LX Services Guide

Our mission is to multiply the impact teachers make on the world.

We accomplish our mission by providing the Pathwright software platform along with supplemental Partner Services that help you build the best possible Learning Experience (LX) for your learners. Our LX services give you access to our own experienced LX designers and consultants who can come alongside your team to help you plan, design, and launch even the most complex and ambitious education projects.

This LX guide provides an overview of the services available to you. If you have any questions or would like to get a proposal for your project, please contact me at [email protected].

LX Services Overview

Our Learner Experience (LX) team is available to engage with your team at any level, from planning to build. For more information, visit us on our LX Design web page.

LX Planning

We'll help you explore the best ways to adapt existing content or create new content to shape a high quality learning experience that accomplish your education goals. While the amount time and new work creating during the planning phase varies widely based on the project size and planning already completed by your team, this phase may include:

  1. 1.Source Material Review: An in-depth review and organization of all of your teaching content.
  2. 2.Learner Profiles: A snapshot of the types of people you teach that shapes a baseline understanding of their learning aspirations, challenges, and contexts.
  3. 3.Blueprint: A guide that articulates the specific learning outcomes and delivery method for each course or a collection of courses.
  4. 4.Lesson Prototype: A digitized single lesson or session that incorporates your source material into the interactive path that we can test and iterate on to reach design pattern template we can follow.
  5. 5.LX Guidelines: A guide that anyone building learning paths for your organization can use and reference to keep all your learning experiences consistent and in design and in voice and tone.

LX Training

We’ll provide personalized training for your teachers and content authors to give them the confidence and independence to maximize their grow your learning initiative with the Pathwright from launch on. While every personalized package is unique, it typically includes:

  • Live training sessions: One-hour Course Design sessions for your content team that guide them through our full design process through a series of demonstrations and exercises. Sessions may be optionally recorded for review and sharing with other team members.
  • Personalized training course:A personalized version of our How to Design a Learning Path course that your team can take and review anytime, even after our training is over.

LX Design:

  • Review: We'll thoroughly review your existing teaching content to determine how to optimally segment and sequence it as well as identify any content gaps or questions.
  • Prototype: We'll design a prototype path design including rough-draft outlines for content for 1-2 lessons for your team to review. Based on your feedback, we'll adapt the prototype. The finished prototype will act as a design guideline for building out the remaining lessons.

LX Build:

  • Build: Based on the approved Prototype, we'll build out all remaining lessons and content to completion (but without the final polish.)
  • Final Review: We'll share the full draft course for your team's review and make any final changes or corrections based on your feedback.
  • Polish: Polish each step with brand-appropriate visuals. We'll either select from royalty free photos that would be brand appropriate for use or implement images that your design team provides. Note: Custom visual design is also available, but will be quoted separately.
  • Launch Prep: We'll draft your "About" page content that describes the course and inspires engagement and add the launch-ready course to your Pathwright account.

All LX Services Include:

  • Ownership. You'll own full rights to all the content we adapt or create, without any restrictions.
  • Blocks. All content created or adapted will use the new Blocks framework to enable more attractive, engaging content.
  • Editable. Your team will be able to edit/adapt all the content we build any time and won't be dependent on our team for updates.
  • Mobile Optimization. All content will be designed and adapted for learning on mobile devices.
  • Best Practices. We'll follow our LX best practices to the fullest extent possible given the project scope and source material.
  • Consistent Design. Content will be created and adapted consistently throughout the course.

LX Levels

How we plan & quote LX projects

These LX levels provide a framework for how we’ll help you launch your Learning Experience. These levels are designed to ensure you launch on time, on budget, and with an effective course.

Level 1: Transfer

A course transfer is a straightforward process in which our team of LX builders move your content efficiently into one our tested lesson design patterns. We’ll match the LX design and tone of your current materials (workbooks, handouts, questions, and videos). The price range per lesson depends on the complexity of the source material. For example:

  • Low complexity: An already-designed online course hosted on another platform
  • High complexity: PDF content, audio, and video that’s not already exported to an online or video friendly format (e.g., a DVD format).

Base fee: $400 per course

Fee Range: $100 - $500 per lesson


LX Level 2: Translate

The course translation process is a more hands-on experience. We’ll work with you to adapt or update your content to a new form. This might involve adding discussion questions or simple projects or simply reordering steps so that your material fits in the context of an online course. The price range per lesson depends on the complexity of the source material. For example:

  • Low complexity: Content with clearly defined segments, but simple projects and discussion questions need to be written or re-organized.
  • High complexity: Some content available, but material needs to be adapted for a whole new audience or delivery method. For instance, a course that’s formerly been self-paced needs to be turned into a learning experience that can be taught by another teacher.

Base fee: $1,000 per course

Fee Range: $500 - $1,000 per lesson

LX Level 3: Transform

A course transformation is our most involved process. We’ll reimagine your learning experience from the ground up, relying on existing content and asking what new material should be created. This process is ideal for someone who hasn’t yet fully developed the material for their online course or who is looking to reimagine their course for a brand new audience or learning environment. The price range per lesson depends on the complexity of the source material. For example:

  • Low complexity: A simple course designed to help learners memorize or comprehend basic material; course content may not yet be written, but the Pathwright team has easy access to experts for oversight and review.
  • High complexity: A course built around a book or a live seminar; no other content (discussion questions, project ideas, worksheets, videos) yet exit and must be created.

Base fee: $2,500 per course

Fee Range: $1,000 - $2,200+ per lesson
