Tips,
Tools, Techniques and Other Tantalizing Tidbits
Becoming an effective instructional designer (ID) requires
solid training in the skills needed to analyze, design, develop,
evaluate and revise courses, programs and learning events
or activities. As ID's, we practice and hone these skills
with each project we undertake. However, as with any craft
or profession, we also pick up tips, tools, techniques and
other useful "stuff" from fellow seasoned, successful
professionals. Often, we do the "picking-up" informally
through observation, participation in professional get-togethers
or from casual conversations. These gems, together with our
training and practice, build our successes. From capable journeymen,
we transform into talented master ID performers.
This article and two more which will follow in future issues
offer you some of the things I've picked up or stumbled upon
over the years as a practicing ID and teacher of instructional
design. There are, of course, three objectives for this article

Brought
Back by Popular Demand!
Due to it's popularity, ASTD has added a one-day Training
Ain't Performance event to it's October 2013 Telling
Ain't Training Conference in Arlington, VA. Based on the award-winning
book of the same name, this event takes its content and turns
it into a highly interactive learning experience that provides
the key concepts, principles and tools that can help transform
you into an effective Performance Consultant.
More and more 21st century organizations are transforming
their training/learning and development entities into workplace
learning and performance (WLP) support groups. This very involving
one-day event introduces you to the basic concepts of performance
consulting - a systematic process that allows training professionals,
OD or HRD specialists and even managers to analyze requests
for training or any other type of intervention and determine
whether or not it is necessary/sufficient. This even includes
materials and exercises that deal with human capital and performance
engineering. The full-day session guides you through a thinking
and decision-making process that sets the foundation for becoming
a true workplace learning and performance professional. You
leave with a set of skills and tools that are highly valued
in today's competitive environment.
Information on this
event will be on ASTD's website (www.astd.org)
soon!
