Instructional Design Fundamentals

1-day instructor-led classroom course

Design and develop effective, learner-centred training courses…

Instructional Design Fundamentals combines four popular modules from our instructional design programme, to create a compelling day of training, giving you thorough grounding in instructional design key concepts and best practices.

What you will cover…

PA01: Getting Up and Running

This module helps you avoid the ‘just do it’ approach, taking you through a series of simple, but effective techniques to get your development off to a flying start

PA03: Analysing Your Content

This module helps you to get to grips with your content and gives you a highly-effective strategy to help unpick and streamline a subject matter expert brain dump into meaningful, learner-centred content.

IDF01: Skills and Knowledge Transfer

This module focuses in on the key concepts and components of knowledge and skills transfer. What works, what doesn’t. How to make your learning effective and your learners successful

IDF03: Does Practice Really Make Perfect?

The short answer to the question this modules poses is ‘yes’ – if it’s done right. Find out about: the best ways to deliver practice activities to your learners; the most successful types of practice to use; and, the crucial role feedback plays.
