Small Bytes Learning (9:00 – noon)

With limited and busy schedules, learners must digest knowledge and learning as quickly as they can and put it to immediate use. The content is best delivered in “small bites,” otherwise the learner wastes time, gets frustrated and desired results are not achieved. In this session, the following topics will be covered:

• What are the trends that extremely pressure trainers, SMEs, designers and developers and leaders to produce “Small Bites” Learning?
  
• What is “Small Bites” Learning and how does it differ from formal and informal learning?
  
• Where is “Small Bites” Learning most effective?
  
• How do you apply “Small Bites” Learning in compliance, technical, software, people skills, on-boarding and awareness training?
  
• What is a proven step to produce “Small Bites” Learning?
  
• How do you calculate the savings of “Small Bites” Learning? Three case studies will be presented.
  
• Preview demos and examples of “Small Bites” Learning as delivered in performance support, elearning and mobile learning.
  

Engaging Story-Based Learning Design (1:00 – 4:30)

Story-based Learning Design is for every progressive learning and training champion who seeks to design, develop and implement a better, more high-impact and truly innovative story-based approach.
Develop skills in creating interactive and discovery-learning methods where the content is embedded in real-life events. Discover revolutionary ideas that fire up your current eLearning programs. Raise learners’ interactivity levels. Cut training time and costs significantly. Improve learners’ performance through better knowledge recall and retention.

• Differentiate the key distinctions between traditional instructional design and the Story-Based Learning design.
  
• Apply the "SRIA Model" (Set up, Relate, Interpret and Apply) in building story-based micro lessons.
  
• Apply the "15 Story-Based Design Models."
  
• Construct modules and lessons that are only 3-minute long using a powerful story method.
  
• Incorporate the "Oscillation Technique" and "Organics" of weaving small stories into a full program.
  
• Learn how to apply Story-based design methods using success stories, customer complaints, product recalls, penalties, legal infractions, lawsuits, product defects, lost sales, quick solutions, etc. to help learners turn technical and compliance information into personalized learning experiences.
  
• Implement the “Story-Based Instructional Design Process and Project Plan from interviewing SMEs to the development of the learning program.
  
• Develop reusable standards, templates and processes for Story-Based design and development.
