“Instructional Design: Adult Learners” by Jeff Toister As someone who is passionate about education, learning, and creating impactful experiences, this course has helped hone my skills in designing effective and engaging learning materials. Here are some key takeaways from the course: 🛠️ ADDIE Framework: I learned how to use this foundational model (Analyze, Design, Develop, Implement, Evaluate) to create structured, learner-centered experiences. 🎯 Learning Objectives: Crafting clear, measurable learning outcomes ensures that both the designer and the learner are aligned from the start. 📊 Assessment Design: Understanding the difference between formative and summative assessments has deepened my ability to measure and track learner progress more effectively. 🎮 Engagement Techniques: Exploring how to use gamification and interactive learning to keep learners motivated and invested in their development. 💻 eLearning Tools: I got hands-on experience with Learning Management Systems (LMS) and other tools that make virtual learning accessible and impactful. This course has given me a strong foundation to not only design instructional materials that work but to truly create learning experiences that stick with people long after the course is over. I’m excited to continue applying these skills in my professional journey and help others learn, grow, and thrive! 🌱 #InstructionalDesign #LearningExperienceDesign #ProfessionalDevelopment #eLearning #ADDIE #LMS #LearningAndDevelopment #CourseCompleted #LifeLongLearning Just finished the course “Instructional Design: Adult Learners” by Jeff Toister!

Just finished the course “Designing the Learner's Journey” by Michael Allen. This course was truly an eye-opener in how to engage learners effectively and productively. 📚 Key Takeaways: * Embracing a “choose your own adventure” model to personalize learning experiences. * Prioritizing content, experience, and the learner to ensure productive use of every learner’s time. * Fostering competency, confidence, and joyful performance in learning. * Addressing and overcoming learning blocks like self-efficacy, fear, stress, and disinterest. * Utilizing a powerful learner-centric instructional design method to enhance learning outcomes. * Understanding the impact of attitudes on learning and performance. Thank you, @MichaelAllen, for sharing your expertise and insights. This course has given me valuable strategies to design impactful learning journeys that help each learner thrive. Highly recommend this course to fellow instructional designers and educators looking to enhance their skills and make a meaningful difference in their learners' lives! 🌟 #InstructionalDesign #LearnerEngagement #ProfessionalDevelopment #Elearning #LifelongLearning

No one likes being overwhelmed. The most common thing I find myself talking to new instructional designers and eLearning developers about is cognitive load. What it is, what it means for learning, and how it can be managed. These are foundational requirements for designing an effective experience. This video only covers the basics but is a great place to start. #LearningAndDevelopment #InstrucitonalDesign #CognitiveLoad #LearningScience #eLearningDevelopment
