Overview
Instructional designers are often expected to be “unicorns” — combining learning theory, authoring tools, and design skills to create polished, professional eLearning.
This course gives you the confidence and practical graphic design skills to make your courses visually engaging, accessible, and consistent — without needing a design background.
From colour theory and typography to layout, branding, and accessibility, you’ll learn techniques that instantly lift the look and feel of your learning materials.
This program is ideal for…

- New instructional designers — build confidence to create visually polished, professional modules from the start.
- Experienced instructional designers — refresh or refine your design skills to create modern, consistent, and accessible eLearning.
