Competency-Based Education (CBE)

Online CBE programs focus on skill mastery rather than seat time. Students progress by demonstrating competencies through assessments, portfolios, or real-world tasks. Aligned with industry standards, this model ensures learners acquire job-ready skills at their own pace, making education more flexible, measurable, and directly linked to career success.

Experiential Learning

In online education, experiential learning allows students to apply concepts through virtual labs, simulations, case studies, and project-based tasks. These interactive experiences bridge theory and practice, encouraging experimentation and reflection. Learners gain real-world skills in a digital environment, making education more engaging, relevant, and directly applicable to their future careers.

Social Learning

Online courses foster social learning through discussion forums, peer reviews, live sessions, and collaborative tools. These platforms encourage students to share ideas, ask questions, and learn from one another. By building a sense of community, learners stay motivated, develop communication skills, and form lasting connections beyond the virtual classroom.

Collaborative Learning

Collaborative learning in online education involves group projects, breakout rooms, and shared digital workspaces. Students work together across time zones and cultures, enhancing teamwork and problem-solving skills. This approach promotes deeper understanding through dialogue and cooperation, preparing learners for collaborative work environments in a globalized, digital-first world.

Adaptive Learning

Adaptive learning uses AI and data analytics to personalize content delivery. Learners follow non-linear paths tailored to their pace, strengths, and learning styles. This ensures targeted support, timely feedback, and mastery of concepts, making education more inclusive, efficient, and aligned with individual goals.

Entire Program

We design full in-person, blended, and online programs that combine strong pedagogy, engaging content, and effective design.

Short Courses

Short courses are built with the same rigor as full programs, aligned to your learning objectives and expected outcomes.

Microlearning

We create concise, outcome-driven content with faculty collaboration, offering high-impact learning in short, scalable formats for modern learners.

Model Courses

Model courses are developed through close collaboration between our instructional designers and a lead faculty member, with final approval from the department. These courses serve as a standardized, reusable template for future offerings of the same class. Designed to ensure consistency and quality, model courses streamline the teaching process while maintaining alignment with institutional goals. Once built, they can be reused across semesters and instructors, saving time and effort while preserving academic integrity.

  • Ensures consistency across course sections
  • Aligns with institutional standards and learning outcomes
  • Enables comparison of student outcomes across formats
  • Reduces instructor workload on design tasks
  • Allows limited customization for teaching style

Consensus Courses

Consensus courses are created through collaboration with multiple faculty members and stakeholders to meet shared instructional goals. These courses are designed for use by several instructors, ensuring consistency while allowing for flexibility. The collaborative development process fosters buy-in and ensures the course reflects diverse perspectives and long-term departmental needs. Consensus courses are ideal for programs seeking scalable, sustainable course models that maintain academic rigor and instructional quality.

  • Encourages collaboration among faculty
  • Supports long-term departmental goals
  • Reduces time spent on course creation
  • Allows for instructor customization 
  • Promotes consistency across multiple sections

Custom Courses

Custom courses are custom-built for individual faculty members, tailored to their teaching style and instructional needs. These courses serve as a framework that can be shared with other instructors, who can then personalize the content and activities. Custom courses offer flexibility while maintaining a consistent structure, making them ideal for institutions that want to support faculty autonomy while ensuring quality and coherence across sections.

  • Provides a shareable course framework
  • Enables faculty to personalize content
  • Reduces time spent on course design 
  • Supports individual teaching preferences
  • Maintains consistency across course offerings

This investment is allowing us to grow in ways we had not envisioned. To date, we’ve already generated 110 new MPS students online, while simultaneously increasing in-class enrollments in the same program. Symbiosis has been a tremendous value for the College — and it has brought significant added value to our faculty. Its team knows where the challenges are and, more importantly, how to address them.

Symbiosis Educational Consultants were our partners for a major multi-year online instructional design project of scores of courses across three colleges and multiple schools at Spalding University. The project was not only broad but deep. Joe Thomas (of Symbiosis) and his team of leaders and expert instructional designers guided our faculty in online course development, project management, creativity of design, and completion. The work Symbiosis did for us literally transformed our entire online learning operation at Spalding in graduate, undergraduate, and online education. Since working with them, we've grown our online footprint: more online programs, courses, and faculty confidence. I can't recommend Symbiosis enough. They were professional, understanding, and a real pleasure to work with.
