 Design and Development Process

1. Analysis:

   • Kirkpatrick’s Four-Level Training Evaluation Model: Guided the analysis and evaluation process to ensure the training would yield measurable results in terms of reaction, learning, behavior, and impact.

   • Needs assessment revealed the necessity for motivational content that appeals to diverse employee needs and career stages.

2. Storyboard Creation:

   • Designed the course using Gagne’s Nine Events of Instruction, ensuring clear objectives, engagement through relevance, and interactive elements to reinforce learning.

   • Theories were woven into the storyboard to give learners practical examples of abstract concepts.

3. Content Development:

   • Applied Dual Coding Theory by blending visuals with text to aid retention and understanding.

   • Included Self-Determination Theory principles within activities to foster autonomy, engagement, and intrinsic motivation.

4. Review and Feedback:

   • Pilot testing gathered data on learner engagement and knowledge retention, and Kirkpatrick’s Level 1 (Reaction) and Level 2 (Learning) feedback informed final revisions.

5. Implementation and Evaluation:

   • Uploaded the course on Docebo LMS, tracked metrics for completion and assessment, and used Kirkpatrick’s Levels 3 (Behavior) and 4 (Results) for ongoing impact evaluation.
