More than Instructional Design
So many elearning designers have never designed instructor-led training or have no experience developing training at all. They are just thrown into elearning design unexpectedly, a new responsibility in their job. Other elearning designers have only designed for instructor-led and they have learned, usually the hard way, that one method does not always effectively translate to the other. Then there are those of us who are fascinated by how people learn, what stimulates learning, and all the theories behind it. I love hearing about ISD theory and the practical applications. (That probably makes me odd.) No matter how you look at it, I think we all need some help with our Instructional Design. (Consider the blurb here.) Our methods need to be challenged, if only because it makes us think and expand from where we are now.
There’s a course coming to the US and I’m incredibly excited about it. Those of you who have heard Neil Lasher speak at conferences (Lectora conferences, ASTD, ELN, and so forth) know that Neil gives a great speech. This is more. He’s coming to Atlanta to teach his new instructional design course! Not only that, it’s incredibly affordable. I believe he is only charging $550.00 (USD) per person, with a discount for two or more from the same company. (Even small companies like mine can afford that!) The course outline (available here) includes everything from basic ISD principles to applying what you learned in your own psuedo-course.
Whether you’re interested in theory, eLearning, or instructor-led, this course will help improve your delivery and your development. What a great opportunity! I always enjoy Neil because he tends to think outside of the current theories. Whether I agree with him or not, I always learn something new about myself and about instructional design.
