E-learning and training design.
Online courses and training that people actually finish, and use afterwards. Built from how people learn, written in plain English, and accessible from the first line.
Whole programmes, single modules, and the interactive parts most designers have to outsource.
Full online courses and modules, interactive learning tools, microlearning, blended training materials, and the assessment and reflective activities that go with them. Delivered inside your platform, or built as standalone interactive pieces that drop into it.
We can take a single module or a whole programme, and we build the interactive parts ourselves rather than briefing them out to a separate developer and waiting.
Anyone whose learners have to get through it on their own.
Universities, colleges, apprenticeship providers, professional bodies, and workplace learning teams who need online learning that holds up without a tutor in the room. Distance and independent learners especially.
Evidence-based design, in plain terms rather than for show.
Every build starts from two questions: how do people actually learn this, and what will make them use it. Everything else follows from those.
Built for real attention and memory
Working memory is small, so we cut anything that makes people think about the wrong thing and save their effort for what matters. (Cognitive load.)
Support that fades
Learners get worked examples and guidance early, then it is gradually removed, so they finish able to do it on their own rather than leaning on the material. (Scaffolding.)
Aimed at behaviour, not just knowledge
When learning is meant to change what someone does, we build for the three things that make that happen: they can do it, they have the chance to, and they have a reason to. Small wins, no streaks, no shame. (COM-B and habit formation.)
Designed so you can tell if it worked
Not just whether people enjoyed it, but whether they learned it, used it, and whether it changed the result. We build the evaluation in from the start. (Kirkpatrick.)
Plain English, accessible by default
We design for the edges first, for neurodivergent learners and people the standard mould leaves out, which makes it clearer for everyone. Accessibility is in from the first line, not bolted on at the end.
Platform-agnostic, so the quality travels with the work.
Articulate Rise and Storyline, Moodle, and custom interactive tools built as single-file HTML that embed straight into your VLE. Narration and audio where it earns its place. The underlying design craft does not depend on the platform, so we pick up a new LMS quickly and the standard holds.
Leeds Trinity University, the Personal Development suite.
The problem. Leeds Trinity needed a personal development programme for apprentices, covering the skills that get someone through work and life but rarely get taught directly: financial confidence, confidence and resilience, professional communication, reflective practice, and goal setting and PDPs. It had to work online, for learners going through it in their own time rather than in a taught session.
What we did. We designed the suite as a set of branded, interactive modules and guides, one per topic, each paired with a custom tool the learner could actually use rather than just read about. A Financial Confidence Tracker with a live budget, spending and payslip breakdown. A Reflection Journal built around the Gibbs cycle. A Confidence and Resilience check-in with a daily log. Each tool was built as a single self-contained piece, accessible by default, written in plain English, and scaffolded so learners built confidence on a topic and then applied it on their own.
The outcome. The suite was built to do more than get apprentices through a course. It gave them the confidence to keep developing after the formal training ended, and a set of practical skills they could genuinely use at work and in life. That kind of extra support is what sets an apprentice apart from one who never had it.
