Designing A Training Manual Course

Instructionally designed manuals stand out – none of the cut-and-paste ChatGPT brigade. Instructional designers provide support to management by designing and developing programs that will effectively and efficiently change behaviours.

Often, a glimmer of an idea initiates a discussion, which leads to a request for the development of a training program. The process of developing a program is a combination of art and science. The instructional designer utilises their ability to systematically produce a creative document that allows them to facilitate a dynamic learning experience. When the process is complete; the designer looks back and checks to see that all parts of the “science” have been taken into account. Then the entire process is woven creatively as if it occurred systematically.
