Instructional Design For The Synchronous Environment

This program is offered for intact workgroups. Please contact us for more information and to schedule this program.

Program Description:

If you’re moving classroom content to online – it’s a whole new world of instructional design! The synchronous environment requires a different perspective on common training activities such as discussion, flip charting, breakout groups and lecture. In addition, the materials (Facilitator guides, participant guides and slides) that support the synchronous classroom are quite different.  This three-session certificate will explain the design approach of a synchronous class, the creation of synchronous-appropriate materials, and provide a variety of concrete examples.

This course is NOT platform or topic specific, its goal is to help you design compelling courses and course materials to ensure successful synchronous class deliveries. Taken as a stand-alone certificate or as a supplement to InSync’s Synchronous Design Certificate, Instructional Design for the Synchronous Environment teaches how to design a synchronous class in-total and how to create the materials that support it.

Session 1

  1. S-ISD (Synchronous Instructional Design) – the approach to instructional design - when the delivery medium is the synchronous environment - is entirely different from what we “traditionally” do; this session will outline the overall concepts of appropriate design for virtual learners
  2. Slides - Slide design and usage in the synchronous environment

Session 2

  1. Participant Materials – when moving from classroom based training to the online environment, most individuals do away with the participant guide; in fact the participant materials become the second most important contributor to success in the online classroom
  2. Involving the Online Learner – when not designed properly, synchronous training sessions are nothing more than presentations from “talking heads.” This session will identify ways to involve learners in the learning process even when they are separate by time, geography, and language

Session 3

  1. Facilitator Materials – It is too easy for facilitators to fall in to “lecture mode” when teaching in the online environment, UNLESS the design of their facilitator materials reinforces the process of learning (rather than teaching); the first half of this session will provide four examples of facilitator guides and identify how each is designed to pull the learning from participants rather than pushing content at them
  2. Facilitating Learning Outcomes – the certificate program will end with a discussion of the four learning outcomes that training programs are designed to achieve and offer specific design suggestions for achieving each
