Cathy Moore - Action mapping — throw them in at the deep end - LT16 Conference

Content development On a mission to banish boring e-learning, Cathy Moore is also making it far more effective along the way. In this session the infectiously enthusiastic globe trotter pitches tent and shares with us her practical insights and methodology for designing content that does its job: getting people to alter their behaviours. Action mapping is vastly popular and successful, join this session to discover why and learn more. Chair: Rob Hubbard, Managing Director, LearningAge Solutions Ltd Action mapping — throw them in at the deep end Cathy Moore, Training Designer 'You should tell learners what they need to know, and then let them practice with an activity.' That's how we're ‘supposed’ to design learning, but what if we disobey? What if we plunge people into an activity without first telling them anything? Will we set them up for failure, or success? In this lively discussion, we'll try activities that cheerfully break the ‘tell, then test’ rule to help people learn through experience. • Design activities that help people practice doing, not knowing • Let people pull the information they need • Break out of the course mindset • Stop wasting time on boring presentations • Use action mapping to focus stakeholders on behaviours, not information
