FAQs

What information should I share with an instructional designer about my project's goals?

Start by telling the designer what kind of course or training you need. Explain who will take the course and what you want them to learn. Be clear about what you want the final course to look like and any special tools or platforms you use.

How can I ensure the instructional designer understands my learners' needs?

Provide details about who will be learning. Talk about their age, background, and what they need to know. Share any surveys or feedback you have from past courses, so the designer can make the course just right for them.

What should I include in a project brief for a freelance instructional designer?

List all the things you want in the course, like videos, quizzes, or readings. Explain the main topics and skills you want to cover. Include any deadlines and how often you want to meet and discuss progress.

How can I set clear expectations for the instructional designer regarding deliverables?

Talk about what you want the designer to deliver at each step. Set dates for when you need to see drafts or final versions. Make sure both you and the designer write down and understand what you both expect.

What are some important checkpoints during an instructional design project?

Plan to check in with the designer at key points, like after they create the outline or develop a module. These meetings help you see the work and say if anything needs changing. Regular updates keep the project on track and prevent surprises.

How can I help the instructional designer create content that fits my brand?

Share brand guidelines, colors, and logos with the designer. Let them know about your company’s values and tone of voice. This helps the designer create content that feels like it belongs to your brand.

What should I do if I need instructional design concepts to fit within a specific technology?

Tell the designer about any learning management systems (LMS) or tools you use. Explain any technical needs or limitations. This way, they can design content that works perfectly on your systems.

How should I manage project timelines with a freelance instructional designer?

Work with the designer to create a timeline with deadlines for each phase. Be sure to include time for feedback and revisions. Use these deadlines to keep everyone focused and on schedule.
