Description

This book aims to give instructional designers a better understanding of how learning science can be used in their work. Four real-world case studies illustrate educational needs and the associated solution, bridging theory and practice. Professionals can use the book’s templates and formats to create job aids, virtual training, and online learning storyboards.

The prominent ADDIE methodology for instructional material development is used throughout the book. The ADDIE model’s phases are taught and demonstrated using a variety of real-world scenarios. Gagne’s Events of Instruction, Kolb’s Experiential Model, and Merrill’s Principles of Learning are just a few of the foundational frameworks thoroughly presented with the examples. This book provides examples to show assessment strategies for verifying declarative knowledge and assessment tools for evaluating procedural knowledge. Information about authoring tools,LMSs and LXPs are also covered.

What you will learn

Create synchronous and asynchronous online learning resources.
Acquire familiarity with authoring tools and learning management systems.
Conduct a job analysis to identify skill development and workplace learning opportunities.
Examine the audience profile for educational, professional, and performance objectives.
Assemble lesson plans for online training sessions.
