Workshop Brief:

Instructional Design is a core-skill for anyone in the area of content/training. Instructionally designed content achieves the learning goal with more effectiveness and less cost; it eliminates the risk of a learning program bombing upon being served to the audience, and it ensures that the learning not just reaches the learners but stays with them so that they can apply it productively. Instructional Design, unlike technology doesn't change at a maddening pace.

Rapid Authoring or Rapid eLearning Development has recently begun to sound synonymous to content development for learning. Job descriptions that were once completely focused on instructional design and content development have quietly started including the names of rapid authoring tools and while the knowledge of a rapid authoring tool might not be a determining factor in a candidate's selection for the job of content/training development, it's definitely becoming an important value-add.

Training requires both content development and content delivery. Rapid authoring reduces the cost of content development tremendously and it enables organizations to create eLearning content, usually to support their training programs, quickly and cost-effectively. While Instructional Design defines the character of any learning program and ensures its instructional effectiveness, Rapid Authoring enables one to create eLearning content without setting up a whole eLearning development team....and this is why the complete learning professional of tomorrow would possess both the skills - ID and Rapid Authoring.

This workshop will explore the relationships between the different facets of learning while focusing on Instructional Design, Content Development, Training, and Rapid Authoring. Its goal would be to answer the professional queries of those who want to understand how all these are connected and how skilling-up in these areas could help them.
