When designing and developing an eLearning course, it’s easy to fill it with a bunch of nice-to-know information and other fun facts. But the truth is, knowledge and performance aren’t mutually exclusive—delivering your learners an information-dump eLearning course isn’t going to help them do their jobs better. In fact, it’s more likely to put them to sleep!

With my hands-on, Instructional Design for eLearning workshops, you’ll learn everything you need to know to start building eLearning content that delivers results.

When designing and developing an eLearning course, it’s easy to fill it with a bunch of nice-to-know information and other fun facts. But the truth is, knowledge and performance aren’t mutually exclusive—delivering your learners an information-dump eLearning course isn’t going to help them do their jobs better. In fact, it’s more likely to put them to sleep!

In this one-day, hands-on Instructional Design for eLearning workshop, you’ll explore how to apply solid instructional design techniques to create eLearning that delivers results. Starting with an overview of adult learning theory, you’ll discover how Knowles’ Principles of Andragogy and Merrill’s Principles of Instruction apply when creating eLearning content for adult learners.

From there, you’ll explore the eLearning design and development process, starting with how to conduct a learning needs analysis to determine whether or not eLearning is the right solution. You’ll then explore how to design a blended learning by creating a design document and how to collect and organize your eLearning content into a storyboard. Finally, you’ll discover how to design performance-based eLearning interactions and activities.

In this two-day, hands-on Instructional Design for eLearning workshop, you will explore all of the topics covered in the One-Day Instructional Design for eLearning workshop + the additional content outlined below.

After you’ve learned the basics of the eLearning design and development process, with an overview of adult learning theory and how to organize your learning content into an eLearning storyboard, you’ll continue learning strategies for how to design and develop your eLearning course. Starting with an exploration of the different ways you can present your learning content, you’ll explore strategies for reducing cognitive load. From there, you’ll learn how to develop a prototype of your eLearning course and how to create an implementation plan for deploying your eLearning course. Finally, you’ll learn how to measure the effectiveness of your eLearning course by applying Kirkpatrick’s Four Levels of Evaluation.

TWO-DAY

A D V A N C E DWORKSHOP

Day One:

• Apply adult learning theory in the creation of eLearning content.

• Conduct a learning needs analysis and determine if eLearning (or any learning) is the right solution.

• Write performance-based learning objectives.

• Create a blended learning solution by creating a design document.

• How to collect and organize your learning content into an eLearning storyboard.

• How to design performance-based eLearning interactions.

Day Two:

• Apply strategies for reducing cognitive load in the presentation of your learning content. This includes how to design scenario-based eLearning and how to use animations and stories to explain complex concepts.

• Develop a prototype to test the design of your eLearning course.

• Create an implementation plan to deploy your eLearning course.

• Apply Kirkpatrick’s Four Levels of Evaluation when designing eLearning.

Participant Workbooks

Each participant will receive a workbook, containing useful information, practice activities, job aides, and other resources that will enhance the workshop experience.

Hands-On Activities

Each of my eLearning workshops have been designed to be as interactive and hands-on as possible. Each participant will learn by putting each concept into practice.

Practice Files

My eLearning workshops use practice files to help participants master each concept. Many of my examples are based off my real-life experiences working as an eLearning professional.

Online Resources

Each of my eLearning workshops comes with a dedicated online page, containing additional resources to continue the learning after the workshop experience has ended.
