A second opinion
from a senior
instructional designer.
Expert Review is for L&D practitioners and in-house instructional designers who are running the work themselves — but want the quality check that comes from having a senior reviewer in the room.
Whether you're using the KEA platform independently or working outside it, submit your work and get it back with structured, evidence-based feedback. Your deliverable stays yours — we just help you make it sharper.
You're running KEA independently
Using the platform and want expert eyes before committing to the next phase
You're in-house without a senior ID
Solo on your L&D team or junior ID looking for senior-level review
You're presenting to stakeholders soon
Want to walk in with confidence that your work holds up
You want managed-quality, independently
Own the work, but benchmark it against professional standards
Three steps. No mystery.
The review process is intentionally simple. Submit, get structured feedback, optionally debrief. Your deliverable, your revisions, your timeline — we just make sure what you're building holds up to evidence-based scrutiny.
Submit your work
Send the deliverable you want reviewed — document, storyboard, slide deck, eLearning file, video script, or platform output. Any format, any phase.
Include context: who the learners are, what the objective is, and what you're uncertain about. The more context, the sharper the feedback.
Receive your review
We review your submission against evidence-based ID principles — cognitive load, learning objective quality, assessment alignment, UDL, and more.
You get direct markups where possible, or a detailed written feedback report. Every comment is clear, specific, and actionable — with a why behind it.
Debrief together
If you want to talk through the feedback live, a debrief call is available. We go through key points together so nothing gets lost in translation.
Particularly useful when the feedback involves restructuring, modality changes, or conversations you'll need to have with stakeholders.
What gets
reviewed.
Any deliverable from any phase of the instructional design process. The review is scoped to the artifact you submit — if you want multiple phases reviewed, each counts as its own review.

What the feedback covers.
Every review is structured against the same evidence-based frameworks that inform the KEA methodology. You get a consistent, defensible lens applied to your work — not subjective opinion.
Learning objective quality
Measurable, performance-based, Mager-compliant — and actually aligned to the identified gap.
Cognitive load management
Chunking, sequencing, and worked example design — is the content set up for retention or overload?
Assessment alignment
Are you measuring what the objectives actually claim to teach? Where assessments miss, we flag it.
Modality fit
Is the format serving the learner or the producer? Modality decisions grounded in context, not convenience.
Accessibility & UDL
Multiple means of representation, action, and engagement — built in, not retrofitted.
Motivation & engagement
SDT-informed: autonomy, competence, relatedness. Designed in, or bolted on at the end?
One review.
One price range.
Pricing varies by the complexity of what you submit — a short job aid is not the same work as a multi-module storyboard. After you describe what you'd like reviewed, you'll get a specific quote and agreed turnaround before the review begins.
