iDesign helps our partners build, grow, and support online and blended learner experiences. We bring together deep instructional design expertise, proprietary AI-Assisted program planning and development, and impeccable service to deliver certainty—the certainty that our design teams will flex to meet the diverse expectations of faculty and subject matter experts while integrating research-based, technology-enhanced design practices. And the certainty that the learner experiences we create will not only fulfill the project's vision but also optimize engagement, efficiency, and scalability within the specified budget and timeline.
Successful and sustainable programs require community buy-in and thoughtful planning. When faced with divergent attitudes toward digital instruction and an ever-changing edtech landscape, that can feel like a tall order. iDesign deftly guides our partners through a collaborative process, leveraging AI-enhanced insights and industry expertise to refine and flesh out their initial vision in a comprehensive program charter—building internal stakeholder support along the way.
Program reviews and curriculum mapping can be tedious, but they can also unlock valuable insights and facilitate accreditation reporting. Using Align, our AI-assisted curriculum mapping tool, iDesign enhances the process by efficiently mapping each content, activity, or assessment item to relevant outcomes and standards. Robust, granular data ensures we can explore breadth and depth of coverage, student activity profiles, and time-on-task. Visual representations enable stakeholders to interpret data and apply inferences, while seamless reporting simplifies accreditation review.
Our instructional designers partner directly with your faculty and subject matter experts, walking them through the full design process and directing a team that develops content within your learning technology ecosystem. Along the way, we integrate AI-enhanced processes, workflows & quality assurance checks to enhance design efficiency while sharing research-based best practices and proactive recommendations—ensuring that faculty feel informed, comfortable, and in control. Great instructional designers build trust by serving, educating, and challenging partners to adopt a student-centered perspective. We are tremendously proud of our designers and the transformative learner experiences we create.
While iDesign-created courses are meticulously designed, we believe in continuous improvement. Each live offering of a course presents an opportunity to iterate and refine. iDesign embraces a data-driven, AI-assisted approach to continuous improvement, compiling and analyzing course-level data with learner outcomes in mind. Our instructional designers then use proprietary AI led insights to recommend enhancements that optimize engagement and effectiveness—these improvements are reviewed with faculty and administration before implementation, ensuring every iteration leads to a better student experience.
Course content will be evaluated with learner outcomes top of mind. Our course quality dashboard puts real-time data at your fingertips. Throughout the continuous improvement process, iDesign’s learning architects make suggestions to improve the student experience, which are reviewed with faculty and administration.
High-fidelity video is a signal of quality, an effective instructional medium, and a great way to build instructor presence. Video production can also be expensive and time-consuming. By carefully integrating video production in our program planning and instructional design processes, iDesign delivers cost-effective and high-impact original video content.
Producing quality videos helps students retain new information. Our videographers work with subject matter experts to edit and deliver video content. From short snippets to in-depth tutorials, you gain a new understanding of where video fits in your course. Instructors also can track video engagement in learning management systems.
From newly minted professionals to mid-level and senior-level practitioners, there is a Learning Experience (LX) pathway to support your career goals and interests. Online instructors can sign up for our free Fundamentals of Online Teaching and receive a Completion Certificate.
For the additional pathways, instructional technologists and learning architects have two options. They can choose the self-paced, competency-based program, which results in stackable credentials (if they are newer to the field). Those with some experience can circumvent this step and dive into the portfolio experience to work directly with an experienced mentor.
