Frequently Asked Questions About Instructional Design
How much does instructional design consulting cost?
Instructional designers charge $75-$200 per hour, with eLearning development ranging from $10,000-$50,000 per hour of finished content. Simple courses cost less, while complex simulations or video-based training cost more.
How long does it take to develop an eLearning course?
Development typically takes 40-200 hours per hour of eLearning content. A 1-hour basic course takes 6-8 weeks, while complex interactive courses can take 3-4 months. Rush delivery is possible with higher costs.
What's the difference between instructional design and content writing?
Instructional designers apply learning science to create experiences that change behavior and build skills. They design assessments, interactions, and learning paths. Content writers focus on clear communication without necessarily applying learning methodologies.
What tools do instructional designers use?
Common tools include Articulate 360, Adobe Captivate, Camtasia, Vyond for development; Miro and Figma for storyboarding; and various LMS platforms for deployment. Most consultants are proficient in multiple tools.
Should I hire a freelance instructional designer or an agency?
Freelancers are ideal for specific courses, smaller budgets, and when you need specialized expertise. Agencies work better for large-scale initiatives, tight deadlines requiring multiple resources, or when you need diverse skill sets.
