Mstudio is the first french speaking VC startup studio based in Abidjan, Cote d'ivoire. Lead by Leslie Ossete and Cedric Mangaud. They launched Lonya, an innovative e-learning platform and marketplace. I met the CEO of Lonya, working on the MVP phase in order to kick-off this e-learning startup. By the time, they were in the go to market / seeding phase.

The problem
Lonya, a startup in Ivory Coast, sought to develop a robust instructional design framework to guide the creation of their first Minimum Viable Product (MVP) training content. The challenge was to outline a comprehensive roadmap and assurance checklist while incorporating key design steps, video scripting techniques, and instructional design principles.
The solution
I led the development of an Instructional Design Evaluation Framework tailored specifically for Lonya's e-learning initiative. This framework aimed to provide a clear roadmap and methodology for designing effective training content, ensuring alignment with strategic objectives and investor readiness.
My process
To create the Instructional Design Evaluation Framework, I followed a structured approach:
-
Research and Analysis: Conducted in-depth research on instructional design best practices, analyzing Lonya's objectives and learner profiles to inform the framework's development.
-
Content Mapping and Action Plan: Mapped out key design steps, from needs analysis to content development and evaluation. Created a detailed action plan outlining specific tasks and timelines for each phase.
-
Visual Mockups and Prototyping: Developed visual mockups and prototypes to illustrate the envisioned training content format, including sample video scripts and interactive elements.
​
Action Map
The action map outlined the following key steps within the Instructional Design Evaluation Framework:
​
Needs Analysis: Understanding learner profiles, goals, and organizational objectives.
Content Design: Mapping out learning objectives, topics, and instructional strategies in collaboration with the Lonya CEO that granted the drafted learning content via canva.
Development: Creating MVP training roadmap and evaluation framework based on design principles and scripting guidelines.
Quality Assurance: Implementing checks and revisions to ensure content effectiveness and alignment with the framework.
Storyboard and prototype
​
​
As the client had budget constraint, they developed content based on feedback and avisory calls we had about proper content development, using canva.
Final form development
At this point, I had designed the whole framework with 3 evaluation levels : from instructional key steps and quality insurance checklist, video script methods to framework harmonization depending on needs. Here are some extracts:
​
Takeaways
​
-
Strategic Roadmap: The framework provided a step-by-step roadmap for developing and deploying the MVP training content, essential for securing investor support and scaling the e-learning pilot.
-
Design Assurance Checklist: Quality assurance guidelines ensured the training content met industry standards and learner needs.
