Get a daily instructional design idea
August 29th, 2010
I’ve been tweeting a daily idea to spark your instructional design creativity. To get your daily ID idea, follow me on Twitter. (I don’t say much!)
Some recent tweets in the series:
- Ask your SME, “What are the 3 most common mistakes people make?” Turn them into branching scenarios.
- Using a story? What challenge is your character facing? Make them suffer!
- Are you solving a performance problem, or are you just turning information into a course?
- What are you creating to support your course? Job aids? Guidance for managers? Follow-up discussion? Additional tips in emails?
- Teaching a complex procedure? Course: How to use the job aids. Job aids: Everything else.
- What compelling scenario can you use to start your course? P.S. “A new employee is wondering…” isn’t compelling.
- Have your learners finish an almost-completed problem, then take away support in stages until they’re flying solo.
- What do you really want?
