I bet you know your subject area inside out, whether you gathered content through your own experience or in collaboration with others (people and/or AI).
Now it's time to organize and deliver that content in ways that truly engage learners and set them up for success.
There are three core principles at the heart of all great learning experiences, whether we're talking about online courses, live or virtual workshops, masterclasses, videos, games or simulations... To create learning that makes a real difference, you need to follow these steps (in this order!):
- Set the right objectives
- Identify the right content
- Select the right format and strategies
This course shows you what great learning looks like.
The Learning Blueprint: Fundamentals course is designed for people who want to create experiences that deliver what learners need to be successful. Because their success is your success.
You'll find this course especially valuable if you are:
- An expert or consultant creating a course or program for clients
- An entrepreneur or coach developing a learning-based offer
- A content creator or community builder who teaches through media
No background in education or instructional design required
Here's a quick video explaining who I am and why I care so much about learning design.

Detailed Outline
Why I Created This Course
I've spent over 25 years working with organizations to create meaningful learning - and I've seen how often people get going without a clear plan for what makes learning work well.
The Learning Blueprint: Fundamentals course distills the fundamentals of learning design into clear practical guidelines for creating powerful learning experiences.
My goal is to help you share what you know in ways that move minds, open possibilities, and create lasting impact.
