What is microlearning and when does it fit?

It means designing learning in very short lessons, each with a single objective. It fits when people learn during downtime — shifts, shop floor, warehouse — and when content changes often. It is the format we use most in Toluca and Lerma.

What is the difference between instructional design and course production?

Instructional design decides what is taught and how: objectives, sequence, script, storyboard, and assessment. Production builds it: graphic design, video, interactions, and SCORM or xAPI packaging. You can hire the design alone or the full cycle.

Can you do only the instructional design while my team produces?

Yes. We deliver a script and storyboard detailed enough for your in-house team or vendor to produce without guessing, and we can support production as reviewers.

Which instructional design models do you use?

ADDIE for large or regulated programs, SAM-style iterative cycles when content changes fast, microlearning for shift workers, and scenario-based learning for judgment skills. We choose based on the project.

Q: What is instructional design?

It is the process of planning a learning experience: defining measurable objectives, ordering the content, designing activities and practice, and building the assessment that verifies the result. It is what separates a course that teaches from a narrated sliofck.

We design the part that decides whether a course teaches or merely informs. For companies, universities, and schools in Toluca: needs analysis, measurable objectives, sequencing, instructional script, storyboard, and assessment — ready for your team or ours to produce.

What is instructional design and what does it include in Toluca?

Instructional design is the process that turns a topic into a learning experience: it defines what a person should be able to DO at the end, in what order they learn, which activities they practice with, and how the result is verified. Toluca and its valley form one of the country's largest manufacturing and logistics corridors: automotive, food, pharmaceuticals, and distribution centers. We work with your experts and deliver the script and storyboard before a single screen is produced. The full service lives in instructional design for virtual courses.

Instructional design for shift-based operations

An operator in the Toluca Valley does not have a free hour in front of a computer. Instructional design starts from that reality: 5-to-10-minute lessons, one objective per lesson, immediate practice, and spaced review across shifts. We design for phones and kiosks, with short assessments that tell you whether a person can execute the procedure, not whether they memorized the manual.

Coverage in Toluca and related services

We serve Lerma, Metepec, Zinacantepec, and the industrial parks of the Toluca Valley: on site when the project calls for it — capturing content, filming, working sessions with your experts — and remotely for everything else. The three services can be hired together or separately: in Toluca we also offer online course production in Toluca and course content design in Toluca. If you do not have a platform yet, see LMS platforms in Toluca. For instructor-led delivery, see corporate training in Toluca.

What instructional design delivers

Six deliverables your team — or ours — can produce without guessing.

Needs analysis

The gap between what people do today and what they should do, and which part of that gap a course can actually close.

Measurable objectives

Performance objectives written with observable verbs (Bloom's taxonomy), one per lesson: if it cannot be verified, it is not an objective.

Curriculum map

The full sequence by role, level, or subject: what comes first, what depends on what, and how long each part takes.

Instructional script

Content rewritten to teach: explanation, example, practice, and feedback, in your organization's tone.

Storyboard

Screen by screen: what is seen, what is heard, what the learner does, and what happens when they get it right or wrong.

Assessment and rubrics

Items aligned to each objective, cases, and performance rubrics — the evidence that learning happened.

Live demo

Try it: operate an engine manipulator in 360°

A working scenario, built with WebGL, that runs in the browser without installing anything. Look around the cell, learn the pendant and complete the lifting cycle.

Storyboard

Every simulation starts as a storyboard

Before any 3D we define the target behavior, the decisions that matter and what happens when the participant gets it wrong. That is what makes a simulator teach instead of entertain.

Feedback written for each error

Simulation design

Instructional design for simulations and 360° scenarios

A simulator teaches when it is designed backwards from the behavior you need. These are scenarios we script, storyboard and produce.

Lockout-tagout (LOTO)

De-energize, lock and tag in the right order. An out-of-sequence step is an error that gets recorded.

Which instructional design model fits your project

We are not married to one model: we choose based on the content, the deadline, and who is learning.

	How it works	When it fits
ADDIE	Analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation, in sequence with formal deliverables.	Large or regulated programs, or many departments that must sign off.
SAM (iterative)	Short cycles of prototype, test, and adjust.	Fast-changing content or teams already working in agile.
Microlearning	5-to-10-minute lessons with a single objective.	Shift workers, mobile learning, and spaced reinforcement.
Scenarios and storytelling	Cases with characters and decisions with consequences.	Judgment skills: service, leadership, safety, ethics.

Measurement

Objectives verified with data

Good instructional design shows afterwards: in what people do differently. That is why every objective is born with its assessment, and once the course is live we compare results against what it set out to achieve.

Every objective has an item or activity that verifies it
