Writing like an instructional designer
Consider The Power of Writing styles
- Expository: clarify and explain detailed concepts and processes (communicating clearly)
- Creative: engage and captivate (my writing character and flair, think Stewart Lee or Signal36/Basecamp writing style).
- Persuasive: the why of writing (motivator and persuader, think Martin Luther King or Ghandi)
- Technical: accuracy, conciseness and expertise
Follow Some Key Instructional Design Principles:
- engage
- state objectives
- relate
- interact
- inform
- demonstrate
- analyse
- apply
- feedback
