Performance-First Learning: A Day as an Instructional Designer

This one-day immersive course equips adult educators and training professionals with an established six-stage instructional design model to align learning with performance improvement. Through practical activities and real-world cases, participants learn to design learning solutions that address workplace problems and drive measurable outcomes. Generative AI tools will be introduced as optional aids for faster ideation and prototyping. By day’s end, participants will create an instructional prototype aligned to business needs, learner gaps, and performance metrics.

Effective workplace learning is measured by improved performance, not simply completed training. This programme is designed for adult educators, instructional designers, and workplace learning professionals who need a structured approach to designing learning that addresses real business and performance needs.

Participants explore the challenges of distinguishing performance problems from knowledge gaps, aligning learning objectives with measurable outcomes, and developing learning solutions efficiently in an AI-enabled environment. Through a practical six-stage instructional design model, case-based activities, guided discussions, templates, AI-assisted design prompts, hands-on prototyping, peer review, and reflection, learners develop an instructional prototype linked to workplace performance goals.

By the end of the programme, participants will have a replicable workflow and practical tools to analyse performance gaps, design performance-focused learning, and apply a systematic approach to developing learning solutions that support meaningful workplace outcomes.
