Our Services

Thank you for your interest in contacting STORYLOON. Let’s talk about your project!

Course Consultation

This first stage is what we call the “Let’s talk about it” stage. The steps to follow are pretty simple: you schedule an appointment, and there is a list of questions to be addressed so we get to know you and your needs. Our service at this stage is to address the needs of educators who are seeking feedback or reviews for what they already have structurally and content-wise. We find out what your goals are and offer our knowledge. At this stage, you may also decide to take us up on all our other services as well if our techniques and strategies align with your vision.

Curriculum

Curriculum development is where we engage and empower the educator. At STORYLOON, our approach to planning and organizing learning experiences puts the educator at the center. Our Curriculum service supports educators in achieving teaching and learning outcomes aligned with their unique vision. We collaborate to plan, evaluate, and refine curricula, course content, materials, and instructional methods. We call this stage the “Let’s Create This Thing” phase — a time to learn from the educator and explore theirideas. The goal is to design engaging course materials and delivery methods. Clear learning goals, objectives, activities, and strategies are all thoughtfully tailored to the educator’s desired outcomes.

Online Course Building

As we mentioned before, our mission is rooted in empowering educators. Our online course-building service showcases our innovative approach to creating engaging educational materials. This is the stage where we say, “We got this.” Here, we do the heavy lifting—strengthening our relationship with you as a client by earning your trust to build a structure that enhances your content and fulfills your vision. Value alignment is essential at this stage because meaningful and impactful storytelling is one of our core strengths. We put this to the test by carefully organizing content, designing interactive and multimedia elements, and focusing on your learners’ experience. Our goal is to help you foster truly meaningful learning.

Education Video Creation

Video content creation can be a phenomenal opportunity to promote all three. Captivating learners includes being able to create videos that assist both the educator and the learner in collaborating with each other. We assist educators in creating content they need that aligns with their educational outcomes as well as the vision they had for the course. Innovative and impactful storytelling done through video content creation can leave an indelible mark on learners and ultimately on the educator’s purpose.

Collaborative Workshops And Trainings

At STORYLOON, we recognize that adult learners thrive through varied instructional methods. Our Collaborative Workshops and Trainings service offers two distinct forms of partnership. First, we work closely with you to transform your written materials or interview insights into a polished, engaging presentation that you can confidently deliver-ideal for single or multiple sessions.

Second, we collaborate with you as a subject matter expert to co-develop and deliver workshops for other organizations, providing the platform, logistics, and support necessary for successful execution. This twofold approach ensures both your content and expertise are showcased effectively, creating impactful learning experiences tailored to diverse adult learning preferences.
