Design Access is driven to produce engaging, delightful, behavior-changing courses. At the same time, we realize that not every course needs to be a fully custom affair. We embrace the speed and ease of rapid tools like Articulate to build the overall structure to the course. Alone, these courses can be boring page-turners that anesthetize the learner. To avoid this, we do careful needs analysis, clear writing, and balanced design to make the course engaging and relevant. And we go one step farther, drawing on our years of experience building custom interactions. We focus our custom efforts on high-priority concepts and behaviors. We weave these custom bits at critical points in the rapid course, to build a hybrid.

Recently, one of our large pharmaceutical clients, with 6 years experience in eLearning, commented that, “Your rapid was better than any course, custom or rapid, that I’ve ever seen! Interaction where it mattered. Clean clear graphics throughout. Great writing! You anticipated the learner’s objections, and addressed them proactively!”

We love hybrids! Less time wasted on basic paging and testing interfaces, more time focused on great writing, memorable graphics, and meaningful interaction.
