The Diverse Content Challenge

How do you create a unified learner experience and measure metrics across diverse content formats?


This is the next blog in a ​series that addresses key challenges reported by educational publishers and edtech providers. The other blogs are listed at the end of this blog.


Today’s topic: Content from diverse sources can vary greatly in formats, including various user interfaces, presentation styles, assessment structures, data representation and more. How do you create a unified learner experience and standardize analytics across formats?


THE PROBLEM 

Organizations typically source content from various specialized authoring tools and systems, resulting in a diverse array of content formats, including activities, assessments, simulations, and other interactive elements. As standards and formats evolve over time, large publishers accumulate extensive libraries of content objects with varying technical characteristics - from different navigation and presentation elements to distinct scoring formats and data analytics rules.


The challenge lies in leveraging and assembling these diverse content types into a single cohesive experience without requiring fundamental changes to the original content. This complexity extends beyond mere presentation and navigation concerns, particularly given the growing importance of modern features that depend on high-quality, standardized data collection and analysis.


A SOLUTION

At Compro, we arrived at a solution by providing a unified interface layer— the ComproDLS Content Bridge—that enables seamless integration of diverse content formats into a cohesive learning experience. This solution acts as an intelligent middleware that normalizes the behavior and data collection across different content types while preserving their original functionality.


This Content Bridge acts as an intermediary layer between the user experience layer and different content formats. For example, a legacy content package and a modern HTML5 interactive can both be integrated through the bridge, which handles the necessary transformations.


Consider a publisher with an existing library of legacy content transitioning to HTML5. The Content Bridge allows both formats to:

  • Load within the same structural framework

  • Report analytics in a consistent format

  • Maintain state and progress tracking

  • Present a unified interface to students


The system employs Format Adapters that handle the technical nuances of different content formats, providing standardized interfaces for navigation, state management, and data collection. These adapters ensure that legacy content can participate fully in modern learning experiences without requiring extensive modifications.


Experience Apps provide a consistent presentation layer that can accommodate various content types while maintaining a unified user experience. This approach allows publishers to leverage their existing content investments while delivering modern, cohesive learning experiences.


If you are facing challenges with managing content diversity, let’s talk.
