9. design considerations
Design Element Consideration
Content Discovery
Course Structure
Assessment
Event
Format
Uncover problem, not information
Problem progression, not modules
Consider the problem as an assessment or consider problem-
based assessments
Incorporate watch me, reflection and creation into the learning
experience to extend beyond the event (social learning)
A problem-based approach can apply to any training format

10. organizational considerations
Org Element Consideration
Culture
Learning and Manager
Expectations
Assessment
Technology
Methodology / Skills
Will the culture accept a change to problem-based learning?
How will you change learner/manager expectations and prepare
them for a different approach?
How is assessment currently viewed in the org and how will a
problem-based approach alter or challenge the current state?
Is you LMS prepared to track and report on problem-based
learning?
How can your learning team adapt to a problem-based approach
and what new skills will need to be developed?
