What the edit looks for
For this format, editorial attention often centers on learning sequence, explanations, instructions, examples, terminology, and consistency between activities and supporting text. The exact scope depends on the stage of the draft and the work already completed.
We distinguish a clear editorial correction from a decision that belongs to the author or project owner. Questions about meaning, facts, or commitments are raised rather than silently resolved.
Choose the right stage
Start by checking what learners need to understand before each new idea. Language editing follows that sequence; subject accuracy and assessment validity remain with the appropriate specialists.
An agreed brief identifies the deliverables, review surface, file format, schedule, and revision arrangements. Specialist checking and additional production tasks should be named explicitly.
What to bring
Prepare the material, learner profile, assumed prior knowledge, learning objectives, and the subject specialist’s review arrangements. Tell us which parts are still changing and who will approve the final version.
For an initial inquiry, send a summary rather than sensitive source material. We can agree on document sharing after discussing the project.
A useful check before you start
Try following each instruction literally. Identify unstated prerequisites, ambiguous verbs, and examples that require knowledge the material has not yet introduced.
After the edit
Allow time to review tracked changes and respond to questions. If you add substantial new material or move the text into a different layout, plan a final check of the resulting version.
