Designing eLearning isn’t just about knowing how to use an authoring tool – it’s about knowing what to build, why you’re building it, and how to make it meaningful.
Our eLearning Design Essentials Workshop is the go-to training for anyone who wants to create online learning that delivers real impact. Whether you’re new to the field or need a structured framework to improve how you design, this workshop gives you the confidence, tools, and strategies to turn raw content into engaging, learner-focused eLearning.
Delivered live and online over one practical, interactive day, the session is filled with real examples, collaborative tasks, and downloadable resources. You’ll walk away knowing how to plan, design, storyboard and evaluate your projects—without guesswork.
We’ll take you step-by-step through how to:
-
Identify what makes eLearning effective (and what doesn’t)
-
Work collaboratively with SMEs and stakeholders
-
Convert long-form content into interactive online learning
-
Build better learning objectives, visual designs and assessment strategies
-
Apply instructional design models that actually work in real projects
It’s everything you need to move from content delivery to truly effective learning design—purposeful, practical, and performance-focused.
