Design and Delivery of Instruction  

Instructional Design
In a nutshell, instructional design is systematically planning and designing learning. When done well, it is a process that starts with analysis of learning needs and goals and ends with a product (a course) that meets individual and organizational learning needs. LearnSmith can design instruction in fully face-to-face and fully online  environments, or environments that are the best of both - a hybrid.

Learning Facilitation
The core goal of facilitation is creation of learning environments and activities that promote objectives of mutual benefit to individuals and the organization. Learning interventions offered by LearnSmith apply learning theories and best practices to engage learners in active and authentic learning experiences.

Evaluation
LearnSmith employs evaluation to improve learning, the learning experience, and achievement of individual and organizational goals. Evaluation of learning through effective measurement informs strategies for continuous improvement of the design and delivery of instruction as well as derived return on investment.

LearnSmith will work with you to:
> Conduct a needs assessment to identify specific learning goals
> Map course to curriculum outcomes
> Design and build instruction for business, k-12, or university settings
> Design job aids and "how to" instructions - from software to soft skills
> Design for f2f, online, and blended modalities
> Conduct instructional diagnostics i.e. what's happening in the classroom
> Measure learning, learning perception, and learner experience
