Explora partners with educational institutions, corporations, governments, and creative industry organizations to design learning programs, advise on strategy, and produce the media that brings it all to life, drawing on a practice rooted in both education and experience since 2007.
Explora was built on two decades of entrepreneurship across technology industries, from a media production studio to co-founding companies in marketing automation, edtech, and digital operations. That entrepreneurial range is part of how we think: practical, cross-sector, and comfortable with complexity.
But the passion for education has always been present, and when it became our main focus, we didn't leave that experience behind, we brought it into the classroom, the advisory room, and every program we build. Strategy, literacy, and creative craft have always been in the room together.

A.K.AI Development of Interactive Experiences
AI and learning strategy advisory, requirements analysis, best practices, and roadmaps for organizations navigating change.
Courses, certificates, seminars, and workshops, developed and delivered for institutions, corporations, and professional associations.
Full-service media production for learning, video, animation, scientific visualization, motion graphics, and immersive environments.
Practical tools we build for our own work, assessment frameworks, AI instruments, and interactive resources available to our community.
We begin by understanding your organization, audience, and goals, identifying the gaps between where you are and where you need to be.
We develop the learning strategy and program architecture, content structure, delivery format, media requirements, and timeline, together with your team.
We build the program, writing, designing, filming, animating, and assembling everything needed to deliver a high-quality learning experience.
We support rollout, train your facilitators or administrators, and stay engaged to ensure the program achieves its intended impact over time.
Often, organizations that have attended our seminars or enrolled their teams in our programs come back with a bigger ask, someone to help them think through requirements, identify best practices, and chart a realistic path forward. That's the advisory relationship we're built for.
From unions navigating AI's impact on creative work, to corporations building their first learning initiatives, to institutions rethinking how they upskill their teams, we bring the perspective of practitioners who have been at the intersection of education, technology, and media for decades.
We embed alongside your team and subject-matter experts to plan, develop, and publish complete learning initiatives, one course or an entire certificate program.
Share your vision, we take full ownership. We source the experts, conduct research, and develop the complete program on your behalf.
We develop our own courses in areas of deep expertise and offer them to institutional and corporate partners to expand their learning portfolio.
When you already have your program planned, we step in to produce all supporting media and design the full course experience, video, animation, graphics, and interactive tools.
We work with educational institutions, corporations, government agencies, and non-profits, delivering everything from keynotes and executive briefings to multi-session workshops and full certificate programs.
Before we were educators, we were producers. Our studios craft the media that powers learning programs, and take on independent creative projects that push the boundaries of what immersive, AI-assisted production can do.
Instructional, documentary, and explainer video crafted to hold attention and make complex ideas clear and memorable.
2D and 3D animation, motion tracking, and kinetic graphics that bring abstract concepts and data to life.
Rigorous, high-fidelity visual representations of scientific and technical processes, built for learning, not just aesthetics.
Real-time 3D spaces, virtual walkthroughs, and simulation-based learning environments using Unreal Engine and Twinmotion.
Course visual identity, instructional graphics, infographics, and all supporting design materials for learning programs.
Beyond client work, our studio team pursues original creative projects that push the boundaries of educational media.
The Lab is where we build the instruments we actually need. Every tool started as a response to a real challenge, ours or a client's, then refined through use until it was worth sharing.
These are not off-the-shelf products. They are practitioner tools, assessment frameworks, planning aids, AI literacy resources, and interactive guides built for the realities of professionals navigating continuous change. Our newest work explores bridging motion capture data with generative AI pipelines, opening new creative possibilities for film, theatre, and media production.
Practical, industry-relevant programs designed for working professionals, developed and taught by the Explora team in partnership with UBC.
