Learning and Development experts are challenged by the task of creating and delivering content that is both engaging and informative. And while the time has come and gone for gimmicky strategies like “edutainment”, the demand for creativity in learning experiences remains steady. Creativity is a concept that is certainly difficult to bottle, but it is based on several key elements that can easily be built into your development phases. These elements include being open to new ideas, being playful with the content, generating lots of ideas, and testing them out to see what does and doesn’t work.
Much of this creativity comes from a certain way of thinking, heavily based in design. Design thinking signals a shift away from the traditional slide-based eLearning experiences toward techniques in storytelling and gamification, experimentation in new options for mobile learning, microlearning, video and VR/AR technologies. This has resulted in a fast and sometimes uncomfortable shift in the day-to-day work for an instructional designer, but the foundation in designing for the user is what supports and helps to nourish more engaging and creative learning programs.
