The Screen
Digital Courses
A course lets your teaching scale beyond the room, but only if it's built for how adults learn alone at a screen. These engagements structure your method so learners finish, absorb, and apply; not just start.
Course Strategy Session
Shape your method into a curriculum a learner can follow
Priced per project
Best for: Experts with a course idea but no clear shape yet
A focused session built on a proper needs assessment; defining your learner, the transformation the course promises, and the learning outcomes that deliver it. You leave with a complete curriculum outline and clarity on what belongs in this course, and what doesn't.

Turn your method into a course that teaches, not just talks
Priced per project
Best for: Experts ready to build a flagship course
The full design engagement. Learning outcomes, module architecture, lesson sequencing, storyboarding, scripts and supporting resources, all structured around cognitive load so learners can absorb, retain, and apply what you teach, without you in the room.

From first outline to launch-ready course
Priced per project
Best for: Experts who want a senior partner across the whole build
An end-to-end partnership across the full creation journey; needs assessment, learning outcomes, storyboarding, lesson content, workbooks, knowledge checks, learner journey, and review. Your expertise, shaped into a course that holds its standard long after you've stopped explaining it live.
Learn moreEvery Element of Course Creation
A course that teaches is more than recorded expertise. Each engagement draws on the full discipline of elearning design.
Needs Assessment
Before anything is designed, we establish who the learner is, what they already know, and the gap the course must close.
Learning Outcomes
Every module is anchored to clear, measurable outcomes; what the learner will be able to do, not just what they will have watched.
Curriculum Mapping
Modules and lessons sequenced in the order a learner needs them, with one idea building cleanly on the last.
Storyboarding
Each lesson mapped beat by beat before production; what is said, shown, and practised, so filming becomes execution rather than invention.
Scripts and Workbooks
Lesson scripts, workbooks, and supporting resources shaped in your voice, giving learners space to absorb, practise, and apply.
Knowledge Checks and Review
Assessments and reflection points built into the learner journey, then the whole course reviewed end to end as a learner would experience it.
Built to Teach Without You in the Room
Most online courses are abandoned within the first few modules, not because the expertise is weak, but because the structure overwhelms. Every course here is designed around cognitive load; one idea building cleanly on the last, with room to absorb, practise, and apply. Humanistic and transformative learning theory shape the rest; the course meets the learner's lived experience and aims for genuine change, not just completion.

Digital Course Questions
What does a digital course strategist do?
Elaine O'Neill helps experts plan and build online courses that people finish and apply. That covers learning outcomes, curriculum architecture, module and lesson structure, scripts, assessments, and the learner experience, grounded in adult learning theory.
What is included in building an elearning course?
A complete elearning course includes a learner analysis, measurable learning objectives, a curriculum map, storyboards, scripts, video and visual planning, activities, quizzes with feedback, and a plan for platform build and testing.
Why do people not finish online courses?
Most courses overload learners with information and give them too little practice. Applying cognitive load theory, with short focused lessons, clear sequencing, and regular application, keeps learners moving through to the end.
Where should I start with a course idea?
A Course Strategy Session clarifies your learner, outcomes, and format. From there, a Course Blueprint maps the full curriculum, and the Course Creation Partnership takes it through to launch.
Have you built courses before?
Yes. Elaine O'Neill has designed corporate courses as an Instructional Designer at Kubicle and Skillsoft, including Kubicle's Strategic Analysis course, and worked on the Hay House Moonology Certification course as Commissioning Editor at Hay House UK.
