About Me

I’m Paul Alders, a freelance e-learning developer and instructional designer based in the Netherlands, working with clients across the globe. I help organizations design and build effective, engaging digital learning using tools like Articulate Storyline and Rise.

With over 15 years of experience, I focus on clarity, creativity, and real-world results.

My Journey

My journey into digital learning started in 2009, working as a teacher in vocational education, when I realized how powerful well-designed learning experiences could be. Since then, I’ve worked with clients across industries — including healthcare, education, and internationally operating organizations — creating courses that not only inform, but engage.

I believe in starting with the real problem and designing solutions that are simple, human, and effective. I’m proud to be recognized as an Articulate Super Hero, and I actively share and support others in the E-Learning Heroes community.

Customers across the globe

Working with customers across the globe has taught me a lot about different cultures — not just in how people learn, but in how they communicate, collaborate, and connect. It’s made me more open-minded, more flexible, and ultimately, a better team player.

That global perspective doesn’t stop when I log off. It finds its way into my kitchen — my favorite room in the house. It’s where I cook for family and friends, experiment with new flavors, and bring people together. A place where good stories are told, laughter is shared, and there’s always a seat at the table — often with a glass of wine 😉

Marieke Bax, Group Ethics & Compliance Officer bij SHV Energy

My company engaged eyespirations to build an interactive e-learning solution. Paul from eyespirations exceeded my expectations by providing above and beyond service. We had an internal miscommunication which caused rework, however Paul was very understanding and offered to help fix the problem. He made it a priority and the fast turnaround was greatly appreciated. His reliability and responsiveness demonstrated that he has his client needs at heart. This is a great service provider always focusing on delivering quality products and keeping customers happy. It’s with pleasure that I recommend eyespirations (Paul) to other peers/companies looking for interactive e-learning solutions.

Elisa Lin, Strategic Services Consultant at Kaiser Permanente

Working with Paul with the purpose of improving the well-being of children around the world has been both productive in terms of outcomes and pleasant during the process. He understood that consultation processes were important as well as field testing of produced materials, despite it made the cooperation complicated for him. He understands quickly what is desired and is capable to take over the vocabulary used by clients. I would for sure recommend him.

The online version of the PtDA was developed together with the e-learning company EyeSpirations. Dear Paul, thank you for your endless patience with all the adjustments and changes to the decision aid, thanks to your efforts we have developed a wonderful tool.

Paul was recommended to me by a colleague for the development of a patient decision aid tool, and I certainly did not regret working together! Paul is very professional, has good insights and above all he makes time for you and the project. Even after finishing the project, he helped me out with designing a poster for a conference. I am very happy and proud of the end result! I would definitely recommend working with Paul. Thanks for pleasant cooperation and the beautiful decision aid.
