Our process

Learning design

Understanding the learning product and target audience

We get to understand the project subject and desired outcomes and gather all the necessary target audience data for e-learning design and development.

Developing learning objectives and metrics for success

We meticulously identify and set the final learning objectives, ensuring they are clear and measurable and established in concrete, verifiable terms for comprehensive assessment of the potential ROI of e-learning programs.

Building course outline

Our e-learning instructional design specialists define guided/non-guided learning hours and minimum commitment time for learners, determining the variations of the product model, adding soft skill components, etc. We then design a course outline which includes learning outcome(s), a brief overview of lesson(s), criteria for student success, AfL strategy, —part of our full-cycle learning design services.

Engaging with SME

Course outline undergoes review by SMEs for detailed feedback and further enhancements. We work with clients’ SMEs or with our own. Our instructional design consulting firm boasts a broad network of SMEs, encompassing university departments, professors, industry leaders in computer science, etc.

Instructional Design

Building individual lesson plans and authoring

Our instructional design agency develops a detailed lesson plan for every course overview. We incorporate a hook activity for learner engagement, a starter task for assessing prior knowledge, and other various learning activities.

Second stage review of LPs and scripts with SMEs

SMEs review lesson plans and scripts, providing feedback to enhance interactive e-learning content and related activities as necessary.

Preparation for production

We outline detailed descriptions of all course assets that need to be created and establish a production timeline, collaborating with instructional design experts and production resources (videographers, graphic designers, copywriters, etc.)

Testing

Prototype testing

We publish an instructional design project in-house for feedback, conducting a student-oriented soft launch if time is a constraint. Subsequently, we monitor student engagement metrics, gathering insights for iterative improvements.

Continuous improvement

Through iterative improvements, we ensure our instructional designing services remain aligned with evolving learning needs—both throughout the year and annually.

Using AI in e-learning design to become less dependent on SMEs

The use of Leveraging Large Language Models (LLMs) in learning design services significantly accelerates content creation, reducing the need for initial human authoring. This technology enables rapid e-learning development while ensuring high-quality output.
