I design, build, and operationalise digital learning — from instructional design and course production to AI-assisted workflows and learning-technology rollouts.

What I do

Capabilities

Learning experience design & production

From storyboard to finished course — I take learning content from concept to live module using LMS platforms and authoring tools, and AI-assisted production methods where they add value.

AI-assisted learning workflows

Designing and building workflows that use AI and automation to make learning production faster and more consistent — without losing the human judgment that quality depends on.

About

A short introduction

I'm Aida Carlon — a Learning Experience Designer and Learning Technologist with over six years in digital learning. I've worked across EdTech, start-ups, international organisations, and higher education, combining instructional design, learning technology, multimedia production, and AI-assisted workflows.

My recent work sits at the intersection of learning operations and AI: building Canvas LMS programmes, rolling out AI tools, and designing AI-assisted production workflows. Alongside this, I consult on instructional design for international organisations, including WIPO Academy.

I'm Australian, based in Italy, working fully remote with teams across time zones.

Aida is a highly conscientious, detail-oriented, and efficient specialist in learning technology. Her expertise in building courses on the Canvas LMS was invaluable; I could always rely on her to make well-informed recommendations on its functionality and to troubleshoot any issues that arose swiftly and effectively.

The lack of errors, tech bugs, and post-launch issues after every module and course launch says a lot about Aida’s skills, follow-through, and quality. Her ability to find and communicate effective solutions is commendable, and her expertise significantly enhances the team’s productivity and success.
