Curriculum and programme design
Translate goals and standards into clear learning outcomes, journeys, modules, activities and progression.
- Learning outcomes and competency maps
- Course and module architecture
- Facilitator and learner journeys
E-Learning and Skill Development
Design learning. Strengthen performance.
Consultancy Mantra designs learning systems and skill-development programmes for real roles, institutions and delivery environments. Work can include curricula, digital learning, assessment, facilitation, practice and performance support.
E-Learning & Learning Design
Design learning that people can use.
We begin with the learner, the context and the performance outcome, then shape the curriculum, experience, assessment and delivery model.
Digital and blended learning
Combine content, interaction, practice and human support in an accessible learning experience.
- Instructional design and storyboards
- Microlearning and e-learning
- Blended delivery models
Assessment and continuous improvement
Design assessments and feedback loops that show application, not just recall or completion.
- Assessment blueprints
- Rubrics and performance tasks
- Learning analytics and iteration
Skill Development
Build applied capability where performance happens.
People build real skill through practice and feedback, not information alone, and it needs support from managers to stick. Our guide explains when to choose training or wider capability building.
Strengthen teaching, facilitation and institutional practice.
Create development journeys that connect expert input with practice, feedback, reflection and sustained application.
- Faculty development programmes
- Train-the-trainer systems
- Communities of practice
- Institutional strengthening
Build role-based skills and performance support.
Align learning pathways with real roles, decisions and behaviours instead of generic training calendars.
- Role and skill-gap assessment
- Learning pathways and academies
- Performance support tools
- Adoption and reinforcement
Delivery in context
Combine digital delivery with human practice.
The right mix may include digital content, expert explanation, peer exchange, guided practice and feedback.
Selected learning work
Examples grounded in real delivery settings.
These examples describe documented contributions and practice settings. They do not imply quantified outcomes or endorsement by the organisations named.
SWAYAM micro-credential course design.
For DigitalSkills2Succeed micro-credential courses, work delivered through The Learning Designers Community for a GIZ-supported initiative began with the learning purpose and the decisions participants needed to make. The contribution connected course architecture with activities, assessment and quality review so the pieces formed one coherent learning journey.
This is the kind of assignment where a content outline is only a starting point. Learning outcomes, sequencing, practice and assessment need to reinforce one another, while the digital format must remain understandable without a facilitator constantly present.
- Course and module architecture
- Learning activities and assessment
- Quality review across the learning journey
GeoGebra learning with NVS educators.
Practice-led mathematics technology workshops with Navodaya Vidyalaya Samiti educators used both in-person and online formats. The documented work combined tool demonstration with guided classroom applications, faculty practice and professional discussion rather than treating software familiarity as the final outcome.
The example shows why capability building needs an operating context. Participants must connect a tool to the subject they teach, try relevant tasks, discuss how it may fit classroom practice and leave with a clearer route for continued application. Photographs and a three-day online workshop record document the setting and contribution without making an unsupported performance claim.
- Demonstration connected to mathematics teaching
- Guided application and participant practice
- Discussion around classroom use
How we deliver learning and skill engagements
Move from an identified need to sustained application.
This workflow sits within the wider Consult → Build → Amplify process.
Diagnose
Identify the audience, task, current practice, barriers and intended capability outcome.
Design
Shape the journey, curriculum, practice, facilitation, tools and assessment around the operating context.
Deliver and support
Enable participation, application and feedback through digital, blended or in-person formats.
Transfer and improve
Strengthen internal ownership and use evidence to improve the learning system over time.
Frequently asked questions
Questions to resolve before designing the programme.
The right learning response depends on the performance need, audience and delivery conditions rather than a standard course format.
Can you improve an existing course rather than start again?
Yes. We can review an existing curriculum, digital course, assessment or facilitator journey, identify where the experience is not supporting the intended performance, and focus the redesign on the parts that need to change.
How do you choose between digital, blended and in-person delivery?
The choice follows the learner context, access conditions, practice required and support available. Digital content can provide consistency and reach; live facilitation, peer exchange and coached practice are useful where interpretation, judgement or feedback matter.
How do you assess more than course completion?
We connect assessment to what people need to do. Depending on the mandate, that may include performance tasks, rubrics, work products, observation, feedback or evidence of application, supported by learning analytics where they are useful.
Can internal faculty or trainers take ownership?
Ownership can be designed into the engagement through facilitator resources, train-the-trainer support, shared delivery, communities of practice and clear routines for review. The aim is a learning system the organisation can continue and improve.
