What are the main features of Maia Atelier?

Instructional design tailored to each context
Maia Atelier designs customized training programs based on a detailed analysis of learners' needs, organizational goals, and pedagogical challenges. The learning design process is collaborative and adapted to each project’s specific constraints—be it digital transformation, regulatory updates, or professional upskilling.

• Definition of learning objectives aligned with business or educational goals

• Design of complete educational pathways with sequences, formats, and activities

• Use of active pedagogies such as problem-based learning and flipped classrooms

• Co-construction workshops with stakeholders to ensure alignment and engagement

This is particularly useful for training organizations looking to transition to blended learning or rework outdated content into more engaging formats.

Support for hybrid, digital, and in-person formats
Maia supports the creation of courses across all modalities, adapting the format and structure to the learners' environment and preferences. This includes asynchronous e-learning modules, synchronous virtual classrooms, and face-to-face workshops.

• Storyboarding and scripting for e-learning modules

• Integration of tools like Moodle, Rise, or video platforms

• Training educators and trainers to facilitate new formats

• Adapting content for accessibility and inclusivity

For example, a university may seek help building hybrid courses for continuing education programs. Maia can ensure the pedagogical design supports learner autonomy while maintaining cohesion and engagement.

Project facilitation and change support
Beyond design, Maia helps clients manage the transformation of their educational offers. This includes project scoping, facilitation, and support for internal teams adopting new learning models or technologies.

• Design thinking workshops to explore learning needs and generate ideas

• Project framing and timeline management

• Coaching of internal teams to build instructional capacity
