Powering industry-leading content and asynchronous course development.
The Learning Sparks Studio develops scalable e-learning and asynchronous content across universities, institutions, membership organisations, corporations and beyond. We lead your team through content ideation, learning design and development—culminating in award-winning production, whether in our campus studio facility, a pop-up mobile studio, or captured by our global team, wherever you are.
The process is inclusive by design: it takes the knowledge held in the minds of your employees, leadership, faculty, students, community and corporate partners, and delivers it to your learners in the best possible way. Our international, multi-disciplinary team supports every stage—from ideation, instructional design and audience scoping to SME engagement, scripting and the full, broadcast-quality production cycle. Truly collaborative, we combine the Learning Sparks process with your ambition and the knowledge of your experts.
