Are you validating your design choices throughout the design process? In a recent virtual classroom design project, we focused on validating the instructional methods chosen for the workshop. This step was crucial as we prepared for the development phase. When selecting methods, consider factors like variety, time, design effort, and learner experience. Before moving into development, validate your presentation, application, and feedback methods with colleagues. This ensures the methods you choose will be effective and engaging for learners.
