Young students may be open to receiving helpful guidance or critiques from their teachers, but adult learners tend to have a much different perception of their own abilities. (If you doubt this, think about the last time you received criticism or “guidance” from a manager or peer at work. How did you react?). Therefore, when you see adult learners struggling to understand new concepts or failing to quickly grasp a new training topic, your intervention as an instructor should be imple

A lifetime ago I graduated as an environmental biologist. I was one of those kids who did well in school, but had no idea what his vocation was. As a pimply teenager with minimal life experience, how was I to know even half the jobs that existed? After much dilly dallying, I eventually drew upon my nerdy interest in science and my idealistic zeal for conservation and applied for a BSc.

By Edm ond Manning , Senior Instructional Strategist. My favorite analysis question to ask clients is: “What if your target audience already understands how to perform the behavior you’ve outlined, but just doesn’t feel like doing it?”. Very often, I receive a blank stare with a standard answer. “They have to do it. It’s their job.”. I never get to say what I’m thinking, “Well then, why aren’t they?”.

A colleague pointed me to a intense critique of master’s programs in Instructional Design, and it raised several issues for me. So, I thought it’d be worth discussing. The issue is that the program didn’t provide any practice in designing courses from go to whoa, it was all about theory. In the comments, many people talk about how the programs they went did include projects, but this raises issues around the role of programs as well as what practice means.

Back in 2004 I was working a summer internship at an automotive supplier, and during my time there I was tasked with helping set-up an internal “corporate university” This was my first taste into what we know as e-learning today, and it sure was different. The technology was clunky and expensive (the LMS was around $30,000 per year). The online courses were tedious (literally a recorded PowerPoint presentation).
