Deliverables For successful instruction, you’ll need to develop:
An Instructor or Facilitator Guide
A Participant Workbook
Supporting Material, such as:
Job Aids (Checklists, Procedures)
Knowledge Check Questions and
Practical Exercises
PowerPoint Presentations
Handouts
A Resources List
A Reference Manual
Electronic copies of presentations,
software or simulations, or video
(with labels, cover pages and
packaging)
An Instructor Guide standardizes the training and ensures all learners consistently receive the same instruction during every instance of the course.
Tips1. Develop the Instructor Guide prior to
the Participant Guide, using the
content and resources identified
during the Design phase.
2. Use visual cues to draw the
instructor’s attention to tips,
warnings, and important points .
Instructor
Guide
The Instructor Guide should also include: The complete background information
for all exercises
Directions, outcomes, answers
(suggested responses and terminal
answers), and debriefing information
Tips
Ensure that the instructor notes
are complete and extensive so
that every instructor can teach
the course as the developers and
subject matter experts (SME)
intended.
Instructor
Guide
The Participant Workbook serves
multiple functions during a course:
Provides content and a glossary of terms
defining any jargon or acronyms
Provides space for note-taking
Allows for additional views of the visual
aids that are used in the virtual classroom
Contains directions for activities and
documents any additional material
required
Lists course resources
The format of the Participant Workbook is an instructional design decision and is based on the type of content, the visuals required and contractual requirements.

Job Aids
Doinclude graphical enhancements such as :
Screenshots Icons Flowcharts Spreadsheets Diagrams
TipDon’tuse clip art or graphics that don’t aid understanding. In instructor-led training, these can distract attention.
Supporting
Material
Checklists and step-
by-step instructions
or workflows may
be compiled into a
short document
and laminated to
be pinned up and
easily followed at
the workplace.
Color can
enhance the
job-aid.
Lamination will
protect it.

Outcomes
With ILT, time is of the essence. Provide training for what the learner needs, can relate to, and can directly apply in the workplace for improved performance.
In today’s training environment, ILT solutions need to be interactive. Classes may include hands-on, task-oriented learning, team-building, case studies, and learn-by-doing exercises that engage the learner.
Practical
Exercises
ASSESSMENTS
Role-play, skill practice, case studies and other experiential work provides an opportunity for the instructor and the participant to assess comprehension and relate the training content to work-related scenarios.
TipsDo Include a copy of all case studies,
exercises, problems, and simulations in both the Instructor Guide and the Participant Workbook.
Standards
If you need to provide a Reference Manual, make sure that the course is designed to use it.
By the end of the classroom sessions, the participants should be: thoroughly familiar with the manual, and able to use it effectively in the workplace
as a reference tool
Tips
Do Include all the technical details the
instructor will need to provide in the ILT session
Provide all the formulae, code, text or additional information that the participant might need to solve problems
