Description

Have you ever created a training or learning experience that fell flat? Maybe your felt learners weren't very engaged, or maybe when you tested your learners at the end, the learning retention wasn't what you hoped it would be. Whenever this happens, it can feel extremely disappointing and discouraging. It's also easy to feel helpless, blame the learners, and feel unsure what is in your locus of control to do next. Here's the good news: this is in your locus of control. Often times, when this happens, it's not because of something going on with the learners, it's usually because of something going on with the learning design – namely, that the learning designer did not incorporate adult learning principles into their course, leading to poor engagement and/or learning transfer. This course will explore the 6 essential adult learning principles that every designer should be prioritizing. These adult learning principles are all backed up by research and should be widely implemented across all adult trainings. This course will also explain why each principle is important and recommendations on when and how to incorporate them into your training. Whether you are just started out as a learning designer, getting ready to create a course for others in your industry, or excited to refresh your skills as an experienced learning designer, this course will help everyone maximize the effectiveness of their training.
