At Guroo Learning, we want to help organisations and learners reach their full potential through learning. We combine our learning design expertise with our transformative technology products to create learning solutions that drive real behaviour change.
Join our Learning Design Graduate Program to start your career in learning design with a structured 12-month program which will give you experience in scoping, designing, and developing learning for a wide range of organisations and learners.
Learning design, sometimes called instructional design, is the practice of designing, developing and delivering learning experiences. These learning experiences can include face-to-face or virtual learning, eLearning, coaching, practice, on-the-job learning and a great learning program is often a combination of a number of different learning modes.
Learning designers work inside many organisations, such as schools, universities, and corporations, or they can work in companies like Guroo Producer, who specialise in creating learning for other organisations.
At Guroo Producer, we design learning for universities, including undergraduate and postgraduate subjects, microcredentials and executive education programs. We work with corporate clients, to understand what they need for their learners and their organisation, and then translate this into engaging adaptive learning that is learner-focused and helps organisations meet their desired outcomes.
Guroo Learning was founded in 2016, and since then we’ve grown from a team of three to a team of over twenty. We have a passionate team of technical experts focused on our suite of software products, and our learning solutions team who work together to create transformative programs for our customers and their learners.
Our learning designers come from all different degree and career backgrounds, including teaching, arts, communications, journalism, business and IT.
The Guroo Pro Authoring tool is the foundation of all the learning we create, and our learning designers use it every day. Built with adaptive learning in mind, it is easy to create eLearning that is engaging and consistent across organisations. To support our customers, we have the Learning Canvas, a scoping tool to ensure that their learning focuses on solving the right problems.
In 2020, we launched Academy, a next-generation learning platform that transfers learning into performance outcomes. With a focus on work-integration, action learning and coaching, Academy is the next step for all organisations to achieve workplace change through learning.
We've just launched our new product, Analytics, which will help our customers get data and insights from every level of their learning, giving them the information that they need to support their learners and make the right decisions for their business.
We partner with our customers in a few ways – from providing customer support for those who are using our software products themselves, to designing and developing learning programs that are complete and ready for our customers to provide to their learners.
