L&D School: Online learning module
The didactic architect
How can I develop high-quality didactic concepts without in-depth experience?
Fortunately, designing high-quality didactic training courses does not require years of study and, thanks to the Didactic Architect, years of previous didactic and conceptual experience.
This is because it is based on practical experience for practical use and thus guides you through a concept that creates watertight, high-quality training courses from the learner’s point of view, regardless of studies and experience.
