About Digital Hindsight
-
Digital Hindsight specialises in custom eLearning development for organisations that need engaging, practical and professionally designed online training.
We design and build learning experiences tailored to your audience, objectives and operating environment. This includes instructional design, storyboarding, visual design, multimedia production and technical development.
Our focus is custom eLearning for organisations rather than off‑the‑shelf courseware.
-
Digital Hindsight has been operating for over 10 years.
We are based in Australia and work with organisations across Australia and internationally.
Our founders each have more than 18 years of experience in the digital learning industry, working across strategy, production, development and project leadership roles.
We have delivered projects for organisations across sectors including construction, financial services, mining, health, higher education, infrastructure and government.
-
Yes.
We provide end‑to‑end eLearning services, from initial discovery and learning strategy through to instructional design, development, multimedia production and final delivery.
You can engage us for a full project or for specific components, but many clients value having a single experienced team managing the entire process.
-
We work across a wide range of industries and are not limited to a specific sector.
Our experience includes projects in construction, financial services, mining, health, higher education, infrastructure and government.
Strong instructional design principles apply across industries. We adapt our approach to suit your content, organisational culture and learner needs.
Process, Scope & Collaboration
-
Our process typically includes:
Discovery and clarification of objectives
Content review and analysis
Instructional design and storyboard development
Visual design and media production
Build and technical development
Review rounds and refinements
Final delivery and SCORM packaging
We use structured milestones so expectations, timelines and approvals are clear at each stage.
-
Client involvement is important, particularly during the early stages.
You’ll typically be involved in clarifying objectives, reviewing the storyboard, and providing feedback during development milestones.
Clear and timely feedback helps keep the project moving efficiently. We manage the production process, but collaboration ensures accuracy and alignment.
-
We work closely with subject matter experts (SMEs) to extract knowledge, clarify positioning and validate accuracy.
This may involve workshops, structured interviews or guided content reviews.
Our role is to translate expert knowledge into clear, structured learning experiences. SMEs provide expertise; we shape it into effective training.
-
At a minimum, we need:
A clear objective or problem the training is solving
Access to any existing materials
Availability of key stakeholders or SMEs
The more clarity available at the start, the smoother and faster the project will progress.
-
All projects involve learning design. The difference is how much shaping is required.
If content is clear, structured and aligned to defined objectives, storyboard development is more efficient.
If materials are draft, workshop‑based or evolving, additional learning design time may be required to structure, refine and clarify the content with SMEs.
We can work with content at any stage. The level of refinement required influences scope, timeline and effort.
-
Timelines depend on complexity, length, media production requirements and review cycles.
As a general guide, a standard custom module may take several weeks from discovery to final delivery. More complex or highly interactive courses may require additional time.
Clear objectives, defined content and timely feedback help maintain efficient timelines.
Strategy & Capability
-
Yes. Instructional design is central to what we do.
We do not simply convert content into slides. We analyse objectives, structure learning pathways, design interactions and ensure the course supports meaningful outcomes.
Development brings the experience to life, but learning design shapes its effectiveness.
-
Off‑the‑shelf courses are pre‑built and designed for general audiences.
Custom eLearning is tailored to your organisation, your policies, your systems and your learners.
Custom development allows for specific scenarios, branding alignment, relevant examples and targeted messaging that reflects your environment.
Technical & Delivery
-
Our preferred tools are Articulate Storyline and Rise from the Articulate 360 suite. These industry‑standard platforms allow us to create interactive, media‑rich modules that integrate reliably with most Learning Management Systems.
If a client already uses a different authoring platform, such as Adobe Captivate, we can also develop within that environment so the module fits smoothly into your existing systems and workflows.
Authoring tools are only part of the production process. We also use a range of specialist tools for graphics, animation and video production to support richer learning experiences.
-
We develop modules to standard formats such as SCORM or xAPI, which are compatible with most modern Learning Management Systems.
If needed, we can align packaging specifications to suit your LMS requirements. We aim to understand these requirements at the start of the project so we can plan and package the module correctly from the outset.
-
We develop and deliver eLearning modules, but we do not host them.
Our modules are designed to be uploaded into your organisation’s Learning Management System (LMS), where learners access the training and reporting is managed.
If you do not currently have an LMS, we can recommend suitable platforms based on your needs.
-
Reporting depends on your LMS configuration.
Typically, SCORM or xAPI packages can report completion status, quiz results, pass/fail outcomes, progress and interaction data supported by your LMS.
Your LMS manages the reporting environment; we ensure the module is packaged correctly for it.
-
Yes.
As standard, we provide source files so your team can make future updates internally, provided you have the relevant authoring software. Not all vendors provide source files as part of a project as we do, and in many cases they are treated as a separately scoped deliverable.
We’re also happy to build a long-term relationship and support you with updates as your training needs change over time.
-
We use advanced AI tools to enhance aspects of media production and creative development.
AI supports tasks such as generating visual assets, video elements and production efficiencies.
All modules are designed and guided by experienced learning designers. AI is used as a tool within our workflow, not as an automated replacement for instructional expertise.
Pricing
-
Cost varies depending on scope, complexity, level of interactivity, media production requirements and the amount of learning design required.
To give you a rough idea, we provide an online eLearning module estimate tool on our website that can help you explore indicative pricing ranges based on typical project variables.
This tool provides an estimate only. For an accurate quote we are happy to review your requirements and provide a tailored proposal based on your specific objectives, content and project scope.
-
Key factors include:
Length and depth of content
Level of interactivity and scenario design
Media production requirements
Content clarity and refinement needed
Number of review cycles
Clearer scope at the outset enables more precise costing.
