Week 8 - Educational experts develop strategies and techniques

Week 8

Educational experts develop strategies and techniques to provide the best instructional strategies for learning. These strategies are grounded in the research of learning theorists and various methods of acquiring knowledge. In this assignment, you will identify activities for your training program that align with Gagne’s Nine Events of Instruction. You will then begin to outline your training program.
