For a person with any type of #performanceanxiety these types of questions will then and you second guess every choice that comes after. 🤦♀️ #instructionaldesign #learningdesign #assessment

Pictures are worth a thousand words, and even though this picture uses words to communicate, it completely illustrates why I got into instructional design. So much of employee training is "check the box" - questions to ensure that participants paid attention to the footnotes, but not ones that reinforced the key concepts. Training gets a bad rep because questions like the one below (and those "Did you read that parenthetical on slide 847?") are such a waste of time. But it doesn't need to be that way! As instructional designers, we must always approach our work with the learner in mind. Is it meaningful? Is it worth the learner's time? Does it reinforce the things that the learner likely didn't know coming into the training, but will need to know when exiting? Does it allow the learner to practice and assess their knowledge in the way they will use it? Or, is it just like the trainings you went through that you hated?

Check out the video of my FIRST pitch and get a glimpse into the heart of what Level Up Education Consultancy is all about.

Very very excited, both to be delivering this Webinar and for the launch of our Classroom Assessment course, both taking place in on the 19th August. Assessment is an essential part of learning, yet our initial reaction to it, and that of students, is often negative. Our immediate association is often that of high-stakes tests that we ourselves have experienced in the past, and the associated stress and anxiety - along with results that we may have felt didn't truly reflect our abilities as learners. But assessment also allows us to identify not only what we don't know, but also to identify what we have successfully learned, and celebrate that success. Moreover, recall practice (which is best done through low-stakes assessment) is key if we wish to successfully retain knowledge. By allowing teachers, and students, to understand and take ownership for their own assessment practices, we allow them to take ownership over their own learning, and move towards a more positive perception of what is a fundamental part of any education.

HYPO-RESPONSE & STRESS - a view into one of our Q&As about why we find it important to know about hypo-response. We are exited to start the LIVE level 1 ONLINE course INCLUDING AND AWAKENING HYPORESPONSE today at 5-7 pm CEST. This is a mandatory course for our level 2 courses coming up the next years. We do offer a level 1 course special with the presentations only. There you will miss the important group learning in the exchange time coming after the presentations. Many participate in the level 1 course more than once and many who have purchased the presentations only choose to join us in the LIVE online course. Remember the recordings are recorded, so you can join in and learn even if you are unable to be there on some or all the live dates. They report that they still experience to be a part of the group. If interested to participate use this link and purchase the course. https://buff.ly/47nz8Bd
