Jane MacKenzie is sharing her expertise in live online webinars as well as recorded webinars.
We're slowing the pace of the webinars with one every 3 - 4 weeks now.
Good course organization is almost transparent to learners; however, faulty course organization can have learners scratching their heads to make sense of what they're trying to learn or throwing up their hands in surrender to being overwhelmed and unable to figure out what's going on. In this webinar, you'll learn how to organiza courses that make sense to learners and foster successful trainign outcomes. You'll learn some basic principles to help you determine what to teach, how to sequence the topics or tasks at the course, unit, and lesson levels as well as how to depict that organization in a flowchart or outline.
