Learner Centric Approach to Instructional Design
Our philosophy is learner-centric. We start with an in-depth understanding of the training needs and the nature of the audience. We integrate ourselves into the learning environment - both physical and technological.
Our learning objectives are performance-based (Robert Mager's principles of setting instructional objectives) and reflect measurability (Benjamin Bloom's Taxonomy)
Our course design is based on the Learning Cycle which typically has four stages.
- Review: sets the context, provides an overview and helps the learner bridge prior knowledge.
- Learning: is the Information Transfer or Knowledge Acquisition phase.
- Application: consists of case studies, best practices or applied exercises.
- Adaptation: provides direction and support to help the learner transfer the new knowledge to his or her own performance and context needs.
