In a quest to provide equitable and accessible high-quality professional learning through course development, our approach streamlined collaboration and ensured quality through a well-defined 3-step process.

  1. Set-Up Systems & Process:

    We began by establishing a collaborative workspace, providing access to guidelines, planning frames, branded materials, and the course platform. We conducted a walkthrough of the platform and facilitated connections with other course developers if desired. Our team offered thought partnership on content planning and provided access to exemplary course materials. We mapped out a detailed timeline, set clear goals, and established milestone markers to guide the process.

  2. Development Starting

    Using organization-branded materials, we began content development, storing it in the collaborative space or uploading it directly to the platform. We supported the upskilling of developers and held feedback sessions after the first module to refine the content. Regular check-ins at agreed milestones ensured a supportive accountability structure, enabling timely feedback and adjustments.

  3. Go to Market

    The final phase involved rigorous review and fine-tuning of the entire course content. We tested the user experience, made necessary adjustments, and followed a go-to-market checklist for a successful launch. Throughout, we provided ongoing coaching and mentoring, focusing on effective questioning, online learning design principles, assessments, and the strategic use of tech features.


This process not only optimized course development but also ensured continuous professional learning impact, reflecting our commitment to quality and innovation in international education.
