Each unit was developed independently of the other four. This template, in conjunction with guidance and oversight from the instructional designer helped to ensure cohesion between units while allowing facilitators to add their personal touch to their assigned subjects.

Educational Tabletop Games Training (View Here)

This presentation was delivered in-person as part of an elective continuing education program. Learners were first asked to list educational games with which they had personal experience. This segued into a conversation about the effectiveness of games in engaging learners, sparking flow, and promoting retention. Next came a review of the principles of both game and learning design, supported with examples. Finally, learners were able to begin designing their own educational game with support from their classmates and facilitator.

Guiding Principles Worksheet (View Here)

This worksheet, created with digital interactivity, was designed to supplement a training inspired by John C. Maxwell’s discourse on values. Learners were first asked to take three minutes to select five values they most related to. Then, after a group discussion about their selections, they took one minute to narrow their choices to three before finally, being asked to quickly choose one value they feel represents them best. The exercise closes with a discussion on how to use these values strategically as a filter for their interactions with others in both personal and professional settings.
