"Thank you for your 30 years of insight and experience in Instructional Design...I was able to take away a couple of key pieces of knowledge that I have not heard about, read about or experienced. Listening to you was well worth my time. I know it will help me as I continue designing,developing and consulting."

The
Needs Assessment/Analysis Workshop (1.5 days). This workshop
provides the knowledge and skills necessary to be able to select
an optimal needs assessment/analysis strategy and to use necessary
associated tools to carry out each strategy. The workshop will use
a case study approach and includes participants working on a project
of their own in which they will develop a plan for their own needs
assessment/analysis, and presenting the findings.
The
Task Analysis Workshop (1.5 days). One of the very first steps
in developing an educational or training program is to analyze the
nature of the actual tasks involved. Some tasks, of course, are
purely academic or intellectual in nature; others are primarily
concerned with physical skills. However, regardless of the nature
of the task, it is necessary to determine the ingredients and the
characteristics of the topic or job that the trainee has to learn.
It is only when these precise characteristics are known that the
training need (gap) can be established, and the learning objectives
written.
