet the growing demand for continual upskilling. By leveraging an extensive tech stack, Oppida provides engaging, self-paced modules that align with the fast-changing needs of professionals.

Quality and customisation

What are Oppida's views on open source content VS custom content for learning experiences?

Oppida believes that both open source content (YouTube) and custom content have valuable roles in creating effective learning experiences, depending on the project's needs, goals and budget. 

Open source content offers cost-effective, readily available resources that can accelerate course development, particularly for foundational or widely applicable topics. However, custom content provides tailored learning experiences designed to meet specific learner needs, organisational goals, and brand identity. 

Oppida often recommends a blended approach, combining open source content for efficiency with custom content to ensure relevance, engagement, and alignment with specific learning objectives. 

How does Oppida ensure quality?

Oppida ensures all learning experiences are of the highest quality by aligning learning objectives with assessments (if applicable), co-designing with subject matter experts, and continuously refining content based on learner feedback and outcomes.

To measure the impact of our eLearning solutions, we utilise data-driven analytics from platforms like Thinkific, Canvas, and Rise to track learner progress, engagement, and performance metrics. These technologies allow us to regularly assess the effectiveness of content and make necessary improvements, ensuring that our solutions are both high-quality and impactful.

Pricing and support

How much do Oppida’s services cost?

Oppida uses a fair and transparent pricing model based on each project's scope and complexity. We refine our processes to improve efficiency and reduce customers' costs. Our custom quotes offer tiered options, providing flexibility while ensuring high-quality, tailored solutions.

What kind of support do you offer post-launch?

Post-launch, Oppida can offer comprehensive support through a managed service agreement, including platform/LMS management and ongoing content updates. We assist with troubleshooting, performance monitoring, and implementing necessary improvements, ensuring that learning solutions stay relevant, effective, and up-to-date.
