It’s difficult for people to contribute when they don’t know who each other is, so it’s a good way of introducing everyone to...

December 27, 2020Design, TDC Blogcopyright, materials designadmin

As training designers we often get into conversations about intellectual property and copyright of training materials. Most L&D professionals - especially independent ones - are very precious about their material and don’t want anyone else (not even their clients) to have it.

Why are training designers often asked to work for free? I know times are hard, but more and more freelance consultants are being asked to put in a CONSIDERABLE amount of design time into work that may or may not come off.

Why use Case Studies in Training?

November 1, 2020Design, TDC BlogCase Studiesadmin

I've long been a fan of using case studies in training events. But first, let’s clarify what I mean by a case study. I’m not talking about a retrospective account of something you (or someone else) did to demonstrate good practice. Leave those for the marketing people.
