INSTRUCTIONAL DESIGN: BEST PRACTICES FOR BUILDING EFFECTIVE TRAINING

  • Planning: where do you start when developing a course/training? The training design process, determine learning outcomes and objectives. Principles of backward design, situational factors and student motivation.
  • Develop program components, such as syllabi and lesson plans. Designing effective learning and assessment. How do you create a syllabus focused on student learning? Resources for designing and aligning course/program goals, learning objectives, instructional activities, and assessment strategies.
  • Designing effective learning and assessment. Assessment strategies: which are appropriate and effective for your course/program.
  • Design virtual training: step-by-step approach. List of constraints: the importance of limiting group size, the length, technical constraints. How to make your training engaging and interactive and set your learners up for success? Instructional methods used in the virtual classroom: how to ensure you select the right method. The factors that have the greatest impact on learners in the virtual learning. Techniques to enhance feedback.
  • Using Generative AI in curriculum design. Writing assignments, developing rubrics, and incorporating problem solving and reflection-based activities. Integration of AI into assignments, lessons and practice.
  • Innovations in learning design and education.
  • Contemporary Intelligent and interactive technologies/ tools to create courses and materials. Using VR, AR & MR, podcast, AI and etc.
  • Inclusive and equitable learning environment: how to create an environment that is welcoming, equitable, and supportive for all. Active learning strategies and learning-centered activities.
  • Educational consulting: best practices for coaching/consulting and supporting professionals responsible for running training programs. How to improve teaching, adapt to a new modality?
  • Evaluating your learning programs. How to find the simplest solution? How to evaluate the effectiveness of your training programs?
