Instructional Design

What would you do if time and budget were unlimited?

Instructional Design is a collaborative process where I will work with you and your Subject Matter Experts to create the best e-learning possible. Many people limit their options right at the start; "We've only got this budget", "It has to be ready by the end of next month", "We have to use this development tool"...

That's OK, but start at the top and see what's possible within your constraints.

To begin we will need to scope your project and produce a document that details everything about the e-learning

  • Why now? What is the background and context to your enquiry? What business goals(s) will your e-learning achieve?

  • Who is it for? Who is your target audience? How much time do they have to spend on e-learning? How do they like to learn?

  • What are your constraints? What is your budget for the project? When does your project need to be finished?

  • How do you want it to look and feel? Do you already have brand guidelines? What language and tone do you want to use? Will your e-learning need to be translated into other languages?

  • Will you include any media? Do you want to include voiceover? Do you want to include video? Do you want to include animation? Do you want to include downloadable resources?

  • Where will you host it? Do you already have a Learning Management System (LMS)? Do you want to host your e-learning from your website?

From this information we can begin to develop a storyboard, in the format of your choice, to show exactly how the learning will work. It doesn't have to be right first time but changes are easier to make at this point.

Get the storyboard right and the development is a much smoother process!
