Ell Harlander

I am a certified Instructional Designer who holds a Master's degree (Summa Cum Laude) in Adult Education. I have fourteen years’ experience as a freelancing instructional designer and a Learning and a Development Project Management Consultant, working for over 50 companies across various industries and learning platforms. Prior to workforce development, I worked as a researcher for public policy and economics authoring research reports and training manuals, largely for municipalities and the oil and gas industry. I bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise to learning and development initiatives, specializing in thorough training needs analysis, course research and development, and training and development evaluation. I bring a holistic approach to instructional design, due to my deep commitment to creating effective and inclusive learning experiences that cater to diverse learner needs such as neurodiversity and learning disabilities.

My unique blend of expertise in training needs analysis, adult learning principles, instructional design, training and development evaluation, neurodiversity, and learning disabilities makes me a valuable asset for organizations seeking to elevate their learning and development initiatives to meet the workforce needs of the 2020s.
