What we convert

Convert the training content you already have.

Your existing material contains valuable knowledge. We reorganize, simplify and rebuild it into learning that is easier to understand, complete and apply.

Select your starting material
Have a mix of formats? Most projects begin with several different sources.

PowerPoint to eLearning

Move beyond narrated slides.

We turn existing slide decks and speaker notes into structured digital learning with a clear progression, relevant practice and purposeful interaction.

What changes
  • Restructure slides around clear learning objectives instead of presentation order.
  • Turn examples and discussion points into decisions, scenarios and learner practice.
  • Add visual support, narration and feedback only where they improve understanding.

From source material to learning experience

The content stays. The learning experience changes.

Effective training content conversion is not a copy-and-paste exercise. We preserve your subject matter expertise while redesigning how employees understand, practise and use it.

Nothing valuable is thrown away. We retain the expertise, remove the friction and build what the original material was missing.

Our conversion process

A clear path from source files to LMS-ready learning.

Every training content conversion project follows a structured, collaborative process. You always know what we are working on, what we need from you and what comes next.

Select a project stage

Stage 01

Understand the content, audience and technical requirements.

We review your PowerPoints, PDFs, manuals, SOPs, recordings or existing courses to determine what should be retained, revised, removed or expanded.

What we examine
  • Learning goals and intended audience
  • Content quality, volume and organization
  • Accessibility and localization requirements
  • LMS, SCORM and reporting requirements
What we need from you

Existing source files, brand guidelines, access to a subject matter expert and any known LMS specifications.

Stage output Recommended approach, project scope and conversion plan

The exact process is adapted to the size, condition and complexity of your existing training materials.

Choosing the right build

The right format depends on the training.

We recommend a development approach based on what your learners need to do, how they will access the course and how often your content is likely to change.

01 Interaction and practice
02 Device and learner context
03 Updates and maintenance
01 Articulate Storyline 360 Custom interactions, scenarios and software simulations High interaction
Best suited for
  • Scenario-based and decision-focused training
  • Software and process simulations
  • Compliance courses requiring controlled navigation
  • Custom visual or interaction requirements
What it provides

Precise control over the learner experience, visual design, branching, feedback and assessment behaviour.

SCORM 1.2 SCORM 2004 xAPI
02 Articulate Rise 360 Responsive learning that is easier to update and maintain Multi-device
Best suited for
  • Employee onboarding and product knowledge
  • Policy, procedure and reference-based learning
  • Courses accessed across phones, tablets and desktops
  • Content that needs regular internal updates
What it provides

A clean, responsive course structure with efficient development, straightforward navigation and easier ongoing maintenance.

SCORM 1.2 SCORM 2004 Responsive
03 Combined course approach Rise structure with focused Storyline interactions Balanced build
Best suited for
  • Larger programs with varied content types
  • Training needing both speed and deeper practice
  • Responsive courses with selected custom interactions
  • Programs balancing budget, maintenance and engagement
What it provides

The responsive framework of Rise with Storyline blocks added where simulation, decisions or more advanced practice deliver genuine value.

We make the recommendation after reviewing your source material—not according to whichever tool produces the largest project.

LMS-ready delivery

Ready for your LMS—not merely handed over as a ZIP file.

We configure, test and package your converted training so it behaves properly inside your learning management system and gives your team what it needs for a confident launch.

Correct publishing configuration Completion, passing scores, reporting and resume behaviour are configured around your requirements.
Functional and browser testing Navigation, interactions, media, assessments and course completion are checked before delivery.
Accessibility checks Keyboard operation, focus order, contrast, text alternatives and learner controls are reviewed.
Organized project handoff You receive the agreed publish package, source files, supporting assets and clear implementation notes.

Final acceptance testing can also be completed in your staging environment when LMS access is available.

Training conversion FAQs

Questions before you hand over the source files?

Here are the practical answers teams usually need before beginning a training content conversion project.

Still unsure? Send us a sample of your existing training material. Ask about your project
01 What types of training content can Hiveminds convert?

We can convert PowerPoint decks, PDFs, SOPs, policy documents, manuals, instructor-led workshops, webinars, recorded presentations and legacy eLearning courses. We review the material first to determine what can be reused and what needs to be reorganized or rebuilt.

02 Can you convert PowerPoint or PDF content into Storyline or Rise?

Yes. We convert PowerPoint and PDF training into courses built in Articulate Storyline 360, Rise 360 or a combination of both. The source material is redesigned for online learning rather than simply copied from one format into another.

03 Can you update or rebuild an existing SCORM course?

Usually. If editable source files are available, we can review and update the existing build. If only the published SCORM package is available, the course may need to be reconstructed. We will assess the files before recommending the most efficient approach.

04 Does our content need to be completely finalized first?

Not necessarily. We can help identify gaps, repetition and unclear sections during the content audit. However, the appropriate subject matter experts should be available to verify accuracy and approve meaningful content changes before development is completed.

05 Will the converted course work in our LMS?

We can publish courses for common learning standards including SCORM 1.2 and SCORM 2004. Completion, passing scores and reporting behaviour are configured around your LMS requirements. When staging access is available, we can also support final acceptance testing in your learning environment.

06 Can accessibility and translation be included?

Yes. Accessibility requirements can be incorporated into the learning design and development process, including keyboard operation, focus order, contrast and text alternatives. We can also prepare courses for translation and reintegrate translated content into Storyline or Rise.

07 How are project cost and timeline determined?

Cost and timing depend on the amount and condition of the source content, course length, interaction level, media requirements, accessibility needs and review process. We provide a project estimate after reviewing representative materials so the scope is based on the actual work—not a blind per-slide price.

Start with what you have

Your existing content is already the starting point.

Send us a representative deck, manual, SOP or existing course. We will review what you have and recommend the smartest way to turn it into effective, LMS-ready learning.
