Steps to developing successful eLearning courses:

1. Define the scope of the eLearning course

Considering that this may be the first time that you have developed an eLearning course, combined with the fact that you will be working with a new vendor my recommendation would be that you limit the scope of the project. 

Keep it simple and allow for expansion once the first version of the course is deployed. Generally, the second version of the course will require additional functionality based on the end user's input and feedback. 

2. Define business case/need for the elearning course

Once again make sure that this is done right upfront. Having a clear and defined business case/need for the project will be important during all phases of the project. 

Having a document that you can reference will be invaluable to you. You can also use the ideas that you developed for the business case in your deployment letter to reinforce the value of the course to the target audience.
