- #11 1. Communicate information with no performance expectations. Information-based courses communicate new information but have no built-in expectations of changed performance. A good example is a course that highlights new features of a software application. You learn about the new the features but you aren’t required to do anything with this new information. 2. Give step-by-step instructions that have specific outcomes. These courses are focused on procedures and how to do something. They’re made up of repeatable tasks that are very close to what the learner will do at work. A good example is showing someone how to complete a worksheet or use software. 3. Share guidelines to help the learner solve problems. The most challenging courses to design are those where you teach principles or guidelines versus repeatable steps. You really have to understand the nuances of the learner’s situation and how the principles can be applied while respecting the fact that each application is somewhat unique.
- #20 Instead of creating an outline of content, start by asking, “How do we get the learners to pull this information?” Doesn’t have to be overly complicated. Well designed case studies or scenarios can create a need for the learners to pull the information You don’t even need to have big case studies. You can present some simple questions or problem-solving activities that require a solution. Essentially, you want to create a need for the information. Once the learner has a need, then they’re motivated to fulfill it. And that’s how you get the information to them.

- #32 Organise Content into Small Chunks • Build Upon Prior Knowledge. Create processes where the learner can practice using the information in a context that integrates it with prior experience. (Case studies and practices exercises are good because they can be structured to combine the new information with the learner’s current understanding.) • Provide Real-World Context. (Create exercises and real-world scenarios that help the learner apply the new information into a workplace context.
