Instructional Design Guru Reveals Secrets
Neil Lasher, the UK-based instructional design guru, is running his
revolutionary 'More Than Instructional Design' course in the USA -
including Las Vegas, NV, at the end of April and Atlanta, GA, in June.
Designers of learning materials are being given the chance to 'hit the
jackpot' in Las Vegas, NV, on April 23 and 24, when instructional
design guru, Neil Lasher, will be revealing the secrets of developing
effective 'e-' and 'non-e' learning materials. Lasher is revealing
these secrets at one of the pre-conference sessions of the Lectora
Conference (further details from Traci Connor at the conference's
organizer, Trivantis, through
connor@trivantisdev.com).
Organizations including a consortium of 24 local councils in Scotland,
the Future Electronics corporation in Montreal, Canada, and even the
British Army are among the recent recipients of the benefits of
Lasher's 'More than Instructional Design' course.
Since publishing - last year - 'The five 'A's of Learning', a model of
instructional design (ID) which encapsulates the lessons of 20 years of
designing eLearning and related materials to produce a model for ID
specifically relating to task-based and 'rapid' or 'workflow' eLearning,
Lasher has been in demand to run his ID courses in the USA, Canada, the
UK and even Russia.
The courses are designed to further delegates' understanding and
creation of eLearning, helping them to become both proficient and
self-sufficient in producing effective eLearning materials. They help
delegates to create precise, reliable and cost-effective learning for
the most demanding of professionals.
"We will provide you with a process for structuring eLearning
courseware to facilitate effective, performance-enhancing eLearning",
said Lasher, who runs Trainer1, one of the UK's leading learning
consultancies. "This course takes you through the instructional design
process by working on a real project.
"You will receive tips on how to isolate the learning requirements,
create the right blend to address different learning styles, design a
course map, identify opportunities for interactivity and practise
scriptwriting as well as get the opportunity to receive advice direct
from the trainer as along with other course delegates", he added.
"Delegates can find out if they are suited to creating eLearning
materials and the course takes the novice from the 'toe in the water'
stage to 'full immersion' in the world of eLearning", he said.
"However, the tips and techniques that the course explores are
applicable to ID for all forms of learning delivery - not merely
eLearning. It is this cross-platform applicability that is attracting
an increasing number of delegates on our 'open courses'".
After Las Vegas, Lasher is running the ID course in the UK before
returning to speak - on ID - at the ASTD International Conference and
Exposition, in Atlanta, GA, from June 3 to 6.
