If you build instructional materials for an applied adult audience, you NEED this book! Practice and feedback are two of the most essential elements of instruction and getting them right is the difference between instruction that doesn't connect and deep learning and application. Practice is where people go from what to how. Feedback offers information needed for next steps. How we implement these two critical elements make all the difference and this book shows how. The strategies and tactics come from training and adult learning research and were selected because of their impact on training and learning outcomes. The five strategies are: Strategy 1: Analyze the Job Context Strategy 2: Practice for Self-direction Strategy 3: Practice for Transfer Strategy 4: Practice for Remembering Strategy 5: Give Effective Feedback These are the strategies and tactics needed to make instruction more relevant and responsive to today's changing workplace and needs.
