Sometimes a change of approach is called for, rather than a change in technology. These programs are tools; what you do with them determines whether or not they’re effective.

There are few things as frustrating to a learning and development (L&D) team as hearing, “We’ve got a global change” when a project is in final review.

Many of the bugs you check again will not even be possible due to changes in the course, but look for them regardless. This can be done at any point in the QA cycle, but it is highly recommended that you do this once the project nears completion and is almost ready to be delivered.

CHANGING the structure will throw learners off and MAKE it hard to focus. You can present learning material in chronological order, least complex to most complex, start with generalizations and move on to case studies, etc. Using headings and visual hierarchies is a big help too.

Since motivation and behavior change are part of instructional design, I thought it would be fun to take a look at where people go wrong and how you can increase your chance of success.
