Instructional Designer Cover Letter Template

Dear Hiring Manager, I recently led a redesign of a blended learning program, where I mapped learning objectives to assessments and aligned multimedia assets for better learner engagement. In a project spanning five courses, we tracked completion rates rising by 18% after introducing microlearning and short knowledge checks. I’m comfortable working with subject matter experts to translate complex ideas into practical, outcomes-focused modules for different audiences. My approach centres on clear objectives, practical assessments, and accessible content. I’ve used ADDIE and backwards design to scope courses, define success criteria, and build rubrics that reflect real-world tasks. I’m interested in [Company Name] because you value practical, learner-first design and I’ve seen how strong framing of outcomes can shorten time to competence across teams. One memorable moment involved collaborating with a product trainer to convert a dense policy brief into a 4-hour, scenario-based course. We defined three core objectives, created performance tasks that mirrored daily work, and produced short videos paired with interactive simulations. The result was a significant lift in assessment pass rates and a smoother onboarding journey for new hires at [Previous Company]. I’m open to a discussion about how my background in course design, objective setting, assessment development, and multimedia production can support [Company Name]. I can be available for a chat next week to share details and hear more about your priorities. Kind regards, [Your Name]
