### What is Learning Design?
Simply put, learning design is the intentional planning of the learner’s journey on their way to understanding, retaining, and applying a concept. Learning design can be used in every educational setting, including traditional education, on-the-job training, and skill instruction.
Our goal is to collaborate with you to deliver excellent outcomes for your learners by applying creative thinking and selecting the right tools for the job.

### Every learning design project starts with four simple questions:
- 
What does your audience need to learn and obtain?
- 
How will success be defined and measured?
- 
What medium will best meet the learner’s needs?
- 
What activities will add value to the learning outcome?
Step 1: Planning
NextThought begins every design-learning project with a workshop that includes all participants. We collectively create a blueprint for your project using a shared visual mapping tool. This makes it easy for our team to collaborate with you as we bring your learning experience to life.
Step 2: Content Audit
Already developed content? The NextThought team will evaluate your existing course or training material to make it more engaging and effective across platforms—digitally, instructor-led, or hybrid.
Optimize Existing Content
Sometimes existing course content simply needs an outside perspective to make it more effective. We’ll optimize your curricula for maximum learner engagement. We can restructure your lessons, rewrite your current content, create new content, suggest activities based on learning science, and more.
Step 3: Development
With your purpose and desired outcomes in mind, we design a learning experience that is custom fit for your learners
Flexible Partnership
If your training and educational material needs an all-new approach, we can do everything from course design, content development, script writing, video, animation, and interactives, subject-matter expertise selection, and more. Our involvement depends on the expertise you need. We can do it all, or plug in where you need it most.
Step 4: Proven Project Management
We’re proud of our Customer Success Team who provides exceptional service by providing frequent updates, collaboration, and transparency into your project. It’s our goal to make your project smooth, enjoyable, and successful.
Step 5: Launch and Test
Hosting your content on an LMS? We’ll package up and provide xAPI or SCORM files, so you can measure and track your new program’s effectiveness. If you need support with content onboarding and creating assets within your LMS, we can provide that as well.
### Working with In-house Instructional Design teams
