eLearning courses, curriculum design, and professional development built for K–12 history and humanities educators.
We craft immersive, standards-aligned online courses and professional development programs for teachers and districts — built with Articulate Storyline and grounded in the American story.
Every module we create starts with the same question that drives great history education: Why does this matter? From primary source analysis to branching scenario activities, we design learning experiences that move students from passive observers to active historical thinkers.
From single-module eLearning builds to district-wide professional development, First Draft Learning delivers polished, pedagogically sound courses rooted in American history and the humanities.
Every course begins with your concept. We work with you to clarify goals and audience, then move through a structured process: storyboard development, iterative drafting, client feedback rounds, and rigorous testing before full launch. You're involved at every stage — nothing ships until it's right.
Curriculum design at First Draft Learning is a collaborative process shaped by your content, your students, and your standards. We bring expertise in scaffolded literacy support, inquiry-driven frameworks, and UbD design — then work closely with you to build something that fits your context, not a generic template.
We meet your team where they are — in person, over Zoom, or through ongoing virtual coaching. Sessions are built around your specific goals, whether that's Articulate Storyline training, curriculum mapping, or building educator capacity for digital and inquiry-based instruction.
We meet with your team to understand your students, grade levels, standards, existing materials, and goals — then define scope, timeline, and deliverables together.
Our curriculum specialists build your framework: essential questions, objectives, standards alignment, assessments, and a complete content outline before a single slide is built.
We develop in Articulate Storyline with two structured revision rounds built into the timeline. You see every milestone and approve before we move forward.
We package, deploy, and train your team — and remain available for post-launch support, iterative updates, and future modules as your needs grow.
Every project is led by a designer with a background in American history, social studies, or humanities education — not a generalist agency applying a template to your subject.
We build exclusively in Articulate Storyline 360, delivering production-quality SCORM/xAPI packages that work in Canvas, Schoology, Blackboard, or any other LMS.
Every course is aligned to the standards that matter to your context — whether that's NCSS national standards, your state's social studies or ELA frameworks, the C3 Framework, or a combination. We work with you to determine the right alignment from the start, and document it throughout.
You're a partner, not just a client. We share storyboards, prototypes, and drafts at every stage — nothing ships until you're confident it's right for your students.
"The Reconstruction unit First Draft built for us is unlike anything we've used before. Students are genuinely engaged, and our teachers finally have a digital tool that matches the rigor of our curriculum."
"The Storyline PD workshop was the best professional development I've attended in years. I left with a working module and the confidence to build more on my own. Completely practical."
"First Draft mapped our entire US History scope and sequence in six weeks. The UbD framework they used transformed how our whole department thinks about essential questions and backward design."
