“Inform, Present, Do” is a typical educational design mannequin. We featured that in a earlier publish. The mannequin is a straightforward reminder that steers the course design away from the widespread content material dump and focuses on the motion within the studying, primarily the doing half.
However I like so as to add, “Inform, present, do! Then observe and evaluate!” It rhymes and is one other simple factor to recollect about course design. I like discussing this with shoppers and subject material specialists who are inclined to focus an excessive amount of on content material.
Right here’s a fast recap:
- Inform them what they’ll be taught. This communicates the expectations and targets. It additionally gives context which permits the learner to see how the course is related and suits into their world and expectations.
- Present them what they may “do” to allow them to see it in motion. Seeing it earlier than training permits folks to construct some familiarity with the method and helps remove a few of that “simply getting began” nervousness.
- Do the duty. At this level, the learner ought to do the duty that they’ve been uncovered to and seen in motion. In a web based course, the duty is often some type of simulated decision-making. That may be one thing like a role-play exercise and even software program simulation the place the person inputs information.
- Apply the duty. This can be a subset of the “doing” nevertheless, the important thing level right here is the repetition that comes with observe. E-learning programs typically are weak on training the duty greater than a few times. And when the persons are outdoors of the course, there must be some assist to observe the duty in a real-world setting. The extra touches they get the extra alternatives to be taught.
- Assessment what they did. That is additionally a subset of “doing” and goes with the method of observe, suggestions, observe, suggestions…On the finish of the day you must assess their stage of understanding and proficiency and supply subsequent steps, reminiscent of certification of talent or maybe some type of remedial course of to get extra observe. One problem within the e-learning and coaching house is that the supervisor or group leads are inclined to abdicate the educational to the course or coaching program. Nevertheless, there’s numerous alternative to reinforce the coaching with a constant and thorough evaluate course of outdoors of the e-learning course.
This can be a extra fleshed out Inform, Present, Do mannequin that considers extra of the observe and suggestions a part of the educational course of. I like this system higher than the primary one as a result of it consists of the evaluate and debriefing which incorporates the social a part of studying the place new learners get a way of the place they match and the way they’re doing.
