- How to recognize when training is built for delivery rather than performance
- How to apply core adult learning principles to instructional design
- How to build contextual learning based on real tasks and work environments
- How to use AI to support learning design instead of automating weak approaches
Special perks for attendees:
- A certificate of attendance from iSpring
