Is the instructional designer an e-learning chameleon?
The health crisis has reinforced teleworking and, as a result, distance learning. This requires us to rethink the design of a training course and the contribution that everyone makes to it from start to finish. This process can take time, and that's why the Didask authoring tool allows you to take on 3 essential roles. At the same time a pedagogical engineer, content director and graphic designer, you become a real e-learning chameleon, for more speed and efficiency!
Whether it's traditional in-person training or an online learning journey, the instructional designer takes on the fundamental mission of transforming raw information into truly transformative learning experiences. With method and rigor, he designs the complete architecture of the training project, precisely defines the learning objectives and selects the optimal teaching methods, constantly keeping the learner at the heart of his approach, regardless of initial resistance or expectations in the face of the learning process.
To develop a coherent and effective vocational training path, the multimodal instructional designer and the business expert must establish a synergistic collaboration. While the former meticulously analyzes the needs in terms of skills acquisition and training engineering, the latter prioritizes and reformulates the technical content essential to achieve the defined educational objectives.
Although the combination of educational engineer/business expert is the traditional configuration, the Didask platform revolutionizes this classical approach:
Our methodology structures your educational thinking, whether you work individually or in a team, by allowing you to focus your attention on priority learning objectives, eliminate non-essential information and select instructional formats that are perfectly suited to the specificities of your audience of learners.
In short, the Didask solution methodically guide your pedagogical approach to generate career paths 100% focused on the learner and their specific professional environment. Our authoring tool supports you in your training engineering work to quickly identify the objectifiable skills of your employees, by systematically focusing on fundamental elements. Situational exercises perfectly embody our learning model based on the changes in desired cognitive states, allowing the learner to precisely identify his mistakes in order to obtain measurable and lasting results.
💡 Good to know: Learning should not be conceptualized as a simple abstract theme, but as a targeted response to a specific organizational need (development of specific skills, behavioral evolution, transformation of professional practices). The quality of your instructional design should generate a lasting impact on your learners and encourage their deep engagement in the training process.
The educational designer, as a creator of digital content, methodically transforms the documents developed by the educational engineer (generally in Word or PowerPoint format) into functional, coherent and engaging e-learning modules. This work requires particular attention to the clarity of the information, the relevance of the explanations and the precision of the vocabulary used. It is important to note that this function can be performed effectively regardless of your initial area of expertise!
The Didask platform wisely guides you in selecting the optimal teaching formats for each training sequence, whether textual, visual or audiovisual content. It allows you to design interactive and qualitative e-learning courses without requiring prior technical or pedagogical skills. Thanks to the educational support integrated into our solution, you create Learning Apps captivating and transformative for truly effective learning, while fully exploiting your business expertise.
With a creative sensitivity, the multimedia instructional designer also assumes the responsibility of educational designer by creating personalized interfaces and striking visual elements, while rigorously respecting the organization's graphic charter. Traditionally, this dimension would require design skills or at least familiarity with specialized tools like Photoshop, InDesign, or Illustrator. This function also requires excellent collaborative and organizational skills. However, it is important to note that the instructional designer is not necessarily a professional graphic designer.
Fundamental element : The graphic dimension and visual design are essential components for developing truly impactful online training modules. These elements embody organizational identity, its distinctive culture, core values, and specific ways of operating. These visual resources enrich all of your training content, transforming them into dynamic and engaging educational activities.
The scientific methodology integrated into the Didask solution makes it possible to design simulation exercises illustrated by clear and relevant visual representations, which effectively direct the learner's attention to the essential elements. In concrete terms, the Didask authoring tool considerably simplifies graphic design work and facilitates the creation of exercises that are contextualized visually. Thanks to its predefined templates and its intuitive graphic selection features, you can visually enrich all of your modules and courses with remarkable simplicity. This decisive step ensures a personalized and engaging learning experience, perfectly aligned with the contemporary expectations of learners in terms of digital training. This approach also makes it possible to significantly clarify your educational messages and the essential information you want to transmit, thus optimizing the process of assimilating knowledge.
Educational engineering is now entering a transformative era thanks to artificial intelligence. As cognitive science research shows, personalized tutoring represents the most effective learning method for leading learners to complete mastery of the targeted skills. The educational AI developed by Didask precisely makes this personalization a reality on a large scale, fundamentally revolutionizing the online learning experience.
This educational artificial intelligence goes far beyond the simple function of answering questions to become a real coach throughout the professional training course:
This scientific approach ensures that each pedagogical interaction truly activates the learner's learning potential rather than creating a passive dependency on the tool. AI thus becomes an essential partner for the educational designer, considerably amplifying its impact and allowing continuous training that is perfectly integrated into the daily professional context.
The design of effective e-learning training requires a complex set of complementary skills and expertise. The Didask authoring tool, without replacing the fundamental work of a pedagogical engineer or trainer, methodically accompanies you at each stage of the creation of innovative and efficient digital training, with remarkable fluidity and simplicity.
Our solution allows you to simultaneously embody the three essential dimensions of modern educational engineering - instructional designer, content creator, and designer - in total autonomy, to identify the fundamental knowledge to be transmitted and to design learning experiences that are rich, personalized, and truly transformative.
