What is Generative Strategies

This case describes the instructional design process of a workbook accompanying a four-day infection prevention and control global training. Working closely with global health professionals, the instructional designer assessed the needs, the attitudes of learners, and conducted a task analysis of the training content. Subsequently, she designed instructional strategies with special attention to cognitive load, sequencing, and generative learning. Then she created formative and summative assessment strategies and developed a prototype for testing. This case explores how the instructional designer collaborated closely with the global health team to review the content material of the training and design the workbook accordingly.
