Instructional design workshops


Regardless of whether you are designing a workshop, workbook or e-learning, there are some core educational principles to follow when designing training or learning materials that will maximise their effectiveness.

These principles are often overlooked, particularly with the increasing use of rapid e-learning materials that make it easy to present material on screen but which do not necessarily help make learning easy.

This workshop looks at the principles of both high and low levels of learning design, so that you will feel confident that your materials follow sound principles.

I can also deliver this workshop with a specific focus on instructional design for e-learning.
