Core Instructional Competencies

What Your Instructional Design VA Executes Daily

Free your senior instructional designers to focus on needs assessments, SME interviews, and learning theory architecture. Delegate the heavy production, formatting, media editing, and LMS testing to trained specialists.

Storyboard-to-Storyline Buildout & Staging

Converting raw Word or PowerPoint storyboards into interactive Storyline slides consumes 60% of an author's time. Your VA builds slide layouts, maps text to feedback layers, sets button states, and formats interactions.

Populating slide layouts from approved template masters
Configuring triggers, layers, states, and simple variables
Building accordion, tabbed, and flashcard interactions in Rise 360

Accelerates course authoring velocity by 3x

Knowledge Checks & Question Bank Setup

Building multiple-choice, drag-and-drop, and branching scenario assessments requires detail-oriented execution. Your assistant inputs question banks, configures passing scores, and aligns feedback statements.

Entering formative and summative quiz items into Storyline & Rise
Setting up randomized question draws from categorized banks
Setting remedial review jumps and customized result slides

Precise alignment with Bloom's Taxonomy objectives

Voiceover Splicing, AI Narration & Audio Sync

Synchronizing audio waveforms to slide animations is tedious and repetitive. Your VA generates AI scratch tracks in WellSaid/ElevenLabs, cuts SME audio files in Audacity, and aligns animations to cue points.

Cleaning up mouth clicks, pauses, and background hiss in Audacity
Generating neural text-to-speech voiceovers with correct pacing
Syncing slide entrance/exit animations to narration cue points

Studio-quality audio sync on every module

Section 508 & WCAG 2.1 AA Accessibility QA

Enterprise and higher-ed courses mandate strict accessibility compliance. Your VA performs color contrast audits, customizes tab focus orders for keyboard navigation, and writes descriptive image Alt text.

Generating and syncing closed-caption VTT/SRT video files
Setting logical tab focus order for screen reader navigation
Auditing 4.5:1 text color contrast ratios via Colour Contrast Analyser

100% audit-proof course accessibility

SCORM Packaging & LMS Tracking Verification

Prevent learner completion tickets before launch. Your assistant exports course ZIP files, tests bookmarking and completion in SCORM Cloud, uploads packages into Canvas/Moodle, and audits gradebook syncing.

Exporting SCORM 1.2, 2004 (4th Edition), and xAPI/cmi5 packages
Sandbox debugging in SCORM Cloud to verify score and status passback
Testing cross-browser resume state and responsive mobile layout

Zero LMS launch surprises or tracking bugs

Review 360 Comment Triage & Asset Sourcing

Chasing Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) and implementing minor copy revisions drains instructional design momentum. Your VA manages Review 360 comments, tracks version changes, and sources royalty-free vectors.

Cataloging and applying copy edits from Articulate Review 360
Sourcing on-brand stock imagery, iconography, and video clips
Maintaining course change logs and version-controlled archive drives

Painless, organized SME revision cycles

Industry Social Proof

Trusted by Instructional Designers, L&D Directors & E-Learning Studios

See how SageDoer assistants help learning teams accelerate module delivery while saving 20+ hours each week.

"We had to convert 45 compliance modules into Rise and Storyline before Q4. My instructional designers were drowning in media sourcing and trigger setup. SageDoer’s assistant took over the heavy buildout, freeing our senior IDs to focus on SME interviews."

Dr. Karen Mitchell, Ph.D.

Director of Learning & Development, Global FinTech, Chicago

"The free Project Manager supervision is what sets SageDoer apart. I don't have to verify whether audio cue points match animations or check if SCORM 2004 4th Edition packages are exporting properly. Our PM verifies everything before it reaches my desk."

Bradley Thornton

Principal Consultant, Kinetic Learning Systems, Denver

"Accessibility audits used to give our team nightmares. SageDoer’s VA handles color contrast checks, closed captions, and tab focus order in Storyline like second nature. Passed our university’s Section 508 review with zero defects."

Sarah Langford

Senior Instructional Technologist, Pacific State University

"We tried Upwork freelancers previously and lost 3 weeks fixing broken trigger logic in Captivate. SageDoer’s assistant understood our ADDIE process immediately. When our primary VA took leave, our PM deployed a trained backup seamlessly."

Frequently Answered

Genuine Questions from Instructional Designers & L&D Managers

Clear, transparent answers regarding authoring software licenses, course file confidentiality, SCORM/xAPI testing, and SME feedback handling.

Yes. Our instructional design assistants are trained in the Articulate 360 ecosystem. They build custom slides from templates, configure multi-state buttons, set condition-based triggers, insert motion paths, format question banks, configure feedback layers, and assemble Rise 360 lesson blocks (interactive tabs, accordions, flashcards, process carousels). You provide the storyboard and master style guide; they execute the build.

Corporate training often contains sensitive IP, proprietary workflows, and confidential product roadmaps. All SageDoer personnel sign legally binding Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs). We access your LMS, Articulate 360 Team seats, or cloud drives (Google Drive/SharePoint) using dedicated role-based credentials managed through encrypted password vaults (1Password/Bitwarden). No course assets or source files are stored on personal machines.

Senior instructional designers should focus on learning architecture, cognitive load balance, and SME interviews—not micromanaging junior build tasks or tracking timesheets. Your dedicated Project Manager serves as your single point of contact. They review slide outputs against your style guide, audit SCORM Cloud test logs, verify shift attendance, and deliver consolidated progress reports at zero extra fee. You pay strictly for the assistant's pure working hours.

Yes. Our VAs understand WCAG 2.1 AA principles. They generate and sync closed-caption VTT/SRT files for embedded video and audio, configure logical tab focus orders in Storyline so screen readers read elements in the intended sequence, audit color contrast ratios against minimum 4.5:1 standards, and write meaningful Alt text for instructional images and charts.

Instructional design workflows often feature sprint crunches right before fiscal-year training rollouts or enterprise software migrations. Because SageDoer operates with zero long-term locking contracts, you have complete agility. You can seamlessly scale from Part-Time (20 hrs/week) to Full-Time (40 hrs/week) or add fractional support to clear a backlog without recruiting delays or hiring overhead.
