How do I Work?
A Collaborative and Transparent Process, from Idea to Impact
At The Space of Agnes Elisa, I believe that great instructional Design begins with listening, continues with collaboration, and ends with meaningful results. Whether you're launching a new course, redesigning an existing training program, or developing a comprehensive learning strategy, my process ensures clarity, creativity, and alignment with your goals.
Here's how we'll work together, step by step:
Discovery & Needs Assessment
- We begin with a strategic conversation to understand your training challenges, target audience, goals, timeline, and organizational context. This includes: Identifying your training gaps and performance issues
- Clarifying the project scope, content availability, and key stakeholders
- Recommending the right learning format (self-paced, blended, microlearning, etc.)
Design Strategy & Storyboarding
Once we’re aligned, I create a customized learning strategy and begin mapping your course structure, activities, and flow. This phase includes:
- Writing learning objectives and assessment strategies
- Developing content outlines and visual learning maps
- Creating detailed storyboards and scripts for review and feedback
Development of the eLearning Course
Using authoring tools like Articulate Rise, Storyline, Vyond, or H5P, I transform the storyboard into an interactive, branded course. This phase includes:
- Creating visually engaging, accessible eLearning content
- Integrating quizzes, simulations, videos, and scenario-based activities
- Ensuring SCORM compliance and mobile responsiveness
Review, Feedback & Revisions
You and your team review the course and provide feedback. I revise and fine-tune all components to ensure alignment with your brand, tone, and learner expectations.
Deliverable: Finalized course, fully tested and ready to launch
Implementation & Evaluation
I assist with LMS integration (if needed) and provide recommendations for measuring learner success and long-term impact. This includes:
- Launch support and troubleshooting
- Development of learning impact surveys or knowledge checks
- Post-course performance evaluation strategies
A Collaborative and Transparent Process, from Idea to Impact
If you need to maintain or update the course, localize it for other languages, or scale your training program across teams, I'm available for continuous support
