Blueprints for real-world careers — not just report cards.

Digital Learning Builds Skills. Design Builds The Experience.

PATHWAYS INTO INSTRUCTIONAL & DIGITAL LEARNING DESIGN — BEFORE YOU COMMIT TO A PROGRAM.

“I like designing slides and working online” isn’t enough to build a real career in digital learning and instructional design. Our coaching helps students test whether this path fits their creativity, systems thinking, and tech comfort before they commit: learning theory, authoring tools, portfolios, and what day-to-day work as a digital learning designer actually feels like.

3–5 yrs faster to a focused portfolio.
more likely to finish programs they’re aligned with.
$$$ saved from the wrong bootcamps and courses.

Our coaching packages become the blueprint students never get from generic career tests.

Why Digital Learning Design Coaching is Important

Digital learning design is a fast-growing field that many students only discover by accident. These modules help them understand the skills, portfolio, and industry realities before they commit to a program or bootcamp.

💻

Digital Learning Design — Overview

Many students confuse digital learning design with “making pretty slides.” This module explains the real role of an instructional / learning designer: solving problems with content, structuring learning, and collaborating with subject-matter experts.

  • Clarifies differences between ID, eLearning, UX, and teaching.
  • Shows common job titles and entry paths into the field.
🎨

Real-World Project Exposure

Sample projects and mini-briefs let students try storyboards, interactive modules, and microlearning, turning vague interest in “online learning” into concrete, testable skills.

🌐

Lifestyle & Work-Style Fit

Digital learning design often means remote work, deadlines, feedback loops, and collaboration across time zones. We explore work patterns, focus requirements, and collaboration styles so students know if this workday actually fits them.

📚

Programs, Bootcamps & Tools

We map out degrees, certificates, and self-taught routes, plus key tools like learning management systems and authoring software, so families can choose a path that matches budget and goals.

  • Compare traditional programs vs. bootcamps vs. self-directed paths.
  • Clarify which tools matter early, and what can wait.
📂

Portfolio & Burnout Prevention

Many new designers stall out because they lack a clear portfolio or overcommit to unpaid work. Coaching focuses on smart project selection, scope control, and realistic timelines so growth is sustainable.

📋

Case Study — Course Sprint Day

A sprint-style day where students take a real topic and build a mini learning experience — outcome, storyboard, sample screens, and reflection. It’s the fastest way to test whether they enjoy the full design process from problem to learner-ready solution.
