We already have the learning objectives and used them for designing the training, so let’s use them again here. Do we need clear learning objectives when we design training? Should we give those to learners with the same language we use for ourselves as designers? Objectives are designed to guide behavior.

There’s definitely something about numbers and instructional design for eLearning. We’ve got Gagne’s nine events of instruction, Kirkpatrick’s four-level training evaluation model, Senge’s five disciplines. And, now, Thiagi’s four-door design model. If Thiagi’s name’s new to you, you’re not alone. Sounds simple.
