Summary

Instructional
Design Principles:
MindLeaders training is based on sound principles from research in
instructional design, adult learning, and information processing.
MindLeaders believes that for training to be effective, the learner
must view the training as meaningful and relevant.
The learner must be engaged as an active participant.
Curriculum
Structure:
A MindLeaders curriculum is divided into courses, which are divided into
units. Each unit consists of
a well-defined set of learning objectives, a series of interactions that
teach the stated objectives, and a means for evaluating whether the
learning objectives have been met.
Instructional
Design Strategy:
At every stage of MindLeaders course development (analysis, prototyping,
production, and quality assurance), MindLeaders applies specific
principles and training models to the creation of effective courseware.
Delivery:
For courses to teach, they must be accessible in a variety of contexts and
environments. For this
reason, MindLeaders makes its courses playable in almost any circumstance.
