Do you need training or educational documentation? I design training programmes and support materials for in-house training or customer training. I also create educational publications (exhibition guides, study packs, etc.) to support the work of museums, galleries and exhibitions.
Designing an effective training course demands that you include useful and accurate content, present your content in a memorable and easily digestable format and that you and your trainees receive feedback to prove the effectiveness of the training and to prove that the trainees have absorbed the content.
Be clear about the aims of the programme and the goals of each training module.
Your plan will typically include a schedule, learning objectives and a list of available resources. Estimate how much time to spend on each learning objective to aid the development of training materials and ensure that equal time is devoted to concepts of equal importance.
Will your trainees need hands-on access to software or equipment, screen shots, and documentation that detail features and/or instructions?
An overview of what trainees can expect to learn after progressing through the training materials will help yopu understand what it is that you, as a trainer, will have to provide.
Determine what training modules, or sections, are required to complete the programme.
Use graphics, videos, tables and other visual tools to reinforce important concepts.
To accommodate different learning styles, integrate review exercises in various formats to reinforce content (ask questions, provide overviews, group discussions, etc.).
Ask your trainees to describe what they know, answer questions or perform a task to prove that the learning outcomes have been met.
Evaluate the effectiveness of the training by asking trainees to share their opinions. Feedback forms could contain questions about organization, clarity, variety and usefulness.
Use the feedback to improve your programme and your materials, and keep them up to date.
AAM Design designs and produces e-learning courses using the advanced features available in PDF and PowerPoint (not just bullet points and screen captures) to create interactive learning modules that engage with the trainee and help them acquire and retain knowledge, skills and core competencies.
When developing e-learning modules, AAM Design will:
"While many e-learning developers do a good job focusing their attention on the e-learning content, they often overlook the needs of the organisation: the budget and the timescale. AAM Design balances the needs of everyone involved."
Exhibition guides should be simple to use, easy to understand, contain your essential message and should not be used as a dump for detail, which may overload or bore your visitor. It will probably also include images of the items on display, to give the visitor a take-away guide of their visit.
I can help you to create PDF documents you can view and print and play. Alternatively, I can create a template for you to create your own guides. PDF documents can be accessed from your website by visitors using their own hardware devices (laptops, i-pad, tablet or smart phone), which means you don't have to provide expensive hardware.
Compared with other formats, such as custom audio guides, PDF guides have several intrinsic advantages:
"The practicality of an editable, viewable, printable and playable PDF guide will make your budget go much further, whether your exhibition is hosted by a national museum or the local village hall."
If your company or organisation needs professional document design, you can hire me on a freelance or contract basis. I'll be happy to give you a fixed-price quote or an hourly/daily rate.
