You will learn how to organise your content effectively to enhance your communication and engagement skills. We’ll explore how understanding your audience is key to tailoring your content to meet their needs and expectations. By employing a clear, logical structure, you’ll be able to guide your viewers through the material seamlessly.
We will explore the art of balancing practical and theoretical aspects of learning to achieve a well-rounded understanding of any subject. You'll discover why both theory and practice are essential: theory provides the foundational knowledge and principles, while practical application allows you to see these concepts in action and gain hands-on experience.
We’ll explore the principles of commerciality in the context of developing internal learning and development (L&D) courses. You’ll learn how to balance the creation of impactful educational content with strategies that ensure the course is both valuable and aligned with organisational goals.
We’ll focus on the crucial skill of empathic listening in the context of developing L&D courses. You’ll discover how empathic listening can enhance the design and delivery of training programmes by deeply understanding the needs and concerns of our learners.
We’ll explore the importance of feedback loops and chemistry testing in the development of L&D courses. You'll learn how to implement effective feedback mechanisms to continuously gather and utilise input from learners, ensuring that your courses remain relevant and impactful.
We’ll delve into the concept of gamification and its application in designing L&D courses. You’ll learn how to incorporate game elements—such as points, badges, and leaderboards—into your training programmes to boost engagement, motivation, and learning outcomes.
We’ll examine the concepts of macro and micro learning and their roles in designing effective L&D courses. You’ll learn the differences between macro learning, which focuses on broad, comprehensive training sessions, and micro learning, which involves short, focused segments of content.
We’ll explore the use of teachbacks and quizzes in enhancing the effectiveness of L&D courses. You’ll learn how teachbacks—where you will explain back what you’ve learned—can reinforce understanding and provide valuable feedback on course content. We’ll discuss best practices for implementing teachbacks to ensure you effectively gauge learner comprehension and encourage active participation.
In this module we’ll look into the strategic use of collateral in developing effective L&D courses. You’ll learn how various types of collateral—such as handouts, infographics, and reference guides—can support and enhance the learning experience.
