Learning by Design

Most learning gets forgotten before it gets used. We build the kind that doesn't - learning people engage with, think about, and carry back into their work. We don't design courses. We design experiences. 

Four Questions Worth Asking The Learning by Design Series

Every design decision rests on an assumption - about learners, about teaching, about what actually works. Watch them in order, or start wherever a question grabs you. 

LbD Video 1. “Learners are _______.”

How you fill in that blank might say less about your learners - and more about your course.

LbD Video 2. Two learners. One course. Very different experiences. 

Why might two people respond to the same learning experience in completely different ways? And what does that tell us about the way we design learning? Meet Susan and Robert. 

LbD Video 3. What makes a great instructor?

Is it expertise? A great presentation? Or something else? There are three types of instructor... which one are you?

LbD Video 4. How do you know your training actually worked?

It's easy to assume that if you taught it, they learned it. There's an approach for actually checking - and it's simpler than you'd think.
