Effective instructional design requires versatility across delivery methods. This facilitator guide demonstrates my ability to adapt asynchronous content for synchronous delivery while maintaining instructional effectiveness.
A comprehensive facilitator guide developed for CON7020 Lesson 1, transforming self-paced asynchronous online training into an instructor-led format. This supplemental exercise showcases structured facilitation methodology using Robert Gagne's Nine Events of Instruction.
This project demonstrates my ability to:
Adapt content across multiple delivery modalities
Apply established instructional frameworks (Gagne's Nine Events)
Create detailed facilitation materials with timing and logistics
Design engaging synchronous learning experiences
Maintain instructional integrity across different formats
Originally designed as self-paced asynchronous online training, I created this facilitator guide as a supplemental exercise to demonstrate how the same content could be effectively delivered in a synchronous classroom setting.
Original Format: Self-paced asynchronous online training
Adapted Format: Instructor-led synchronous training (~1 hour)
Framework Used: Robert Gagne's Nine Events of Instruction
Content Focus: Government review processes and team roles
