How We Helped

McKissock's Challenge

The Upwork job post said it all, Need creative instructional designer to make boring text-based course come alive. McKissock needed to spice up their boring (their words… not ours) courses. They were looking for pizzazz!

Melissa Wilson, Vice President of Business Development at parent company Colibri Group, challenged us by handing over the lowest customer rated courses in their portfolio. Our job was to make the content come to life and bring engagement into the courses.

Our Solution

The URL dr definitely had a challenge. The original online courses were text-based with no interactive components or video. To add to the challenge, the material was appraisal training for the real estate industry. Pretty dry subject matter, that we had to figure out how to “spice it up.”

After reviewing and analyzing the learning approach, the audience, the LMS system, and the instructional materials that existed, The URL Dr developed a new online learning program that incorporated animation and storytelling with a real estate theme, that truly spoke to the audience.

The Results

The newly imagined course, with real estate imagery and animated characters, brought the content to life. 147 Videos in total were created for this project. Quality scores of the new and improved courses were through the roof! The client was extremely happy with the results, which led to further courses being updated.
