Specialist content becomes learning products. Not PDFs in an LMS
Specialist books and book chapters become digital learning arrangements with learning goals, exercises, scenarios and AI learning support – from the work you have already published.
The e-book is the digitization of the content. Not of the learning
Specialist publishers have long since digitized their works. What emerges from that, however, is usually the same book in a different file format: readable, searchable, sellable – and still a text you work through alone.
The step from specialist book to guided learning product usually fails because of production costs: concept, script, authoring tool, production, review. For a single title, it is not worth it.
Four steps, always the same
Specialist work or chapter
The work that has already been published
Structure and learning goals
Modules, chapters, learning goals – source-faithful to the original
Learning path
A path through the material instead of a reading list
Exercise and scenario
Quizzes, flashcards, scenarios, podcasts, videos
Source fidelity is the business foundation here: Every generated piece of content can be traced back to a page in the original work, and the authors give their approval.
Situations where ValCom comes into play
Give a specialist work a second life as a learning product
The same content, a second product: guided, interactive, with exercises and learning support. Without a new production pipeline.
Make authors an offer
Whoever wrote a standard reference work can offer a digital learning product under their own name from it – the publisher delivers the infrastructure.
Reactivate the backlist
Titles whose sales have flattened get a second form of exploitation, without a new edition being necessary.
Serve corporate clients directly
Companies look for content for their further education. As a learning product instead of a book license, a specialist work becomes immediately usable for them.
ValCom Studio produces, ValCom Learning delivers
Studio
Book chapters turn into learning goals, lessons, quizzes, flashcards, scenarios, podcasts and videos – source-faithful and approved by the authors.
DeliveryLearning
Your readers become learners: a learning path, practical tasks, reflection, VIA as a companion.
OptionalDiagnostics
When your offering should dock onto competency profiles, for example with corporate clients.
Your own environment. Your own instance with your logo and your colors, your own models, sources and configuration – no mixing with other clients.
One chapter is enough
Give us one chapter from one of your works. From it, we build a learning path excerpt with learning goals, lessons and an exercise – on your title, not on a demo example.
