The International Accreditors for Continuing Education (IACET) and InSync Training are pleased to announce a strategic partnership to support learning and development professionals, educators, and trainers in ongoing efforts to sharpen their skills, navigate cutting-edge virtual learning tools and leverage methods vital to staying competitive, optimizing learner knowledge, and retaining employees.

Recommended Prerequisite:  It is preferable for participants to have some experience as instructional designers - familiarity with writing performance objectives and applying adult learning principles is optimal. If you need to learn about these concepts before this course, check out  "A Practical Approach to Training Adults" IACET Workshop (March 1 and 2, 2023).  Find out more: https://www.iacet.org/events/train-the-trainer-seminars/

Description:

The modern virtual classroom calls for intentional modern design. We cannot take our traditional  classes and put them in a virtual classroom and call them good training. We will show you how to walk your objectives through a proven 4-Step Process which will support virtual classroom excellence. Activities appropriate for the virtual classroom will be discussed and demonstrated. Leave the class having designed a one hour collaborative session for your organization! Throughout the program we focus on the Virtual Instructional Designer’s role in supporting the InQuire Engagement FrameworkTM, a three- pronged approach for maximizing engagement of all learners in the virtual classroom.

Guiding Questions for this Course

• What is the philosophy behind InSync’s trademarked approach to virtual classroom design?
• How do I apply a 4-step instructional design technique to determine which objectives can be taught in a virtual classroom?
• How do I address emotional, environmental and intellectual engagement through my designs?
• How do I engage my learners during demonstrations?
• How do I design lecture-oriented content for maximum impact and retention, design activities that inspire collaboration, design debriefs that hold learners accountable, and design effective reflection activities?
• How do I support adult learning principles in my designs?
• How do I create accountability and assessment in my designs?
• What options do I have when designing a blended learning program?

Final Project
The final project is to create a facilitator guide, learner materials and presentation materials 
(slides) for a one-hour virtual lesson. You will have 30 days after the final live lesson to 
design, create, and submit these materials, which will be evaluated by an InSync instructional design specialist. This is a pass/fail requirement.
