A studio of e-learning specialists

Jay founded Nuvi Learn and leads the studio. Before that he built Nimbu Creative, a website and application design studio, and he brings a background in cybersecurity. Both show in how the studio works: interfaces that are clean and easy to use, packages that are built properly and tested, and client content handled securely from first draft to handover. On every programme he is accountable for quality and delivery, and the person clients escalate to.

Billie leads the design of everything the studio makes: the outcomes, the structure, the activities and the assessments, and the review process that keeps them honest. She began her career in primary education and spent fifteen years in a range of roles at the Department of Education before moving into e-learning. She holds a bachelor’s degree in early learning. Her focus is making learning accessible to everyone, through technology and well-judged learning design.

Sam runs the programmes at Nuvi Learn: the plan, the review log, every submission and every handover. She is the client’s day-to-day contact, the person who knows where each module is, what is waiting on whom, and what is due next week. Her background is in coordination at scale, seventeen years keeping busy hospital departments running, where a missed booking has real consequences, so she brings a calm, exact approach to schedules, records and confidential information. She holds a BA (Hons) in Business Administration and a Level 3 qualification in medical terminology, which is useful when the subject is health.

Ria builds the courses: storyboards into working modules, branching scenarios, examination items, and the testing that proves a package works before a client sees it. She is studying psychology and brings a behavioural science view to the studio’s work, in particular how people decide under pressure and what changes what they do, which is where branching scenarios earn their place.

Adrian comes to Nuvi Learn from Nimbu Creative, the website and application design studio in the Nimbu Global group, where he worked on client websites and applications from first build through to launch. Shipping a product that has to work in every browser, on every device and for every user is the same discipline a course needs before it reaches a client, and that is what Adrian brings. He is the last check before a course leaves the studio. He tests every module against the client’s specification, against WCAG 2.2 AA with a screen reader and keyboard, and in the LMS it will run in, so completion, scoring and resume work before the client sees it. He reads every screen and every assessment item for plain English, with second-language learners in mind, and he runs the review log through each round of client feedback so that every fix has landed before a course is resubmitted.
