eLearning Development Australia

Custom eLearning, AI Simulations & Digital Learning Solutions

Create engaging online learning that changes behaviour — not just ticks compliance boxes.

Whether you need induction training, leadership development, compliance modules or AI-powered conversation simulations, Essemy designs learning experiences that people actually remember and apply.

What is eLearning Development?

Learning that changes behaviour

Team collaborating on custom eLearning development in a learning and development suite

A training need and a learning need aren't the same thing. We figure out which one you've got, then build something that actually changes behaviour.

Generic, off-the-shelf courses tick the compliance box but rarely shift what people do on the job. At Essemy, we design custom eLearning that combines instructional design, engaging multimedia, realistic workplace scenarios and AI-powered simulations to help learners practise real conversations before they happen.

Every project starts with your context: your policies, your risks, your people, and the specific behaviours you need to see change. That's what separates custom eLearning from a templated course library.

Our learning solutions include:

Why custom eLearning

Why organisations choose custom eLearning

Instead of generic online courses, custom eLearning lets organisations do five things a templated library never can.

Improve engagement

Interactive scenarios, branching decisions and realistic situations keep learners actively involved — making decisions, not clicking through slides of text.

Improve knowledge retention

People remember what they practise, not what they're told. Scenario-based learning builds muscle memory a policy document never will.

Scale training nationally

Once built, a module trains one person or ten thousand with the same consistency — no travel, no facilitator constraints, no variation in delivery.

Reduce delivery costs

Less classroom time and less time off the tools means a lower cost per learner — and new starters aren't waiting for the next scheduled session.

Measure learning

Track completion, assessment results and — with AI simulations — competency against specific criteria. SCORM and xAPI reporting feeds straight into your LMS, so you can show what was completed and, more importantly, how well it was understood.

AI Conversation Simulations

Practise difficult workplace conversations with AI

Take one example: having a difficult conversation. It's one of the biggest challenges in leadership — and what usually holds managers back isn't a lack of knowledge, it's confidence. They rarely get to practise before they're sitting in front of an employee, and most training stops at theory.

Essemy builds AI-powered conversation simulations using the Anthropic Claude API, where learners interact with a realistic, persona-driven AI character that responds dynamically to what they actually say — multi-turn roleplay, competency-rated feedback, difficulty levels, and SCORM-compatible reporting straight into your LMS.

Our services

Our eLearning development services

Custom eLearning Development

Built around your organisation, content, risks and house style — designed from your context, not adapted from a generic template.

Compliance Training

Make mandatory learning engaging instead of a click-through. We design compliance modules around realistic scenarios so content actually sticks.

Leadership Development

Develop confident leaders through scenario-based modules and AI simulations that let managers practise real situations, not just leadership theory.

AI Learning Simulations

Persona-based, multi-turn AI roleplay with competency feedback, built around the specific conversations your people need to get right.

Instructional Design

Learning science meets practical workplace experience — grounded in how adults actually learn and retain, not just what looks good on screen.

LMS Ready Content

SCORM and xAPI packages built to work cleanly with your existing LMS, with reporting that gives real visibility into completion and performance.

How we work

Our development process

1

Discover

We understand the behaviours you need to change, the risks you're managing, your existing content, and any LMS or rollout constraints.

2

Design

We map the learning strategy: structure, scenarios, assessment approach and, where relevant, personas and conversation flows for AI components.

3

Develop

We build in Articulate Storyline, Rise or custom HTML — including AI simulation components, voiced narration, video and graphics.

4

Review

Stakeholders review the build and we refine on feedback before anything goes live, so the final product reflects what you actually need.

5

Launch

We package and deploy into your LMS as SCORM or xAPI, tested across the platforms your learners will actually use.

6

Improve

We review completion data, assessment results and learner feedback to refine the module or plan the next phase of training.

Recent projects

A few of the custom eLearning solutions we've delivered for Australian organisations.

Dept of Water & Environment

Customer Excellence Training

A four-pillar Articulate Rise 360 program — self-management, decision-making, customer communication and networking — with interactive drag-and-drop, self-assessment sliders and a downloadable confidence report.

"The final product exceeded expectations and has been adopted as part of a Customer First program across our department."— Philip Jeffries, Manager Environment Watch, DWER
Department of Health (WA Health)

LEADS — Leads Self

Self-paced pre-work built on WA Health's LEADS Leadership Framework: self-assessment with a printable report, resilience scenarios, psychological-safety and accountability activities — designed to feed into a facilitated workshop.

Built as genuine blended pre-learning, grounded in WA Health's own values and capability framework.
Kidsafe WA

Staying Safe at Home

A warm, non-frightening five-section safety module for children — poison, burns & fire, water and sun safety — using recurring child characters, "Always remember" callouts and locked progression so key messages land.

"We're very happy with the final product. A huge thank you to Renae for all your help, patience and expertise."— Kristen Jamieson, Program Manager, Kidsafe WA
