Is your team tired of the same old learning and development workshops and lectures?
Learning experience design is an exciting opportunity to enhance online learning and digital training opportunities. You know that just like marketing and communications, learning and development are must-have experiences for everyone in the nonprofit sector. However, when there are staffing shortages, competing priorities and shrinking budgets in both the sector and your org, that’s hard to do. It’s especially hard when:
- The rapid pace of technology is scary and overwhelming to learn
- Traditional trainings are not culturally responsive or inclusive
- There’s zero alignment between personal and professional goals
- Conferences, workshops and experts are becoming too expensive
- Large parts of your team are retiring (and you need upskilling solutions, fast)
- You don’t have the internal capacity for learning and development
You need a service that allows you to modernize professional development for your team. My learning experience design service is the easiest way to build your team’s capacity for the growing digital present and future of the nonprofit sector.

What’s in digital learning experience design?
Learning experience design is an approach to creating digital learning experiences and training that is user-focused, engaging and accessible for the nonprofit sector. It uses instructional design (ID) , user experience (UX) design and customer psychology theories, frameworks and principles to ensure that learners achieve the desired learning outcome. It’s like School of Rock, but for your nonprofit organization. Nothing wrong with wanting to be less bored when you’re learning.
Effective digital learning experiences includes:
- Relevance to your personal and professional lives
- Multiple opportunities for feedback
- Accessibility and consideration of diverse learning needs
- Engaging, fun and interactive
- Clear learning outcomes
- Culturally responsive and inclusive learning content
- Clear picture of learning progress
- Freedom to choose learning content focus
- Multiple opportunities for reflection
- Functional and usable digital technology aspects
- Memorable and useful learning content
- Clear messaging and communication

Testimonial
“Working with Jean was a dream. At the time, I was quite busy and couldn’t be as present in the process as I had hoped. But from our very first conversation, I knew I could trust Jean completely to bring my vision to life and handle the [eLearning land acknowledgement] project seamlessly from start to finish.
Jean is warm, professional, creative and dependable — the exact kind of person you want to work with. She brought smart, thoughtful ideas to the table on a complex issue and executed everything with such care and precision. If I ever have the change to work with her again, I wouldn’t hesitate for a moment.”
