“What do I need my learners to know? What do I want to cover in this module? What do I want this slide to say? What question can I add to be interactive?” When elearning design starts with questions like these, the end product could easily end up as a bloated data dump that leaves learners wondering how to get that half-hour of their life back. It’s an easy trap to fall into when we focus on knowledge (the means) instead of performance (the end). In this workshop, you’ll learn simple but effective strategies to help you design elearning courses with a laser focus on what your learners need to do differently...and how to help get them there. In this program, you will learn to:

• Set objectives that truly matter to your audience and your stakeholders. (Spoiler alert: no one cares if they can list, define, and describe things!)
• Work more effectively with subject-matter experts who think everything needs to be included.
• Write engaging storyboards that provide useful context for your learners through examples and scenarios.
• Plan visuals that don’t just decorate the slides, but rather help your content come to life.
• Design realistic practice activities that reinforce skills rather than simply test superficial facts.
