Learning Projects

In today’s complex and rapidly changing business environment, training and development activities are a key driver of enterprise agility. People need to learn new skills and unlearn old ones, incorporate new ideas, and bring an unprecedented level of creativity to every new and refreshed endeavour.

Unfortunately, well-designed learning programs are rare. Many out-of-the-box courses are, frankly, too long. Others are overwhelming. Others are insultingly simplistic. Few have an assessment that is a strong predictor of success, and very seldom can leaders track tangible business results.

Instructional Design brings together three factors: the people doing the learning, the objectives the business has for the learning, and the tools and resources available to mediate the learning. Expertise in the field aligns any audience and any training objectives with any budget, timeline, and resource capability by proposing the right learning activities and evaluations within the constraints.

Teach | Train | Develop experts have been designing courses for over a decade in high-tech and no-tech, business and academic, and public and private environments. No matter the training and development challenge, we can provide you with the right solution for effective learning and business results.

Hire TTD for Instructional Design and Build

We assist with analysis, design, project management and development, change management and implementation, assessment and evaluation, and validation of instruction, and we engage for entire projects or portions of projects. We also design long-term course management plans for after your course is up and running.

We use a value-based pricing (VBP) model, and because every instructional project is different, we don’t publish a definitive price list. For the purposes of high-level estimating, we can tell you that:

a validation of a 10 question multiple choice test with recommendations might run about $50 CAD;
a learning needs assessment for one key learning outcome when demographic information about the audience is well known and the learning outcome is established might run about $200 CAD;
a 2 hour face-to-face seminar design with activities and a method of tracking return on investment might run about $1000 CAD;
a 15 minute* interactive online module design and development only might run about $2000 CAD;
an operational framework for monitoring the business results of a 12 course training program in an organization of 1000 people, including recommendations for redesign and optimization, might run about $10,000 CAD;
a 100 hour blended online/instructor-led course might run about $20,000.

*Note that, as a rule of thumb, the shorter you want online training to be without losing any content, the more effort to develop it. Many people can develop a 1 hour module for far less money that has the same learning outcomes.
