Shaping the information you share
We can learn anything with the right approach.
The right approach isn’t the same for everyone. Sometimes you need multiple tactics.
Do you need:
-
an article
-
technical documentation
-
courseware
-
a screencast
-
something else?
We start with breaking a topic down into simple ideas. Then we figure out how to bring those ideas together, to build a more in-depth understanding in this first step.
Striving to create situations to minimize context switching, taking time to review concepts in playful and engaging ways, reviewing topics in a non-tedious way, and create examples that are useful in real-world applications is the next thing we look at.
Identifying topics to investigate with a deep dive, and finding the right medium for that discussion is the next step.
Repeating these steps to create a library of content to flesh out topics and ideas.
Finally, finding a logical way to structure topics to build a course of study. Reviewing topics, approaches, expanding on areas that need a little more attention.
This is our approach to learning, and it’s only the beginning.
Teaching and getting feedback and questions from students learning from the materials produced, fine-tuning the content and expanding it to fit the needs of your audience.
What story does your article / documentation / lesson / screencast / class tell?
Every procedure has a story. Is your documentation compelling?
