FAQ
-
Q: What is the most effective way to deliver a course?A: The best delivery format for the chosen course is one that helps you keep your learners' attention and present learning material in an adapted form for self-paced eLearning, live workshops, blended learning, or cohort-based programs.
-
Q: What instructional design models do you usually work with?A: We usually start with ADDIE and adjust our process with SAM (agile/prototyping), Bloom’s Taxonomy, or Backward Design, depending on your timeline, content complexity, and the learning objectives you share with us. Sometimes, we can use Rapid Development if you need a new course for yesterday.
-
Q: How much does it cost to work with an instructional designer?A: When you provide us with the information we need—or when we prepare a proposal for you after the discovery call—the final price will depend on course length, level of interactivity, assessments, and the involvement of specialists such as an Instructional Designer, Subject Matter Expert (SME), eLearning Developer, Assessment & Evaluation Specialist, Content Manager, and Project Manager. We will provide you with a clear estimate.

Q: What are the main types of instructional design approaches?A: Common approaches, as a rule, include learner-centered design, competency-based learning, scenario-based learning, microlearning, and blended learning.
-
Q: Which techniques do instructional designers use to motivate and engage learners?A: Instructional designers and eLearning developers may use different types of interactivity (quizzes, scenarios) and add real-world practice, along with optional gamification mechanics and principles for better engagement and knowledge retention.
The RaccoonGang has been nothing but exception with regards to the planning of, developing and after-service when it came to our edX roll-out. More so, the learning curve on this has been huge for us and RG has simply made it possible with the sharing of knowledge and answering of questions. We would not be in the position we are now where we have a competitive solution in market had it not been for the RG and their teams of supportive staff. I would highly recommend RG to any company.
