Why Do You Need This?

 

Adult learners need active, relevant, and accessible experiences, not static slideshows or generic content.

 

We help you design programs that:

  • Align with real-world skills and career pathways.
  • Deliver interactive, learner-centered instruction.
  • Ensure accessibility and inclusivity by design.

 

Whether you’re revamping legacy courses or building new credentials from scratch, our instructional designers help you get it right the first time.

What We Offer

We bring deep instructional design expertise, grounded in learning science and built for real-world results in continuing education, certification, and
workforce-aligned programs.

Translate SME knowledge into clear, modular learning flows that support skill development.

  • Map learning objectives to CEU and credentialing & certification standards.
  • Structure course sequences for engagement and clarity.
  • Collaborate with SMEs to build outcome-driven content.

Develop branching cases and narratives to improve decision-making and critical thinking.

  • Create real-world scenarios with embedded reflection points.
  • Design branching logic based on learner choices.
  • Adapt scenarios for clinical, technical, or soft-skill contexts.

Build interactive, high-fidelity simulations that support hands-on learning and mastery.

  • Design virtual environments and task-based activities.
  • Integrate role-play, diagnostics, or technical workflows.
  • Align with certification or skill validation needs.

Design meaningful evaluations that reinforce learning and meet CE requirements.

  • Develop quizzes, performance tasks, and reflections.
  • Build rubrics and performance-based evaluation methods.
  • Align assessments with CEU, licensing, or credentialing standards.

Why Magic EdTech?

We understand education inside and out and deliver solutions built to evolve with your programs

Learner‑centered, modular flows align objectives to career pathways and keep accessibility and inclusivity built in.

Branching scenarios and high‑fidelity simulations build decision‑making and hands‑on mastery across real‑world contexts.

Performance tasks and quizzes are mapped to CEU, licensing, and credential standards with clear rubrics.

Collaborative workflows translate expert knowledge into outcome‑driven content and structured, modular course sequences.

FAQs

We bake maintenance into the design. Each course ships with a traceability matrix that links objectives to CEU/licensure standards and job tasks, plus metadata on every asset so updates are surgical, not wholesale. We schedule periodic reviews with SMEs, watch regulatory bulletins, and monitor item‑level analytics to spot content that’s underperforming or out of date. Updates are handled in short sprints with version control, fresh accessibility checks, and clear change logs for faculty. Where credentials are affected, we refresh rubrics and badge metadata so learners’ records stay accurate without disrupting delivery.

After a short discovery and content audit, you get a prioritized roadmap showing scope, sequence, and milestones. We prototype a representative unit to agree on tone, interactivity, and accessibility standards, then scale production in sprints. SMEs review asynchronously on a set cadence, while our team handles build, QA, and LMS packaging—so the first course ships quickly and the rest follow a repeatable playbook.

We match modality to learning risk and assessment needs. Decision-making and judgment skills benefit from branched scenarios; procedural skills often need guided practice or lightweight simulations; knowledge consolidation may be best served by targeted retrieval and reflection. We propose “good/better/best” options for each outcome, estimate cost/impact, and select the minimum-effective design that meets your goals and platform constraints.

Yes—SMEs stay in their zone of expertise. We capture knowledge via structured interviews and templates, convert it into clear learning flows and assessments, and return concise drafts for review. Comment rounds are time‑boxed, changes are tracked, and we provide exemplar samples so feedback is fast and consistent. This keeps SME time focused on accuracy and nuance, not rewrites.

Accessibility is specified at the outset and verified at every build step. We apply WCAG‑conformant patterns for structure, color, contrast, keyboard navigation, captions/transcripts, alternative text, and interaction design. Assessments are designed with equivalent alternatives and clear instructions. Final QA includes assistive‑tech checks and an issues log, so your courses meet institutional policy and regulatory expectations.

We define success metrics up front—pre/post measures tied to objectives, rubric‑scored tasks, item analyses, and time‑to‑competency. Dashboards track engagement quality (not just clicks), at‑risk signals, and assessment evidence mapped to competencies. After launch, we run a rapid improvement cycle using learner analytics and faculty feedback to iterate on content, difficulty, and supports—so outcomes improve with each run.
