Read the first 7 Instructional Design & Delivery Methods flashcards as text

  1. A trainer notices that half the class learns best by reading and writing, while others prefer kinesthetic activities. Which instructional design principle addresses this challenge?

    Answer: Universal Design for Learning (UDL)

    UDL provides multiple means of representation, engagement, and expression to accommodate diverse learners.

  2. Which delivery method is MOST appropriate when a trainer needs to reach 500 geographically dispersed employees simultaneously with identical compliance content?

    Answer: Synchronous webinar

    A synchronous webinar allows a single trainer to deliver identical content to large, dispersed audiences in real time.

  3. In Gagné's Nine Events of Instruction, 'providing learning guidance' comes immediately after which step?

    Answer: Presenting the stimulus (content)

    Gagné's sequence moves from presenting content directly into providing guidance to help learners process and encode new information.

  4. A CPT is designing a course using the SAM (Successive Approximation Model). What distinguishes SAM from traditional ADDIE?

    Answer: SAM uses rapid iterative prototyping rather than a linear process

    SAM emphasizes short, iterative cycles of design-build-evaluate, allowing faster course development and continuous refinement.

  5. Which questioning technique should a trainer use to encourage deeper thinking about a scenario rather than a factual recall answer?

    Answer: Probing questions

    Probing questions push learners to expand, justify, or reflect beyond an initial surface-level response.

  6. A trainer is delivering content through case studies followed by small-group discussion. This method PRIMARILY develops which type of learning?

    Answer: Analytical and problem-solving skills

    Case studies with discussion challenge learners to analyze situations, evaluate options, and apply principles to realistic problems.

  7. When selecting media for a training program, which factor should a CPT prioritize FIRST?

    Answer: Alignment with learning objectives and audience needs

    Media selection must first serve the learning objectives and learner characteristics before logistical or personal factors are considered.
