• Determine critical design constraints.
• Write performance-based course objectives.
• Determine practice requirements.
• Select instructional methods, media, and tools to maximize engagement for all learners.
• Design instructional methods.
• Develop course materials.

Session 1

• A structured approach to planning training for a hybrid workforce.
• How to identify and document constraints specific to the different hybrid training strategies.
• How to assess the potential impact of design constraints on the project.
• Strategies to mitigate potential challenges.
• Techniques to conduct effective in-person and remote learner observations.
• Best practices to ensure equal access to training content, materials, and resources for all learners, regardless of location.

Session 2

• Helpful guidelines for determining practice requirements in a hybrid environment.  
• How to identify tasks that prevent performance-based practice in a hybrid environment.

• A quick method selection grid to expedite your hybrid method decisions.

Session 3

• A list of considerations and constraints when using media for each hybrid strategy.
• 5 ways you can leverage your existing virtual classroom tools for hybrid training.
• A process for designing effective presentation and application methods for a hybrid audience.
• Strategies for designing each method to ensure consistency for in-person and remote learners.
• How to provide clear instructions for monitoring learner participation, regardless of location.
• Tips for ensuring consistency through standardized materials and digital tools.
• Recommendations for tools that enable facilitator control, engagement monitoring, and cross-location collaboration.
• Strategies for using in-class or remote partners to support method execution.
• How to create a lesson plan for a hybrid environment.
• Recommendations for slide design and accessibility.

• All the worksheets, checklists, and forms in Microsoft® Word template format. Simply download the templates from your personal MyLangevin website.
• 90-day access to all recorded online sessions. 
• Free 1-year feedback service. Receive detailed feedback on your materials to help improve your courses. 
• One-time, free refresher training. Brush up on your skills by attending the same workshop a second time. (Note: attendee must be the same person, from the same company, as the original paid booking.)
• BONUS: Receive the How to Implement Hybrid Training e-learning module for free–a $299 value–when you attend both of these workshops: Designing Training for a Hybrid Workforce and Facilitating Training for a Hybrid Workforce.

Over the course of 3 consecutive days, you will learn how to design training for a hybrid workforce. Also, approximately 1 hour will be required for intersession work. BONUS! If you’d like additional practice, there will be a post-course application opportunity you can complete and submit for feedback.

Maximum Class Size: 15 participants (We limit class size to ensure maximum value and participation for our clients.)

• Log in to the Adobe Connect platform using the link that will be sent prior to your workshop.
• Expect an engaging, highly interactive, hands-on workshop with plenty of practice opportunities using breakout rooms, chat, polls, whiteboard annotation tools, etc.
• Review recordings of each session for up to three months after the workshop ends.
