Instructional designers and training managers sometimes ask me, “How do I train SMEs to write better branching scenarios?” While I understand the perspective of the folks asking that, I think it’s the wrong question.

In conversations, I’ve begun to suspect that one of the biggest, if not the biggest, problem facing designers wishing to do truly good, deep, design, is client expectations. That is, a belief that if we’re provided with the appropriate information, we can crank out a solution. Why, don’t you just distribute the information across the screen and add a quiz?

There’s been a growing chorus that L&D should think more like marketing, and that we should borrow principles and approaches from there. This is not surprising. The similarities are all too obvious: L&D and marketing are both trying to change behavior. But beyond this basic realization, we’d do well to understand the fundamental parallels and differences between the two: Marketing is all about persuasion + education.

Ice breaker questions – some of us love them, the rest of us loathe them. They typically bear no relevance to the topic at hand, and if it’s even mildly personal, I’m too busy scrambling for something interesting to say instead of listening to what my colleagues are saying. But I can see why trainers use them: they metaphorically break the ice.
