Instructional Design

Learning is not what it used to be. Tugging to break free from classrooms, it can now be seen backslapping with new media and gamification; exploring concepts of flipped classrooms and micro-learning; while going steady with the old and faithful e-learning. The one thing about learning that is unchanging however, is its need to be designed. Wherever it goes, whatever it becomes, to be effective, it must have design by its side, always.
Instructional Design - Communication & Effectiveness is a 2-day classroom program that aims at imparting five core Instructional Design (ID) skills to participants; determining learning needs, defining measurable learning outcomes, devising teaching methods, planning for content development and planning for evaluation of learning effectiveness. These core skills constitute the basic framework of ID that can help you design and manage learning regardless of the media. To ensure an effective skill transfer to the workplace, this program also provides a host of Job Aids, a comprehensive course book that serves as a go-to reference material long after the workshop.

Instructional Design - Communication & Effectiveness is for L&D professionals who have 2-3 years of experience or more in facilitation, training management, teaching, content development and e-learning design - who are looking for a systematic process-based approach to their work. Learning professionals who manage a team of vendors for design quality, will also find this program valuable
