Instructional Media

Photography, illustration, infographics, charts, tables, and more can all play a part in your visual strategy. We can turn that strategy into a visual symphony. Make each graphic match your learning strategy, engage learners with interactive visuals, or editorialize compliance training. We’ll draw in your learners on every screen, and use an inclusive range of photography and illustration to make sure your learners feel represented.
Case Study

Video

Whether it’s a demonstration, dramatization, or an introductory message from a respected leader in your organization, training video production creates an emotional connection with your learning audience beyond any other digital medium. Our storytelling solutions range from YouTube-style shoots to full-scale corporate training video productions based on your specific needs.
Case Study

Branding & Identity

We implement your brand into every deliverable from the curriculum level down to the sentence level. If your project requires special branding of its own, we’ll consult with you on how to name, visualize, and implement curriculum-specific branding that fits in with your company’s brand. Then let us help you communicate that message company-wide to give your training all the attention it deserves.
Case Study

Motion Graphics

When video is impractical, bring your content to life with eLearning motion graphics. Increase learner retention or shorten seat time by simplifying complex concepts with explainer videos and eLearning animation. Motion is the perfect medium to show instead of tell. Or motivate your learners with dynamic introductions to modules, courses, or curricula.
Case Study

Accessibility

No modern website, training or otherwise, is complete without WCAG compliance. Pick your level of compliance and we will make sure that graphics, fonts, colors, and styles pass contrast and readability requirements. Then we’ll work with our technical team to make sure all other aspects of your course meet your technical standards of inclusion.

Learning Success from Instructional Media

AllenComm’s in-house creative team produces custom interface designs, motion and video graphics, and every type of instructional media you can imagine  

UX and Course Design

To better realize the learning objectives for your program, the learner audience must be able to easily navigate your digital content and connect complex principles to clarifying illustrations. Excellence in user experience (UX) design is critical for a learner experience that is intuitive and engaging. From our tried-and-true signature UX designs to completely custom experiences, your AllenComm creative team has the expertise to capture learner attention, improve comprehension, and increase learning retention.

Motion and Video

Video and motion graphics have proven to be highly effective methods for online learning. They can also be useful in change management for rollout communications, etc. Our AllenComm experts will design the video or motion-graphics solution that is right for your use case and for your budget. We can simply record the essentials, or we can bring in professional actors, custom sets, and shoot from multiple camera angles. In instances where this may be impractical, we can use animation with audio to bring these scenarios to life using illustration or stock assets rather than shooting new video.  

Features

  • Show progression, sequences, or workflows 
  • Model interpersonal interactions that need to capture the nuances of gesture and facial expression 
  • Present a setting or environment to contextualize the content 
  • Tell stories, provide testimonials, demonstrate safe practices

  • Greater attention from learners 
  • More comprehensive modeling of interpersonal skills 
  • Increased relevance and recall from situating the learning in a specific context 
  • Less to read and more to experience 

Crafting Immersive Learning Experiences

The visual elements of your instructional design are critical to success. Today’s media-savvy learners recognize quality, and DIY graphics can be a distraction and an impediment to learning.

We're a training company with an award-winning creative services team. We know how to get the attention of your audience.

“From the time we initially had our project design workshop through the finished product, AllenComm has been a trusted and valued partner for their ability to deliver quality offerings with graphics and detail that goes far beyond that of most vendors in this space. We are continuing to use them not only for their expertise, but for their commitment to exceeding customer expectations.”
