At Crosscut Studio, we'll custom design a state-of-the-art course that you couldn't dream up on your own.
Talk to Us
Your situation and goals are unique. Schedule a free 25-minute conversation to discuss your project and ask your questions. We’d love to hear what you are working on. The packages listed below are starting points for a dialogue, not fixed offerings.
Starter Package
This consulting package is ideal for business owners, NGOs, and creatives that are designing their own digital, in-person, or hybrid courses and need help getting started or unstuck.
Over a two-week period, we discuss your vision and address the obstacles that are holding you back from creating and launching your best product. You’ll gain the clarity and confidence you need to design, produce, and launch an educational offering that has impact, integrity, and cutting-edge design and media.
The Starter Package includes:
30-min kick-off call
Customized interim assignment, between kick-off call and consulting session, designed to help you make progress between meetings
75-min deep-dive consulting session on Zoom, recorded for unlimited viewing
“Next Steps for Your Product” document: a personalized post-session action list to keep your momentum going
After answering a few questions, you’ll hear back from us within 48 hours with an invitation to book your first meeting.
Design Package
This package is for business owners, NGOs, and creatives who have big ambitions and broad goals for their online offering, but need educational and design expertise to translate their vision into reality. Over a three-month period, we work with you to create a customized map for your online educational offering, utilizing our signature four-part design process:
Clarify your vision. We help you define the purpose of your offering and examining how it will support your overall business and organizational goals. We put the biggest questions first and take them on together: why are you offering this course? What impact do you want it to have? What will it take to get it off the ground?
Create Learner Personas. We help you understand the characteristics and goals of archetypal learners who are likely to enroll in your course or training. Our Learner Personas document describes the goals, skills, attitudes, and background information of your future learners and will guide our design decisions through the rest of the process.
Define learning objectives, scope, and sequence. We write learning objectives for your product, offer an approach to assignments and assessments, and outline your content from beginning to end, including suggestions for which type of media—video, audio, slide decks, text, diagrams, photos—will best support the teaching of each course section.
Design virtual learning communities and human-human interactions. We consider the benefits of a variety of interpersonal learning interactions in the teaching and learning of your course content and help you choose which types to build into your curriculum. We make sure that your students will have the opportunity to engage in rich discussions, practice new skills, build relationships, and receive feedback and insights from peers.
At the end of this design phase, you will have everything you need to produce your digital offering on your own, or hire Crosscut Studio to produce it for you.
The Design Package includes:
30-minute kick-off call
Five 75-minute consulting sessions, recorded for unlimited viewing
Customized assignments between consults designed to help you make progress between meetings
Interim email support
A Learner Personas document that summarizes the goals and characteristics of your archetypal learners
A Comprehensive Learning Map that outlines your entire offering including learning goals, module topics, an approach to assessment, and suggestions for all media types
After answering a few questions, you’ll hear back from us within 48 hours with an estimate for your Design Package and invitation to book a free 30-minute chat.
Production Package
The Production Package is an option for clients that have already completed our Design Package and are ready to produce their course.
Crosscut Studio oversees all aspects of production: selecting the LMS (learning management system), course building, design and branding, video shooting and editing, audio production, writing, graphic design, assessment creation, and pilot testing. All work is done in collaboration with you, the client; expect to spend ten hours a week in close collaboration with Crosscut Studio for the length of the contract.
Price: The cost of production is dependent upon the size and scale of the project, and is estimated *after* the design work is complete.
“Crosscut Studio guided me through every step of the process. Each team member has amazing communication skills -- it all felt so easy. They helped me refine my topic, map out my content, choose an LMS, and design and develop every aspect of the course. They shot and edited my videos, copyedited my writing, and designed and built my course in an LMS. The Crosscut team brought my vision to life in a way I never could have done on my own. I'm so pleased with the final product.
Most importantly, this course has expanded my network of clients and scaled my business in ways that no other business investment has. I’m so grateful to Crosscut Studio and especially to Leah!”
