INTENTIONAL INSTRUCTIONAL DESIGN

People enjoy learning new things. People at least feel a sense of relief when they acquire skills and knowledge that helps them solve problems. So training should at a minimum be enjoyable and help people solve problems. But can it be more than that? If training is the vehicle that gets people to where they want to go, do your passengers enjoy the ride? You can create a vehicle that gets people where they want to go and that creates an exceptional experience... Engineers design and build machines. As an Instructional Designer, I view training as a machine that includes several systems working together to teach people how to do something... There are rules and there are exceptions. Rules provide standards to follow but exceptions create the bar that everyone strives to grasp. I believe exceptional training improves your performance in an environment that leaves you excited for implementation.
