- Identify common mistakes and failures in the planning phase.
- Use artificial intelligence and iterative drafting to create realistic decision points.
- Develop relatable protagonists to connect with your learners.
- Combine teaching and intrinsic feedback for effective learning.

“What does this have to do with me?” This is a question learners often ask when attending training or online learning. Many instructional designers get stuck when faced with boring or dense content. Often, training feels disconnected from learners’ day-to-day work. Because learners see it as irrelevant, they are less likely to remember their training and less willing to change their behavior. You need a way to help learners see the relevance of the training so they can improve performance.
