When it comes right down to it, developing training materials is one of the most critical steps in a training program/project. We’ve all experienced mediocre training, but how many of us have had the privilege of experiencing incredible, memorable, nothing like it training? What scares me is many may not even know this exists. Why not be the trainer others talk about by bringing this type of dynamic experience to your courses?
How does one do this? It’s a combination of personality, delivery…and early in the process it is about developing great materials and that starts with an understanding of Learning Theory.
Are you well-versed on Teaching Styles, Learning Styles (think Kolb), Design approaches (Behavioral, Cognitive), Bloom’s Taxonomy, Learning Objectives? These are elements of Learning Theory and are necessary to understand and integrate with your training material. The podcast covers each of these in more depth.
