The ADDILE™ Process | A True Partnership

We don’t just design courses—our instructional design team co-creates solutions with our client-partners and subject matter experts through our proprietary ADDILE™ process. ADDILE™ stands for:

ANALYSIS –> DESIGN –> DEVELOPMENT –> IMPLEMENTATION –-> LESSONS LEARNED –> EVALUATION

This iterative and collaborative approach ensures that our work is not only aligned with your organizational needs but also adaptive and scalable. From kickoff to launch—and beyond—our team will stay by your side to refine and enhance your learning initiatives.

While instructional design services are the specific offerings we provide, the ADDILE™ instructional design process is how we deliver them. Our services are rooted in our process and adult learning theory, ensuring that every deliverable is guided by learning outcomes to create a thoughtful, intentional, and customized user experience.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is instructional design?

Instructional design is the science and art of creating learning experiences that help people acquire knowledge and skills efficiently and effectively. Think of it as architecture for learning—where we blueprint the experience before building it. We combine research-backed learning theories with creative strategy to ensure that your training doesn’t just look good—it works.

Impactful instructional design support:

  • Boosts learner engagement and knowledge retention

  • Reduces onboarding and training time

  • Aligns training outcomes with business goals

  • Promotes consistency across learning programs

  • Supports compliance and industry standards

Instructional designers analyze learning needs, review existing instructional materials, develop a learning strategy, and create training materials that are engaging, effective, and aligned with specific goals. At AligneDesigns, we go beyond the basics by integrating research-based practices with your organization’s voice and vision—whether that’s for eLearning, workshops, or occupational standards.

We don’t just deliver custom eLearning development and learning content—we design learning experiences rooted in our trademarked ADDILE™ development process, a collaborative and adaptive approach that ensures every solution and all course materials are aligned with your goals and responsive to your learners’ needs.

 

What truly sets us apart is our commitment to quality and professional standards. AligneDesigns is led by Canadian Certified Instructional Designers (CCID)—a designation that reflects our expertise, ethical practice, and commitment to quality-assurance through evidence-based methodologies. We also partner with Michael Foley at eLearnza and include him on all our development teams. Michael is a highly-experienced eLearning Developer with award-winning work . With over 25 years in the sector, he augments our team of instructional design experts by integrating innovative educational technology, graphic design, and artificial intelligence to his eLearning designs. These tools take the educational content and online programs to the next level through interactive simulations, real-world case studies that focus on skill development. We like to think of ourselves as the yin to your yang!

Hiring a certified instructional designer ensures you’re working with a professional who has been rigorously evaluated in areas like learning theory, online learning strategy, accessibility, evaluation, and curriculum development. We also have a professional requirement to complete yearly professional development. It’s not just about creating nice-looking courses—it’s about designing learning that works and delivers measurable results. Both, Brittany and Leigha are trained in the Quality Matters Framework which is an industry-recognized standard for quality assurance in online and blended course design.

Absolutely! We specialize in eLearning course redesign and training course modernization. Whether your content needs a visual refresh, better engagement strategies, or technical updates through software like Articulate Storyline (e.g., SCORM/xAPI compatibility), we can breathe new life into your existing materials to create more effective learning experiences.

That’s perfectly okay! Many of our partnerships begin with a Training Needs Analysis. We help you uncover what’s working, what’s missing, and what’s possible—then build a tailored strategy and learning team to meet the goals of your target audience.

Project timelines vary depending on scope and complexity. A single eLearning module may take a few weeks, while a full program development could take a few months. We will act as project managers and work with you to establish realistic timelines and maintain regular communication through each phase of our ADDILE™ process.

Yes! We offer LMS consulting and setup support, helping you choose the right platform, configure it for your business needs, and ensure your content is optimized for delivery.

Costs vary depending on the type of service, level of customization, amount of content creation and project length. We provide transparent, project-based pricing and are happy to offer a consultation to scope your needs and provide a quote.
