We love answering questions about instructional design!

Instructional design… sounds fancy.  What is it, exactly?

Forget those “click-next” courses that feel like punishment.  Instructional design is the art and science of crafting eLearning experiences that are engaging, effective, and dare we say, enjoyable.  It’s about making learning stick.

What’s the difference between instructional design and just creating training content?

Great question! Instructional design is the strategic science behind effective learning. We don’t just organize content—we apply proven learning principles to ensure knowledge sticks and drives behavior change.

How do you ensure training actually improves performance?

We start with clear learning objectives tied to business outcomes, use evidence-based design principles, and build in assessment strategies that measure real skill development, not just completion.
