Learning Design Capabilities

Learning Design / Design Thinking

At LearningMate, we lean heavily on universal design and design thinking principles when developing learning experiences. Our process is human-centered and iterative, with a focus on empathizing with learners, defining needs, ideating, prototyping, and testing.

Learning Design Ideation

Every education solution at LearningMate starts with creative collaboration. We work together to generate diverse ideas that foster innovation, collaboration, and learner-centric approaches. Next, we focus on and refine these ideas, defining goals and KPIs before advancing to proof-of-concept.

Proof of Concepts in Learning Design

We develop "Proof of Concepts" to validate the effectiveness of our content and technology solutions well before full implementation. This minimizes your risks, ensures alignment with learning goals, and guides refinement based on practical testing and user feedback.

Assessment Design

Our approach integrates custom, curriculum-aligned assessments with technology-enhanced and adaptive items managed through an efficient item bank. We focus on data analytics to draw out insights into learner performance, covering both formative and summative assessments as well as accessibility and inclusivity, ensuring every assessment caters to diverse learners.

Learning Media Development

We create engaging media elements, including animations, interactive presentations, and e-learning courses. From interactive learning resources and mobile apps to immersive VR and AR experiences, our team builds it all.

Insights

From industry research to thought-provoking articles and podcasts, we bring you insights into our fast-evolving world of education technology. Come learn and evolve with us.
