Elements of good program design
Thoughtful Preparation
A good program design helps students make sense of new information by relating it to something they already know or to something they have already experienced. It takes a constructivist approach to learning which is achieved by considering the needs of the cohort of learners and designing activities that will engage them and support their learning.
Exceptional Design
Unlike architecture and construction, education program design is rarely constructed on a “green-field”. Instead, educational courses, materials, resources, assessment, and curriculum are often in place and design work is, therefore, more accurately referred to as re-design work (Goodyear & Dimitriadis, 2013).
Leveraging Technology
Technology is integral to the design process. Good design makes informed decisions about how technology is chosen and used. Equally important is adopting a holistic perspective and considering all aspects of the learning environment. And we cannot ignore the reality that video has become a highly used resource in digital education from TED talks, to Youtube to interactive video.
CORPORATE TRAINING ONLINE
With about 90% of corporations now using online learning compared to just 4% in 1995 (LinkedIn & KPMG, 2015 & 2018), the business sector is bound to be one of the biggest growth drivers in the online education industry this decade.
COME LEARN WITH US
In 2019 we launched our own Marketing Academy. We continue to develop training modules for individual marketers and business startups. It is also a way for our clients to reduce their reliance on marketing retainer contracts by having in-house team members learn to do what we do.
CHOOSING THE RIGHT PLATFORM
There are many new education platforms available, such as Thinkific, Learnable, and Udemy. We think these are all great platforms, they are more affordable than Kajabi, and may well be the best solution for your objectives. We decided to partner with Kajabi because it is in a league of its own for its design features and range of built-in functionality.

Sweet words from clients
A creative and professional team. Brought forward high-value ideas that were also practical and actionable for our team. Their team demonstrated integrity and follow through - a real focus on business results.
I am so very excited that my new website is now launched, and I am thankful for many reasons; As my business has expanded & grown, it was time for my website to transform as well. To work with Julian Smit on this project, who is so incredibly talented and creative.
I needed something done very quickly. Like most businesses, I needed it to be done at a good price yet top quality. I could not have asked for a better experience. Just great work and great to work with. Highly recommend!
Always a pleasure working with J.D. Nevins Communication team. Fast, reliable and delivers results. What else can you ask for? Everything about working with J.D. Nevins communications was excellent. I would highly recommend!
My favourite part of working with J.D. Nevins was their clarity, generosity and integrity in all of our interactions. They made sure I understood all the moving parts moving forward, helped me gauge the scope of what was in front of me and how best to proceed.
I loved how responsive, personal and focused Julian was on meeting our tight timeline - he also provided a lot of added value beyond the original quote - the project came in on time and on budget and was very well received by our audience and customer base.
Job done with a dash of wit and a good dressing of expertise. Result? Increased exposure for my business and solid connections to drive revenue.
Exceptionally pleasant and relaxed. I never felt "pushed" into something that would not be helpful for my company. Again, finding an agency like this is super rare. If you've had bad experiences in the past, call these guys. You will love the experience!
