Methodology

The diagram above shows the methodology for developing effective learning content that I use in my work with clients. I particularly focus on Steps 1, 2, 3 and 5 in my work with clients.

The key points of the methodology include:

  • developing clarity about the target audience and their needs
  • thinking through how learners are going to effectively engage with content and how they can be helped to meet their learning objectives
  • making sure that the best structure for the content is used
  • developing and iterating until the process is complete.

Of course, the decision to develop learning content comes at the end of a longer decision-making process.

Services offered

I provide a wide range of services. They include:

  • a full implementation of the methodology outlined above
  • joint planning of a book or course’s structure, focusing on the core knowledge structures to be used, a mapping of the structure and options for content sequencing
  • feedback on a proposed structure or draft text
  • development of content structure maps showing how a book or course works as a system (these are much more useful for learners than just providing a list of contents)
  • work on diagrams (this can include the creation of diagrams from your instructions as well as diagram coaching where you do most of the work but I provide some guidance and assistance)
  • development of conceptual models
  • creation of summaries
  • development of implementation strategies for skill development books and courses to make it much more likely that learners will put in the work and get results.

I can work with creators at all stages of the development process from initial planning through to near-completion.

And you can hire me for short 1-hour consultations as well as for more in-depth work.

I am also interested in talking to publishers who are exploring how to create non-fiction books that readers can learn more effectively from.
