Engaging learners during compliance training is a challenging task. Training is a crucial component to developing your organization’s employees, but if the material isn’t relevant and engaging, learners will struggle to retain key concepts and complete each course in a timely manner.

Training administrators need to understand how learners prefer to learn and design courses that match their learning styles. In the financial services industry, courses that feature real-world scenarios specific to each learner’s roles will help them complete learning quicker with better results.

In this webinar, we will highlight the fundamentals of instructional design and how to create engaging, effective learning experiences. We will provide an overview of the instructional design process, best practices for developing engaging material, how to utilize media to boost engagement, and more! Whether you're new to instructional design or looking to improve your skills, this webinar will provide you with a solid foundation.

• Utilize multi-media including images, audio, and video
