New instructors or content experts are often appointed and asked to design and deliver training courses without formal teaching skills and experience. This course can help them quickly get up-to-speed on best practices while reducing their stress levels. It also directly benefits trainers hired and expected to teach specific skills effectively in a corporate or educational setting, or acts as best-practices refresher training for experienced instructors.
Instructor Skills Online provides anyone with basic knowledge of proper course design, successful delivery techniques, and up-to-date research-based instructional skills before they meet their first class. It allows students to avoid the common errors made by novice instructors, design their courses to effectively engage student learning, and deliver the information in a professional manner. It can save thousands of dollars on outsourced ‘Train the Trainer’ programs, travel time and cost, and instill hard-to-acquire skills into your supervisory workforce quickly. Increased effectiveness of teaching results in increased confidence as well as enhanced workforce learning.
Organizations benefit both directly and indirectly from improved training delivery. Online training is available where and when needed and saves substantial costs on time and travel to scheduled train-the-trainer instructional skills workshops. New staff can receive immediate training for needed skills. Improved courses can result indirectly in improved learning and morale, lowered accident and absenteeism rates, and a better workplace culture.
