Book description
Products, technologies, and workplaces change so quickly today
that everyone is continually learning. Many of us are also
teaching, even when it's not in our job descriptions. Whether it's
giving a presentation, writing documentation, or creating a website
or blog, we need and want to share our knowledge with other people.
But if you've ever fallen asleep over a boring textbook, or
fast-forwarded through a tedious e-learning exercise, you know that
creating a great learning experience is harder than it seems.
In Design For How People Learn, you'll discover how to use
the key principles behind learning, memory, and attention to create
materials that enable your audience to both gain and retain the
knowledge and skills you're sharing. Using accessible visual
metaphors and concrete methods and examples, Design For How
People Learn will teach you how to leverage the fundamental
concepts of instructional design both to improve your own learning
and to engage your audience.
