What Is This Session About?
This session focuses on transforming the way you design learning by emphasising what matters most: improving performance on the job. In this practical, hands-on workshop, you will explore evidence-based principles that strengthen the connection between training and real workplace outcomes.
Through guided activities and collaborative design, you will learn to clarify the business purpose of a learning initiative, create engaging learning experiences, and support learners before, during, and after a training event. The session emphasises designing training that fits naturally into the flow of work, encourages meaningful practice, and reinforces new behaviours over time.
Whether you are refining your instructional design skills or rethinking your overall learning strategy, you will leave with practical tools to create learning solutions that are intentional, sustainable, and capable of driving measurable impact.
What Does The Session Cover?
Upon completion of this course, Learning and Development practitioners and Adult Educators should be able to:
- Build strong business alignment by partnering with stakeholders to define clear performance goals and map learning outcomes to organisational priorities.
- Design end-to-end learning experiences that include pre-learning engagement, meaningful practice opportunities, and post-learning reinforcement to support application.
- Select and apply evidence-based instructional strategies that promote active learning, provide targeted feedback, and accelerate the transfer of new skills into workplace practice.
- Integrate performance support resources that help learners apply knowledge and skills in real time, reducing dependence on formal training alone.
- Communicate learning impact effectively by presenting evaluation findings that demonstrate agreed-upon results at the behavioural and organisational levels.
