View the updated, in-depth guide to becoming an instructional designer here:    • How to Become an Instructional Designer in...   In this video, we’ll dive into the full eLearning design and development process that I’ve used to secure high-value client projects. And I’ve helped people in the bootcamp use this process to land some of the most competitive instructional design opportunities. Much of the eLearning that you may have seen is designed more like an information-dump than an engaging, story-driven experience. This process will help you design immersive learning experiences that capture people’s attention and help them perform better on-the-job. In addition to helping your audience, you can use this process to create a portfolio project that will help you stand out in the market. The step-by-step eLearning design process is: 1. Identify the Need: Determine if there is an opportunity for improvement 2. Create an Action Map: Map out the actions you want people to practice. 3. Write the Storyboard: Create the text-based blueprint for your eLearning experience. 4. Design Visual Mockups: Design the visual layout for your eLearning experience. 5. Develop a prototype: Develop a prototype for your project. 6. Develop the Final Product: Complete the final product. I’ll also discuss how you can add moments of delight and help enhance transfer for your audience. Throughout the video, we’ll explore portfolio projects where people have used this eLearning design process effectively.
