The AD of ADDIE
Letting your subject matter experts throw their extensive knowledge directly into a development tool bypasses the analysis and design phases of the ADDIE process. Chances are you’ll end up with a course that’s a bit….meh?
Analysis and Design are there for a reason and that’s where I come in. They are my area of expertise, not to mention my favourite parts of a project!
Always invite the instructional designer to the party!
People don’t learn when they’re bored. Being the expert on a subject doesn’t necessarily make you the best person to pass on that knowledge.
You need to up your game and design engaging, interactive content that will make your audience so invested in what they’re doing, they won’t even realise they’re learning.
Backed up by learning theory, I’ll use my experience of what eLearning development tools can do to design the best possible experience for your learners.
