- Instructional Strategy Formulation:This provides guidelines for creating learning experiences across pedagogy dimensions of intellectual quality, relevance, supportive learning environment, and recognition of learner differences. While doing this, we take into account audience characteristics and include elements to motivate the learners and hold their attention.
- Instructional Systems Design: This identifies systems and methods needed to close learning gaps. It clarifies the type of learning intervention required, including learner interfaces, navigation, interaction and feedback, authoring environment, and transference and applicability mechanisms.
- Instructional Design: This step develops instructional specifications using instructional theory and best industry practices for better quality of instruction. It sequences and clusters objectives, assessments and learning activities.
- Visual Design: This step designs the visual and aesthetics of the courseware. It involves designing the layout and theme of the courseware, and visualizing interface elements, animations, and illustrations.
- Technical Design: Here we look at the compliance to technical standards for courseware development. These include AICC, SCORM, W3C, and ADA 508. We also look at the LMS for which the courseware is created.
- Story boarding: Once the instructional design is conceptualized, the next step is to create a storyboard – a layout that visually tells the story of a courseware frame by frame, and shows what the entire course would look like after having being completed.
- Job Aids & Performance Enhancers: This step focuses on identifying and designing on-the-job tools such as cue cards, quick guides, and checklists. These help enhance learner recall and application on the job.
- Assessments: 2KnowBiz helps learners check the understanding of the subject matter through simple assessments such as multiple choice (MC, fill-in-the-blanks) or multiple multiple-choice (MMC, match-the-following, drag-and-drop), or those that are simulations or game-based.
