Designing Instruction Online Program
Designing Instruction Online Program Overview
Challenged with creating and designing successful learning programs but can’t get away for a three-day program? FKA’s cornerstone Designing Instruction program is available online consisting of a series of eight, 2-hour, live-facilitated virtual sessions. Designed for anyone responsible for designing learner-centered courses that lead to performance improvement and business results. You will gain the requisite knowledge, skills and confidence to meet the challenges of any learning initiative as you work on your own projects and receive expert, individual coaching and feedback. Receive a detailed support manual and access to online checklists and templates to support you during the program and on all your future design projects.
NOTE: Participation in these programs requires the use of VOIP communications. A computer headset is highly recommended for best audio quality. We also recommend a hardwired internet connection rather than wifi.
