The Teacher Voice

So how can you use your teacher voice as an instructional designer? • By advocating for your end user

Problem: The instructor’s idea of engagement is a weekly posting of PPT slidesUse your teacher voice to suggest: Virtual office hours, required synchronous sessions, discussion facilitation, reasonable response/feedback timeframes

Problem : Needing to provide company/training information without having all employees miss a day or more of work for trainingUse your teacher voice to suggest: Cutting out the “nice to know” and only keeping the “need to know” in an online format.
