Today the “drum beat” for improved job performance, as measured by productivity and quality, is arguably louder than ever. One way to help improve job performance is to give individuals better instruction on how to perform a job at a desired proficiency level.
One compelling, research-supported model for doing exactly this is Situation-Based Learning Design (SLBD). As opposed to a topic-based instructional approach, SLBD is a model that focuses on supporting learners in being able to perform on the job. In addition, it not only produces more effective learning outcomes than topic-based designs but it creates opportunities to streamline learning events into more engaging sequences.
You can gain helpful, important insights into strengthening your instructional approach by attending our new, 90-minute online seminar being presented January 22. Led by Dr. Will Thalheimer, an internationally noted learning-and-performance authority, Transforming Your Online Class with Situation-Based Learning will show you how to make more effective learning-design decisions that positively impact the experiences of students.
SBLD is designed for online classrooms but applies to face-to-face teaching as well, and it is appropriate for all subject matter. During this information-packed seminar, you will:
• Understand how to build significantly more effective learning interventions.
• See the limitations of topic-based learning design.
• Utilize the SEDA (Situation-Evaluation-Decision-Action) model in analyzing instructional designs.
• Learn how to persuade stakeholders of the value of context alignment and retrieval practice.
• Learn how to minimize the forgetting curve.
In addition, Dr. Thalheimer will show you how to examine your current practices and brainstorm opportunities for utilizing SBLD in your organization. You will also be able to view visual models on learning and remembering, and to understand the significance of research in the area of learning and performance.
