This was a fun chapter led by a former student, Amy Rogers. It’s a case study of instructional design practice for a textbook of ID cases. Amy did a great job scoping the case, creating artifacts, writing it up, and so on. I largely rode her coattails.
Introduction:
Cassie Standage is a recent graduate starting her first remote job as an instructional designer. She is asked to assist with a high-stakes, time-sensitive project developing a workplace violence prevention training program for 9,000 firefighters. The case begins with her receiving the workplace violence prevention assignment and concludes after she completes her informal learner analysis. Critical to this case is the fact that Cassie’s team needs to identify strategies that will help them be successful with this unique group of learners. While some of the resources/strategies that existed for the ID team are discussed in the case, students will be able to brainstorm other possible avenues for understanding an audience and building the trust and buy-in of their learners and SMEs.
