Instructional Design Expertise to Elevate Online Learning from Concept to Completion

Edge’s seasoned team will help design, develop, and manage your online course offerings at any stage in the process, from the start-to-finish design of brand new curriculum to cost-effective “instructional design on demand” services including:

Identify, design, develop and test appropriate, dynamic instructional interactions, simulations, scripts, graphics, video clips, job aids, and assessments to increase knowledge transfer and retention.

Create, lead, and execute project plans that will meet established development priorities and deadlines, including the project goal and scope, needs analysis results, and desired outcomes, in the narrative, with the resources required, deliverables, and timelines included in the work plan.

Create an instructional design outline or storyboard, which is a blueprint of the design, to enable the SMEs, customers, and design/development team to come to an initial agreement on the design, content, activities, sequencing, evaluation criteria and element timing for a new product.

Work with the learning technology manager and team to establish functional and delivery requirements, LMS set-up, testing scenarios, and pilot groups and participate in end user testing. Incorporate feedback to improve and update content, design and materials for new and legacy courses, adjusting for best practices, new learning styles, models, and delivery tools.

Work directly with course developers, subject matter experts, reviewers, end users and other members of the project team to scope new projects, learn the needs and characteristics of the target audience, work environment, and learning preferences, define and prioritize instructional goals and objectives, to improve the instructional design of existing content and identify the gaps for new content, to determine audience-appropriate functional requirements.
