A good instructional challenge should actually be an incentive to invest in the interaction rather than a deterrent.
Minneapolis/St. Paul, MN (PRWEB) August 13, 2014
Allen Interactions Inc., an internationally acclaimed custom learning design, development, strategic consulting, and technology firm, announces their next premium training webinar for e-learning professionals. The webinar, Breaking the “Challenge” Challenge, provides instructional designers wanting to break the molds of their current e-learning projects with techniques and strategies to employ the challenge aspect of Allen Interaction’s successful CCAF model of instructional interactivity.
Ethan Edwards, Chief Instructional Strategist at Allen Interactions, will explore what it means to design a compelling challenge. Challenge can be built into an interaction following a number of strategies that are far more significant than simply making a question “difficult” or by simply creating obstacles. On Tuesday September 9, 1-3 pm Central, Ethan Edwards invites e-learning professionals to discuss five powerful strategies to guide the design of an interaction’s challenge, explore how the strategies have been implemented in actual project work, and have a live “design session” to show how these ideas might be implemented in a new design.
“A good instructional challenge should actually be an incentive to invest in the interaction rather than a deterrent,” says Edwards. “It is my hope that this webinar will help guide instructional designers to harness the power of good design, allowing them to create truly engaging challenges for their learners, resulting in meaningful results.”
A Special Bonus for Participants:
If registrants enroll 5 or more days before the webinar, they will have the opportunity to submit a design challenge. Ethan will choose examples for the design exercise from those problems submitted. Just think, if your design challenge submission is selected, you'll get a great head start on your own project!
