Develop Training Materials

How To Develop Training Materials Step 1 Identify the objectives of the training program. Set a goal to guide lab managers how to access and navigate various software programs. Step 2 Develop a training plan. Step 3 Create a list of necessary training materials. Mntroduction Jun A Sep M Requirements A plan is an overview or outline of how training will be approached. It typically includes the training program schedule, key learning objec- tives and a list of the available resources. For example, participants in a software training pro- gram may need hands-on access to the software, screen shots of more complicated software ele- ments, and a training manual that details software features in a step-by-step fashion. Write an explanation of core skills to be learned. Step 5 Dedicate a separate section to each learning objective. Step 4 This is an overview of what class participants can expect to learn after progressing through the train- ing materials. Create individual lessons. In a software training class, if the main objective is to teach occupational trainers how to navigate instructional software, each lesson might focus on a different objective. Step 7 Incorporate review exercises. Integrate visual elements. Step 6 To accommodate various learning styles, integrate review exercises in various formats. For example, training materials may include true or false or mul- tiple choice questions to reinforce content. After watching an instructional video, ask students to break up into small groups to discuss the content. Use graphics, videos, tables and other visual tools to rein- force important concepts. Establish an assessment Ask learners for feedback. Step 8 component. Step 9 FEED BACK If using videos or presentations to train students, assess students by asking learners to write down their impressions. When creating a training work- book, knowledge may be assessed through the use of quizzes. Evaluate the effectiveness of the training materials by asking training program participants to share their opinions. Address: 11605 Shelbyville Rd.
