Easy-to-understand materials
≠ Highly effective
learning materials!?
No matter how accurate and easy-to-understand the materials are written, the learning effectiveness greatly changes depending on how they are expressed. The retention of learning differs significantly between text-heavy materials and interactive materials that allow learning through operation.
Therefore, the design of expression, design/interface/interaction is the key that determines learning outcomes. To realize such instructional design, it is important to utilize editing tools like Articulate 360 and develop materials into a "conveyable form."
What makes the tool effective is "instructional design"
However, simply creating materials with a good e-learning authoring tool does not produce high learning outcomes. Human Science, as a professional in instructional design, supports you from visualizing internal training issues to proposing improvement measures.
We eliminate the common feeling of "just made it for now" often seen in internal training and provide materials with a design philosophy truly needed in educational settings. Human Science's Articulate 360 courseware production outsourcing is not just a service; we continue to be a trusted "partner" who creates together and delivers results.
So, why Human Science?
Our company possesses accurate know-how based on over 20 years of extensive experience since the pioneering days of e-learning in Japan.
We are not just an employee training consulting firm. We have responded to the needs of many clients,
creating all kinds of e-learning materials. The total number exceeds approximately 2,800.
We sincerely hope to put this know-how to good use for your business.

Production Achievements
Foreign Medical Device
Manufacturer
Over 170 training programs related to orthopedic medical devices were localized into Japanese. We completed the Japanese version content optimized for healthcare professionals in about six months. Based on in-house materials in Storyline and PowerPoint formats, we handled all processes in a one-stop manner, including translation, narration recording, and video editing. The quality of translation was ensured by medical-specialized translators and reviewers, and by utilizing CAT tools (Trados), we also achieved shorter delivery times and cost reductions.
Major Restaurant Chain
Created a wide range of educational content for store staff, including cleaning, quality control, and customer service. Based on internal materials (such as PowerPoint), we developed easy-to-understand training materials using Articulate Storyline. By utilizing interactions and narration (synthetic voice), the design enables on-site staff to intuitively understand and acquire skills. Covered practical themes such as reduced tax rates and food safety, completing the project in about two months.
Major Internet
Related Services Company
Created educational content on information management when using cloud services. Based on internally created PowerPoint materials, we developed a story-driven animated course using Articulate Storyline. Centered on case studies, employees can experientially learn how to handle data, with numerous effective interactions and animations designed to maintain focus. Delivered in both Japanese and English, the project was completed in about two months.
Challenges in In-house Training: Before → After
Before
After
-
One-way information delivery to learnersPassive learning decreases not only motivation but also learning effectiveness. By incorporating interactive elements, motivation for learning is maintained.
-
Monotonous explanationsWhen explanations continue in the same tone, they become stale and harder to remember. Incorporating case studies and visual elements deepens understanding.
-
Text-heavy screensMaterials consisting only of text make it difficult to maintain concentration, reducing learning effectiveness. Utilizing illustrations and animations provides visual stimulation.
-
Standardized MaterialsStandardized materials like manuals fail to engage interest in the content, resulting in decreased comprehension. We create "understandable!" learning materials through appropriate structural design tailored to the learner's situation.
In addition, we conduct interviews regarding the learner's situation and educational objectives, incorporating various measures to provide optimal education.
