INSTRUCTIONAL DESIGN
From the initial client briefing and creation of a Learning Outline, to working with subject matter experts, and storyboarding; I have experience in all stages of the e-learning design and production process. I can storyboard by hand, in Microsoft Word, Macromedia Flash, or your authoring tool of choice, to integrate fully with your workflow and production team. My creativity allows me to strike the balance between interactivity and production cost that is right for you.

INSTRUCTIONAL DESIGN TRAINING
Need help with instructional design (ID)? Don’t worry, you’re not alone! To get you started check out the Best Practice Bites on the thought bubbles page. If you need more help I provide the following services:
• For complete beginners - a one-day
  Instructional Design Best Practice Workshop
  to get you up and running.
• For novices and intermediate IDs - one-to-
  one or small group consultancy, to help you
  further develop your skills.
I am also pioneering online Instructional Design Surgeries, where I can help with specific ID issues.

E-LEARNING CONSULTANCY
STOP THE PRESS: low-cost (or even free) technologies now exist for producing e-learning material. The trick is finding the right technologies, and knowing how and when to use them. I help organisations create their own e-learning content by selecting and implementing the right tools for the job.



BESPOKE E-LEARNING CONTENT
Using a network of trusted experts, I provide bespoke content development services. I don’t have an office or permanent employees, so you don’t pay a premium to cover my overheads. Over the years I have led many different types of e-learning project for many large organisations. So whether it's rapid e-learning, IT system training, or bespoke content you need - I can help.

RAPID E-LEARNING
It may be the latest buzzword, but it also has enormous potential to transform e-learning for the better. There are major pitfalls however, not least of which the risk of bombarding your learners with poorly conceived e-learning content.
I can get you up and running with rapid e-learning by:
   • providing instructional design training
     and / or support to your e-learning
     authors;
   • helping you get the development process
     right first time;
   • helping you build robust quality
     assurance (QA) processes;

   • designing and creating bespoke rich media
     and interactivity for your courses.

BLENDED LEARNING
I am a firm advocate of blended learning – after all, this is how we have traditionally learnt; from a variety of sources. To successfully implement new knowledge, learning should extend beyond the computer (or training room) and into the workplace. In every project I undertake, I aim to make the programme greater than the sum of its elements.

PROJECT MANAGEMENT
I have managed creative teams on many large projects with major clients, including Visa CEMEA and Jobcentre Plus. My experience includes client liaison to board level, project planning and tracking, design and management of QA processes, sourcing talent (designers, developers, vocal talent etc.) and managing virtual teams.
