IDI 1 E-learning Design
William Horton, Author, Designing Web-Based Training
This certificate is all about design - not theories or tool-operation - just the design of effective, economical e-learning. Learn how you can use e-learning technologies and media to create learning experiences that educate and engage. You will learn to:
- Activate even the dullest subject in ways that provide authentic practice and engage e-learners.
- Assess progress: measure what learning has occurred and provide accurate and motivating feedback to learners.
- Select and use appropriate media - text, graphics, sound, music, voice, animation, and video.
- Organize the course: how to structure and sequence learning experiences to implement particular instructional strategies or achieve specific learning goals.
- Design the visual display: what screens should look like and how to balance aesthetics and functionality.
- Accommodate external standards and requirements such as SCORM and Section 508.
- Set your strategy: pure or blended, stand-alone or embedded, synchronous or asynchronous, learner-led or instructor led.
- Plan, prepare, and deliver effective training in the virtual classroom.
- Design and produce simulations that are fun and highly educational.

IDI 2 Advanced Strategies for E-learning
Saul Carliner, Author, Designing E-learning, An Overview of Online Learning, and Advanced Web-Based Training
You've mastered the basics of e-learning BUT... your asynchronous e-courses still look like page-turners and you still receive "push-back" when you try to get approval for e-learning programs. This certificate program helps you work past these issues, and take your instructional design and related business skills to the next level. Specifically, this program explores:
- Developing a business case to justify an e-learning project.
- Advanced approaches to needs assessment, such as the use of personas, use cases, and cognitive task analysis.
- Complex design approaches to e-learning, including informal learning (also known as performance support or workflow-based learning) and blended learning.
- Complex teaching strategies, such as simulations, e-mentoring, and case-based learning.
- Online communication techniques, including screen design, communicating visually, and designing interactively.
- Assessing the effectiveness of e-learning programs.
Learn these techniques as you review actual online learning lessons and consider ways to make them more effective. To make sure that the learning has the most value on the job, you may bring a module of instruction (15-20 minutes, in process or completed) to be reviewed. Participants and the instructor will provide feedback in a structured and supportive atmosphere. (To ensure that the work and comments remain confidential, we will have a policy of non-disclosure.) This exploration provides an opportunity for concrete application of the ideas presented in this seminar.
Who Should Attend: Instructional designers who have developed at least 3 online learning programs and are looking to take their designs to the next level. If you have a laptop computer, please bring it with you to this seminar.
IDI 5 Interactive Instructional Design
Sharon Bowman, Author, The Ten-Minute Trainer: 150 Ways to Teach It Quick and Make It Stick
Regardless of your training topic, top-notch interactive instructional skills ensure that your learners will remain engaged throughout the training experience and that they'll be able to apply what they learned once back on the job. This certificate, for beginning and intermediate trainers, is a formal skill-buiding program that will take you to a higher level of instructional competency. The program focuses on topics such as designing training for all learning styles, improving learners' long term retention of information, time-saving training techniques, turning passive listeners into active learners, adding pizzazz to your training, and much more. In three high-energy, jam-packed days, you will learn to:
- Design and deliver training that is timely, terrific, and totally unforgettable by exploring interactive lecture formats, powerful instructional tools, and exciting opening and closing techniques that will increase your training efficiency.
- Use the ordinary to make your training extraordinary with 24 ways to use everyday office and household objects as retention tools. Discover quick, hands-on memory techniques that make your training more effective - without emptying your pocketbook.
- Use learning and training 'style-stretching' to make learning last, as well as two powerful training design tools based on the natural way ALL people learn.
- Help learners review, repeat, and remember with 60-second activities and quick, 5-minute games that you can use with any topic, any age group, and any size audience.
- Explore the 8 multiple intelligences and learn to use them when selecting instructional strategies to teach important concepts.
- Apply 6 important discoveries about the human brain to make the learning stick.
- Make each class an "EPIC" learning experience - using 4 elements that make your training larger than life and totally unforgettable.
IDI 8 Training Games, Simulations & Activities Design
Sivasailam Thiagarajan, Author, Design Your Own Training Activities: Thiagi's Templates for Performance Improvement; Matthew Richter, Vice President, The Thiagi Group
This walk-the-talk workshop helps you design 16 different types of effective training activities. Based on 30 years of field research, these design formats enable you to create training faster, cheaper, and better. You will:
- Select from 8 types of framegames and rapidly design training activities that incorporate different types of content resources.
- Design 10 different sync-think activities that help participants exchange their best practices with each other.
- Design 30 different interactive lecture activities that enable you to retain control of the session while participants interact with each other.
- Design 10 types of textra games that transform your dull, dry handouts into dynamic activities.
- Design 7 different double-exposure activities to maximize learning from training videos.
- Design 10 types of web game shells to provide excitement to e-learning.
- Select from 8 types of simulations and rapidly design powerful activities that reflect the realities of the workplace and the real world.
- Design jolts that last for a few minutes and provide powerful insights and concepts.
- Design case-method activities to provide high-level analysis, synthesis, and problem-solving skills.
- Design production simulations to train participants to create and evaluate different products.
- Design reflective teamwork activities to leverage the power of action learning in short sessions.
- Use effective facilitation and debriefing principles to increase the impact of your training activities.
- Anticipate resistance from participants and decision makers toward the use of active learning and use a six-step change management model to transform them into enthusiastic supporters.
