Creating effective learning experiences is not a job for a novice, although many novices are thrown into the role of instructional designer/developer. If beginners turn to the field’s expansive literature, which ranges from cookbook-style guides and blogs to scientific research, they are easily overwhelmed and typically turn to overly simplistic approaches. But even experienced professionals can come to feel they’re never able to do the job that should be done.
In this session, you will learn how to create effective instructional experiences without oversimplifying them. You will come away from this session with six successful strategies that are responsive to research and best practices, simplifying the overall task while addressing the fundamentals needed for highly effective instruction.
In this session, you will learn:
- How to continually evaluate designs as they come together
- How to avoid excessive content presentation as a means to achieve greater content mastery
- How to challenge awareness goals
- How to design backwards (it’s faster, easier, and better)
