Job-Aid Design: Tips, Tricks, What to Include, How to Format?
Hello helpful instructional design & training peeps,
I've been working on designing a few job-aids lately and I was looking at templates and ideas for how to format it online when I though...
Not really a specific suggestion, but it always helps me to try to imagine myself as a frustrated user of whatever the job-aid is being created for. What would make me happy to see? What would get in the way? Should it be step-by-step, or a list of helpful items?
I really imagine myself seeing the job-aid, and what I would be looking for. That helps me to avoid the trap of a pre-defined template that might be easier to create, but may not quite be the thing the end user will find most helpful.
Then, make it blue. Blue always works.
