ATDps: February 2018 Seattle Chapter Meeting
Building Efficient, Consistent Instructional Content Using a Practice-Centered Model
Common Instructional Design models, from ADDIE to SAM, focus on repeatable, scalable processes to identify needs, build content, and evaluate that content. While these processes are critical to creating effective learning experiences, they don’t provide much guidance for how to create actual learning content in a repeatable, scalable way. As a result, training content is frequently inconsistent in quality and style and doesn’t focus adequately on practice with feedback in real-world scenarios. By following a simple, 4-part content model that utilizes worked examples, completion problems, and practice problems, training teams can create learning experiences that are consistent and high-quality. Chad will walk through the model that he has deployed in large, complex training teams and explain how it allows novices and skilled designers to create content that delivers results.
Learning Objectives
After participating in this session, you’ll be able to organize learning content into four parts using a practice-centered model to maximize efficiency and consistency throughout your training organization.
