Whether you are in the business of providing information or your business needs to provide information to its internal or external customers. The challenge of how to present that information can be daunting. Educational Design is uses design principles to create information that is visually beautiful and well as easiest to digest for your user.
Educational Design not only considers the visual elements or technical feasibility of your learning platform. But also takes into account how your users learn.
Most people take in information from 4 main learning styles; visual, auditory, kinesthetic, and reading/writing. However there are others to consider like logical/analytical learners, social/linguistic learners, solitary learners and environmental learners just to name a few.
When designing educational material, we take into consideration all the ways that people learn and what ways we can add technology and interactivity into the design.
Educational Design is no different from any other User Experience project in that it always starts with research.
We conduct in-depth research on the information you are teaching and the unique needs of the learners as they go through your content. Once we have a solid foundation on your topic we will interview or survey current users or your target market about their ideal learning styles. This data is used to inspire ideas for the best learning platforms for your content. This can be in-person trainings, interactive ebooks, apps, videos, interactive activities and so much more.
The design process moves in stages. We start by creating prototypes of any idea and ideally user test those ideas with users to see what ideas work and what doesn't. These low-fidelity representations allow quick iteration of the designs and learning flow.
After gathering research we move to high-fidelity designs where we implement color, User Interface elements, full body copy and interactive elements. When videos or in-person content is needed we help to facilitate brand cohesion across all learning platforms and can be in-person to help guide any aspect of the learning process.
Educational Design and Interactive Learning helps to target different learning styles as well as create excitement for your users, which offers more engagement in your brand.
