Day 1
The first day of the workshop will focus on applying key instructional methods to design courses for how people learn. Participants will learn how to develop their ideas using storyboards; how to create, structure and present content in an engaging way; and how to test learners’ knowledge with effective assessments. By the end of the first session, participants will have begun preparing the first draft of their storyboard. They will then have a chance to continue their storyboard independently before returning for the second session, which will be structured as a trouble-shooting workshop.
