Learning Design Masterclass

Jump into the exciting world covering the science (and art) of instructional design in this immersive masterclass. In it, you’ll learn about the most important aspects of learning design, combining theory and practice.

What’s in a Good Class?

You’ll experience a carefully crafted journey that transforms theoretical knowledge into practical skills you can apply immediately.

Design Models for Change

Discover how systematic approaches to instructional design drive meaningful learning outcomes and organizational transformation.

• ADDIE Framework: Master the classic Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation process that forms the backbone of instructional design
• SAM (Successive Approximation Model): Learn this agile alternative that emphasizes rapid prototyping and iterative development
• Design Thinking for Learning: Apply human-centered design principles to create learner experiences that resonate and inspire
• Action Mapping: Focus on performance outcomes by mapping learning directly to business goals and measurable results

Engaging Content Creation

Transform ordinary information into compelling learning experiences that capture attention and drive retention.

• Storytelling in Learning: Harness narrative structures to make content meaningful, memorable, and emotionally resonant
• Visual Design Principles: Apply cognitive design principles that enhance understanding while reducing cognitive load
• Interactive Elements: Create purposeful interactions that reinforce key concepts and maintain engagement
• Microlearning Techniques: Design focused, bite-sized learning components that fit modern attention spans and workflow integration

The Neuroscience of Learning

Leverage scientific insights about how the brain processes, stores, and retrieves information to optimize your learning designs.

• Cognitive Load Theory: Design with working memory limitations in mind to prevent overwhelming learners
• Spaced Repetition: Implement strategic review intervals that dramatically improve long-term retention
• Dual Coding Theory: Combine visual and verbal information to strengthen neural connections and enhance recall
• Attention and Engagement: Apply neuroscience-backed techniques to capture and maintain learner focus throughout the experience

Change Management Strategies

Bridge the gap between great learning design and actual behavior change in your organization.

• Learning Transfer: Design for application with strategies that ensure skills move from classroom to workplace
• Stakeholder Alignment: Build buy-in and support through effective communication and involvement techniques
• Behavior Change Models: Apply frameworks like BJ Fogg’s Behavior Model and the Transtheoretical Model to drive sustainable change
• Performance Support: Create ecosystems of learning that provide just-in-time assistance when and where it’s needed

Learning Technology Integration

Navigate the educational technology landscape to select and implement the right tools for your learning objectives.

• LMS/LXP Selection: Evaluate platforms based on your specific learning ecosystem needs and integration requirements
• Authoring Tools: Compare capabilities and workflows of popular development environments to find your best fit
• Emerging Technologies: Explore strategic applications of AR/VR, AI, and adaptive learning technologies
• Analytics and Measurement: Implement data collection strategies that provide meaningful insights into learning effectiveness

Inclusive Learning Design

Create learning experiences that are accessible, representative, and effective for diverse audiences.

• Accessibility Standards: Design with WCAG principles to ensure content works for all learners, including those with disabilities
• Cultural Competence: Develop approaches that respect and incorporate diverse perspectives and experiences
• Universal Design for Learning: Apply multiple means of engagement, representation, and action to support all learners
• Bias Awareness: Identify and address unconscious biases in content, examples, and assessment approaches

“The best learning experiences aren’t just about transferring information—they’re about sparking change. This masterclass will show you how to create learning that doesn’t just inform, but inspires and empowers people to change.”
