HIVE NurseLearning Design Talk to us
Instructional design

We design the learning, not just the slides.

Whole programs, single courses, and everything in between — for complex, regulated work where people have to be able to do something differently afterwards, and somebody has to be able to prove they can.

Six minutes to sixteen weeks Filmed, scripted and produced in house Every lesson mapped to a competency Lands in the LMS you already run

What we make

Five practices, one team. Each page below opens the actual packages, running.

Courses A sixteen-week graduate course, running in its LMS Three of its seven modules are open. The video lessons play, the textbook and workbook open, every assignment carries points and an honest hours budget. Plus a 42-card feed course and a twelve-lesson SCORM package. Walk the course → Film, podcast & production We shoot it, cut it, and build the course around it Documentary with real practitioners, podcast production end to end, synthetic presenter video, and archive conversion — each one landing as a tracked, cited module rather than a video library. See the films →
Microlearning Six minutes, on a phone, that still counts Single-idea units with a branching case or a nurse to camera, cited evidence and a knowledge check — stacked into tracked, credit-bearing activities. Open two samples → Programs & curriculum The architecture, before anything gets built Gap evidence, outcomes, the competency map, the sequence — across one course or an entire program, in whatever framework your work answers to. See the method → Workshops Live, when the room is the point Virtual cohorts, on-site sessions, or a facilitator kit so your own people run it — designed with the same rigor as anything we package. See the formats →

Every lesson maps to a competency

Not the course — the lesson. Most libraries are tagged by topic, which tells you what a thing is about. We tag by sub-competency, which tells you what someone can do after it. That one change makes three questions answerable:

  • Which capabilities is this program actually covering?
  • Which ones has nobody touched all year?
  • Where should the next build go — and what can we retire?

The framework is yours, not ours. A national academic set, a certification blueprint, a regulator's requirements, or your own capability model.

A 17-minute conversation, chapter by chapter
0:19One level deeper than burnout10.1bManage conflict between personal and professional responsibilities
1:54Not PTSD, and not a bad day10.2aEngage in guided and spontaneous reflection of one's practice
2:43What it actually feels like10.1cContribute to an environment that promotes self-care, personal health and well-being
4:24Where it comes from: whose priorities win7.1aDescribe organizational structure, mission, vision, philosophy and values
5:15Calling the ethics team6.4aDemonstrate an awareness of one's biases and how they may affect mutual respect and communication with team members
All fifteen chapters are tagged this way — and it is one conversation, not a purpose-built course. Five minutes of it covers three domains.

Five moves, every time

Whether it is one card or a whole program. The subject changes and the framework changes; the discipline does not.

The method in full →
01Start from the performance gapNot what to cover — what people can't do yet, evidenced from your own data.
02Write one outcomeIn terms of changed behavior. Anything that doesn't serve it gets cut.
03Map it to the frameworkEvery objective tagged at sub-competency level, so coverage is reportable.
04Anchor every claimTo a primary source, dated in the build file, with a scheduled review.
05Evaluate for outcomeNot satisfaction. Structured answers that feed the next needs assessment.

On the subject matter. Our samples are healthcare, because that is where this practice has built most of its library. The architecture, the assessment design and the production pipeline are subject-agnostic. If your content is not clinical, none of it changes.

Let's talk

Tell us what your people can't do yet.

That is the whole first conversation. Bring the gap — an audit finding, an incident trend, a survey result, a course that is not landing — and we will tell you honestly whether learning is the right instrument.
