Adult Learning Module 2: Design Skills
Adult Learning Module 2 will introduce the principles of content-based training design. Participants will develop training objectives, discuss the use of the learning cycle in training design, and consider evaluation strategies for measuring the effectiveness of a training session. Participants apply their knowledge using Achieve’s Course Approval process.
This module is offered as a daylong, in-person course (6 clock hours Develop-approved), and it is also offered in a blended online design (8 clock hours Develop-approved) featuring readings, discussion boards, and reflection assignments along with live Zoom sessions.
Online attendees will receive emailed instructions for logging in a few days before the training begins from the TARSS team at tarss@umn.edu. Please make sure the TARSS email is on your safe list or check your spam folder.
