You don't want to make dull learning anymore.

You know that video is a critical tool in your Learning Design toolkit, but when it comes to writing scripts, you feel like you could be more effective. The content feels dry. The flow isn't quite right. You're worried your learners won't watch all the way to the end-- or even worse, they will but they won't learn anything.

Love what you write.

What if instead of staring at the cursor blinking on the empty page, you had simple tools and strategies to translate your SME's encyclopedia of information into scripts that speak to the audience? What if you could easily identify critical concepts and translate them into language that the audience just gets?

Nicole is amazing. Not only did she structure the course in an intuitive, easy-to-understand way, but she's also always personally available for constructive feedback, questions and suggestions! This was not just another video course where I was nothing more than a passive viewer. Nicole incorporated assignments and challenges that kept me on my toes and helped my learning process immensely. I now feel like I know what to pay attention to when putting together a well-written video script! Thank you Nicole!
