Good writing is an essential skill for instructional designers. It is also one of the lowest-budget and most impactful ways to improve your eLearning experiences.

In this video, we’ll go over my five writing tips for instructional designers. I gathered these tips both from my own experience creating content as an instructional designer and from common mistakes I have seen in the field.

The tips are:
1. Use a Conversational Tone: People learn better from a less formal writing style.
2. Use the Active Voice: This will make your writing clear and concise.
3. Show, Don’t Tell: Use imagery to help the reader “see” what you are describing.
4. Use Commas Correctly: Commas add clarity to your sentences.
5. Use Simple Language: Keeping your vocabulary and grammar simple helps your message stand out.

I also added quizzes so that you can test yourself as we move through the video. :)

As always thank you for your support!
