Elearning has been part of most instructional designer's toolkits for a while now. Instructional designers have been using tools like GoAnimate and Camtasia to produce exceptional elearning modules quickly and easily. 

However, using these technical tools isn't always as easy as they sound and just having access to them doesn't mean the creation process is always easy.

Catherine Lombardozzi, author of Learning Environments by Design, sat down with Phyllis Banner to discuss creating the appropriate learning environment.

This technique is a very important step in the modern instructional design process. Without the right learning environment, training programs can fail, and learners won't obtain the knowledge they are seeking.

Impacting individual learners' personal learning paths is one of our most important goals as instructional designers. 

We are tasked with using a multi-layered approach to create effective, engaging training programs. This process involves asking a variety of important questions, including:

• How do we ensure our training has an impact during both formal and informal moments of learning need?
• What is an instructional strategy?
• How are our designs influenced by EdTech?

As training practitioners, we spend a great deal of time talking about how people learn, how to help people learn, and how to use that learning to help organizations improve.

But “learning” often looks like doing, and talking with others about what we’re doing. This is frequently how we learn and how we help others learn.

In this session, we’ll look at what to narrate as well as how and when.
