Program Mapping

We use a data-driven, outcomes-focused approach to program mapping that ensures alignment with institutional goals and academic standards. Our team redesigns programs for online, blended, and in-person delivery using best practices and Quality Matters® benchmarks.

AI-powered analytics help us identify gaps, optimize structure, and ensure compliance with accrediting bodies like MSCHE, SACSCOC, ABET, WASC, HLC, AACSB, and CCNE.

Course Development

Guided by Universal Design for Learning (UDL), Quality Matters® standards, and AI-enhanced design tools, we ensure every course supports student success and reflects your institution’s identity.

Built directly in your LMS and refined through feedback, our courses combine pedagogical strength with modern design — delivering meaningful learning experiences that are scalable and future-ready.

Copy Editing

Our editorial team ensures your course content is clear, consistent, and professionally polished. We handle grammar, structure, and formatting, aligning materials with your preferred style guide — APA, MLA, AMA, or others.

With the support of AI-assisted editing tools and human expertise, we enhance clarity and flow while maintaining academic rigor.

Development and Migration

We redesign and optimize course content for platforms like Canvas, Blackboard, Moodle, D2L, edX, and Coursera.

Our expert learning designers ensure seamless migration, improved learner engagement, and pedagogically sound solutions — transforming outdated materials into interactive, outcome-driven experiences tailored to each institution’s goals and platform capabilities.

Hear the real stories from institutions who’ve transformed learning with our expert design, smart tech, and professional advice.

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.

Partnering with Symbiosis during a pivotal stage of online learning expansion allowed us to test new LMS course templates, redesign hundreds of courses to align with Quality Matters standards, and co-develop microcredentials focused on the future of work. Their team consistently honored faculty voice, institutional context, and learner needs. Symbiosis delivered practical, lasting solutions that elevated instructional quality and supported scalable, sustainable innovation.

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.
