COURSE QUALITY STANDARDS We use the following guiding principles when considering publishers to the OpenSesame marketplace: ● Reputable: The publisher must be a reputable training provider where a significant portion of their revenue comes from producing high-quality, standards-based, interactive elearning courses. ● Innovative: The courses must add value and constantly move the elearning industry forward. We are looking for publishers who create groundbreaking and innovative training that, when taken, helps to improve learners' lives. ● Flexible: One size doesn't fit all, and all customers are not the same; therefore our publishers must be flexible and willing to go above and beyond to meet our customers' needs. ● Diverse and inclusive: OpenSesame seeks publishers whose content reflects the diversity of the communities we serve and the world we live in. A variety of perspectives, imagery, and voices strengthen our ability to deliver the spark of learning to everyone. Therefore, we encourage publishers to include a diversity of presenters and use inclusive language in courses. ● Global: OpenSesame serves businesses all over the world. As a result, the content must have a global appeal, including look and feel, and be available in multiple languages upon request. ● Unparalleled support: The publisher's support must be exceptional. OpenSesame will only work with courseware providers who agree to our strict service level agreements (SLAs) to ensure our customers get the best possible support. To ensure only quality content is delivered through the OpenSesame catalog, publishers are required to meet our minimum quality standards as outlined below. All courses must be industry compliant. See the technical details below for more information.

The courses are applicable to a business audience. 2 Title The course title clearly and accurately reflects the training material covered in the course. Use keywords and avoid using acronyms and abbreviations when possible. If a course is part of a series, the course title should follow the format "Series Name: Number in Series: Course Name". For example: "Project Management: 01. Developing and Controlling the Project Schedule". 3 Description The course description is interesting and informative. Include proper keywords for search engine optimization, as this is a searchable field. The course description must follow the OpenSesame course descriptions and learning objectives style guide. 4 Learning objectives Learning objectives clearly describe what learners can expect by completing the course. Objectives describe the intended result of the course rather than the process of instruction. Objectives are measurable and the course delivers on the learning objectives as stated. Learning objectives must follow the OpenSesame course descriptions and learning objectives style guide. 5 Subjects Before a course will be approved for sale on OpenSesame, the publisher must choose one to three subjects from OpenSesame's list that are appropriate for the course. The primary subject selected indicates the overall topic being taught in the course. www.opensesame.com | (503) 808-1268
