Instructional design is the process of creating learning experiences and materials in a manner that facilitates the acquisition of knowledge and skills in an effective and efficient manner. It involves analysing learning needs, designing instructional content, developing learning materials, and evaluating their effectiveness.

Reduced time to market

Outsourcing instructional design services can help companies bring their training programs to market more quickly. With a dedicated team of professionals working on the project, companies can reduce the time it takes to develop and deploy new learning materials.

Why choose Learning Elements for outsourcing instructional design services?

At Learning Elements, we have a team of highly skilled instructional designers with extensive experience in creating engaging and effective learning materials. We employ industry-leading methodologies to ensure that our training solutions meet the specific needs of learners. Our approach uses the ADDIE model, a renowned instructional design framework that guides our process from analysis to evaluation, ensuring comprehensive and tailored learning experiences.

ADDIE Model

The ADDIE model serves as our guiding framework throughout the instructional design process, ensuring every project is meticulously planned and executed. This structured approach guarantees that your training programs are not only engaging but also aligned with your organisational objectives. The ADDIE model is a systematic approach to instructional design that consists of five phases: Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation. Each phase is carefully orchestrated to optimise learning outcomes and drive continuous improvement.

• Analysis: This phase involves gathering information about the learning needs, objectives, and constraints of the project. We conduct thorough analyses to understand the target audience and their learning requirements.
• Design: In the design phase, we develop a detailed plan for the learning solution, including learning objectives, content structure, instructional strategies, and assessment methods. This phase lays the foundation for the development of the training materials.
• Development: During the development phase, we create the actual learning materials based on the design specifications. This may include developing modules, activities, assessments, and multimedia elements to support learning.
• Implementation: The implementation phase involves delivering the training solution to the learners. We ensure that the materials are effectively deployed and that learners have access to the necessary resources and support.
• Evaluation: The evaluation phase assesses the effectiveness of the training solution in achieving its objectives. We collect feedback from learners and stakeholders and use this information to make improvements for future iterations.
