1. The Learning Design Ecosystem
This overview shows how the full learning journey comes together, beginning with a needs analysis and culminating with evaluation, so you can see how your customer interactions can mirror the best of intentional course design.
Try This in Your Biz: Use this to audit your website or client funnel. Where are you inviting interaction? Where could learning deepen trust?
2. Course Planning Flowchart
This chart helps you clarify your purpose, audience, format, and scope before building a course or learning experience. It’s especially helpful for creatives or solopreneurs developing their first digital product.
Try This in Your Biz: Before you outline your next service, or offering, walk through these five stages and write 1–2 sentences for each.
3. Topic Analysis for Orientation Training
While this aid was designed for an education-based client, it’s a great example of breaking down a complex topic into meaningful chunks. It’s ideal for those creating curriculum or onboarding flows.
Try This in Your Biz: Break it down! Substitute “traffic laws” with your niche (nutrition, mindset, branding) and see how the same structure can clarify your content.
4. Learning Theories Comparison Chart
This visual compares behaviorism, constructivism, cognitivism, and connectivism. It’s a quick way to understand how humans learn—and how different approaches impact engagement.
Try This in Your Biz: Ask yourself which theory best fits your brand. Are you a connector? A builder? A challenger? Design your content accordingly.
5. Behavioral Flowchart for Learning Paths
This simple flowchart shows how decisions, actions, and feedback loops shape learning outcomes. Great for service providers building onboarding, coaching journeys, or long-term programs.
Try This in Your Biz: Map your customer journey as if it were a learning path. What behaviors are you trying to support, and what reinforcement helps?
