Writing For Instruction Differs From Other Finds Of Writing!

People who write for instruction write specifically for how we understand and remember. We certainly don’t want what we write to make it harder to learn but a lot of instructional content does just that! Content that overloads memory. Writing that makes it hard to find or understand the main message.

Writing for instruction means intentionally writing
to make it easier To LEARN,REMEMBER & APPLY.
(Ed. Note This is especially true for Writing for Stakeholders!)

Here’s the (very) good news. Research offers easy-to-apply instructional, writing, usability, and information design principles that show us how to write to make it easier to learn, remember, and apply.

In this session, participants will apply research-driven and actionable tactics.

It will help you:

  • Understand memory so we can work with it and not against it
  • Make content clearer and easier to understand
  • Help people understand how the content fits together

Presenter: Patti Shank PhD President Learning Peaks LLC, is the author of Write and Organize for Deeper Learning: 28 evidence-based and easy-to-apply tactics that will make your instruction better for learning (Make It Learnable), Manage Memory for Deeper LearningMaking Sense of Online Learning . Patti is an internationally recognized instructional designer, researcher, and learning analyst who makes these tactics clear and actionable in her books and workshops.

The Conference Board reported an across-industries statistic in 2018 that only 51% of all employees were satisfied with their jobs. An even smaller percentage reported satisfaction with their potential for development opportunities and future growth.

Job satisfaction is not entirely dependent on economic health,
So what matters most?

In Cal Newport’s “So Good They Can’t Ignore You: Why Skills Trump Passion in the Quest for Work You Love” he proposes that following your passion is bad career advice and that instead, one should develop their passion.

The phrase “follow your passion” was first introduced by Richard Bolles in his seminal book, “What Color is Your Parachute?”. According to Google’s Ngram Viewer, a tool that reports frequency of words and phrases found in all text, this phrase continues to rise in usage to the point that it is now used three times more frequently than when it was first introduced in the 1970s.

In this session, Dr. Tom Tonkin, (LinkedIn profile) Principal Consultant, Thought-Leadership and Advisory Services for Cornerstone on Demand, will address the top three areas where you can simultaneously develop your passion while increasing the needed skills for the current skills economy.

Tom will discuss:

  • The need for employers to increase employee job autonomy
  • The new essential skills of self-directed learning
  • The power of focus on your career

Success stories, lessons learned and others available resources will be shared to get you down the right path.
