Our process
We adapt our process, team, and way of working to suit the needs of your organisation. Our process generally includes the following phases:
PHASE | EXPLANATION | DELIVERABLE/S |
1. Needs Analysis and Project Initiation | We begin by conducting a thorough needs analysis to understand your organisation’s training requirements. This helps us identify the key learning objectives, target audience, and any specific challenges that need to be addressed. We start each project with a comprehensive project initiation phase. During this phase, we work closely with key stakeholders to deliver a Project Initiation Document (PID) that outlines the scope of work, optimal ways of working, key decisions, and high-level content mapping. This ensures that all parties have a clear understanding of the project’s objectives, timeline, and deliverables. The Project Initiation document will also contain a project plan outlining key project timelines. | Project Schedule Project Initiation document |
2. Instructional Design | Based on the insights gathered, we design and develop custom elearning solutions tailored to your needs. Our team uses the latest design tools and technologies to create engaging and effective learning experiences. Our instructional design and content development process involves collaborating with your subject matter experts (SMEs) to create storyboards that accurately reflect your training needs. We facilitate review sessions with SMEs to incorporate their feedback, ensuring the content is accurate, relevant, and engaging. During the Instructional Design phase, storyboards are developed, detailing all written information for each screen along with any functional notes on how pages will be developed. This phase is where we will proactively work with stakeholders and subject matter experts through content workshops to translate source materials into a storyboard document. | Storyboard document Audio scripts Video scripts (if required) |
3. Development | The development phase is where we will transform the information in the storyboards into a fully functional course. We will initially develop an Alpha (draft) version that has text, graphics, animation sequences and interactivity developed. This version contains computer-generated audio, providing an opportunity to make changes to the audio prior to professional recording. We enhance the learning experience by integrating various multimedia elements such as videos, animations, and interactive simulations. The next versions Beta, and Gold (final) are also open for further review of text and graphics. | Fully functional course |
4. Delivery | This is where we assist with the implementation of the elearning course/s. We ensure that the courses are seamlessly integrated into your existing LMS or deployed on our hosting platform if needed. Our designs are responsive, ensuring that learners can access training on any device, from desktops to smartphones. This mobile-optimised approach guarantees a seamless learning experience across different platforms. We provide support during the launch of your elearning courses, ensuring a smooth rollout. Our team is available to assist with any technical issues and provide guidance to learners and administrators. | Fully functional course and source files |
Evaluation and improvement
After the launch, the effectiveness of the courses should be continually evaluated. We can provide any support in this area if required. We gather feedback from learners and use data analytics to identify areas for improvement, making necessary adjustments to enhance the learning experience. Our commitment to excellence doesn’t end with the delivery of the elearning modules. We continuously evaluate their effectiveness, gather feedback from learners, and use data analytics to identify areas for improvement. This iterative approach ensures that your training remains relevant, engaging, and effective over time.
Working together
How we work is also tailored to your organsiation. Customer service is designed to ensure seamless communication and collaboration throughout the project. It involves the following key elements:
Regular progress check-ins. At the commencement of the project, we work with key stakeholders to determine the optimal frequency for progress update meetings. These meetings allow us to provide updates on activities, discuss upcoming deliverables, review project timelines, and address any risks and mitigations.
Meeting minutes and follow-up actions. We share minutes of progress meetings and any required follow-up actions to keep everyone on the same page.
Discovery workshops and review meetings. Conducting discovery workshops and review meetings is integral to our elearning module development and improvement processes.
Responsive communication. The Lucid team is committed to same-day responses for any phone call, email, or Teams message. While we may not resolve all issues within the same day, we ensure your queries are acknowledged and provide a reasonable timeframe for resolution.
Accessibility
Our courses are developed to meet WCAG 2.2 Level AA standards. Independant audits are conducted to follow the WebAIM WCAG 2 Checklist. This includes:
- Visual checks. Ensuring that all visual elements meet accessibility standards.
- Screen reader evaluation. Testing compatibility with screen readers like JAWS, NVDA, and VoiceOver.
- User stories (Manual testing). Conducting hands-on testing to ensure compliance with WCAG 2.2 Level AA guidelines.
- Keyboard navigation. Verifying that the courses can be navigated using only a keyboard.
- Colour contrast. Checking that text and background colors meet minimum contrast ratios.
- Alternative text for images. Ensuring all images have descriptive alt text.
- Captions and transcript review. Providing accurate captions and transcripts for multimedia content.
- Error identification and resolution. Identifying accessibility errors and providing solutions to fix them.

We build our delivery teams and processes based on the needs of our clients. We can scale up and down based on the needs of specific projects, while also offering the flexibility and capability to operate as a partner in achieving longer-term strategic initiatives. This means we are less transactional and more focused on your strategic goals.

- Legal Reviews. All content is independently legally reviewed to ensure it’s compliant with any relevant legislation. This significantly reduces wasted effort during SME reviews and ensures that learning content and assessments meet any legal requirements relevant to the subject. This is particularly useful when reporting to potential regulators.
