The Instructional Designer’s Starter Pack

A set of plug-and-play templates to help you plan, structure, and start building your online course like a pro. Whether you're a consultant, coach, or small business owner, this toolkit gives you the structure, clarity, and shortcuts you need to finally move forward.

What you’ll get:

You’ve got content

You’ve got ideas. But every time you sit down to plan your course, you’re stuck thinking: “Where do I even begin?” Sound familiar?

Let’s change that.

Analysis template

Analysis is the first stage of the ADDIE process and, arguably, the most important. It’s the blueprint for your entire project. The analysis template will guide you through the right questions to ask, no guesswork required.

Formalise your analysis into a report for sign off, your first milestone in a project.

High level design template

Outline your strategy for the course. Give your stakeholders a clear picture of how the course is structured, module by module, and show what kind of content and approach you’re suggesting for each one. This is your second milestone in a project.

Storyboard template

Create a detailed storyboard that allows your client to review and sign off the content and allow your developer to develop the course exactly as you and the client see it. The template includes seven of the most used elements ready for you to add more of your own ideas.

Why this works

1:1 with clients

This toolkit is built from over 20 years of instructional design experience; the exact tools I use when working 1:1 with clients (but without the 1:1 price tag).

You’ll walk away knowing:

Exactly how to structure your course
What to include (and what to skip)
How to move forward with clarity

What others say

As a complete novice to developing eLearning, Lisa helped me to completely understand the process from high level design through to development and gave me suggestions at key points that I wouldn’t have considered myself

Lisa has a brilliant way of making you feel at ease, by getting to know you, understanding the scope of the project and, most importantly, establishing where the resources/talent/expertise need to be focussed.
