ADULT LEARNING PRINCIPLES COURSE
Background
I worked as a Teaching Assistant for the Adult Learning Principles course within the Organizational Performance and Workplace Learning graduate program for three semesters. As part of my responsibilities, I developed instructional videos aimed at supplementing the course content. The audience were graduate students who varied in their knowledge and experience.
Design and Development
I chose a topic that I was knowledgeable about and would be interesting to students learning about learning science. I had been conducting research in the field of decision-making as part of a research project and published a chapter on how to design training to develop decision-making skills.
When designing and developing the training, I chose to limit my on-screen text, incorporate images with text, and used signaling to highlight important points, following Mayer’s Principles of Multimedia Learning.
Final Product: Instructional Video
I created the training using MS PowerPoint and Camtasia.
