Instructional Design

The thinking that makes
training work.

Good training does not happen by accident. Before anything gets built, someone has to work out what people need to learn, in what order, and how you will know it worked. That is instructional design, and it is what we do best.

The design behind learning that lands.

Instructional design is the craft of turning a pile of content and a business problem into a clear, structured learning experience. It is the difference between information that is simply available and learning that people can follow, remember and use. We can design the whole thing for you and build it, or hand you a blueprint your own team can run with. We are a Brisbane-based studio working with teams across Australia.

From tangled content to a clear plan.

Needs analysis

We find the real gap before anyone writes a word, so you build the right thing.

Learning strategy

The approach, format and sequence that fit your people and your goal.

Storyboarding

A clear blueprint of every screen and activity before development begins.

Assessment design

Questions and activities that test real understanding, beyond simple recall.

Learning maps

The architecture of a whole program, mapped from start to finish.

Evaluation

A plan to measure what changed, so you can prove the value.

We do the heavy lifting with your experts.

Your subject-matter experts know the content inside out, but they are busy and they are not learning designers. Our job is to draw what is in their heads out efficiently and turn it into something learners can follow, without taking over their week.

Design it once, then take it anywhere.

Instructional design is the foundation, and where it goes next is up to you. We can build it into a finished course, or hand you the blueprint and assets for your own team to deliver. Either way, the thinking is sound from the start.

The things people usually ask.

Instructional design is the planning and structure behind the learning. eLearning is one way to deliver it. We do both, and the design always comes first.
Yes. Most projects start with content you already have. We shape it into a clear learning experience and fill the gaps where needed.
Depending on the project, that can include a needs analysis, a learning strategy, storyboards, learning maps, assessments and an evaluation plan, all ready to build from.
Absolutely. We can hand over a complete blueprint and the supporting assets so your team can run the program themselves.
No. We design for whatever suits your people, whether that is eLearning, face-to-face, virtual or a blend.
