    7. Advanced Solutions Experts believe that although the learning design process is fluid and dynamic it is also systematic. Incorporating these processes allows for the identification of the correct problem and solution to match the problem. These processes are iterative and must be continuously evaluated.
  3. Solutions
    1. Learning
    2. Performance Support Solutions
    3. Organisational Communication Interventions
    4. Job Analysis/ Work Design Intervention
    5. This list is not exhaustive. Advanced Solutions Experts maintain the view that solutions should be closely looked at in terms of the problems and what are causing those problems to occur. In order to recommend any solution, there must be a strong learning design from the onset. Furthermore, we believe that solutions should be cost-effective and should bring a return on investment to the organisation and its stakeholders.

  7. These are the heart and the foundation of Learning Design. There is no single 'ingredient' that can facilitate learning. They should be selected based on the learning experience, types of learners and learning environment
  8. Models are systematic and iterative processes. They provide guidance on how to achieve instructional goals
  9. Possibly one of the most heavily discussed topics is whether media and technology influences learning. Advanced Solutions Experts opine that technology can be the driving force behind learning design. However, technology must be used intentionally backed with a purpose and follow objectives. Moreover, it should make allowances for being flexible and adaptive in every situation
  10. Effective Design for Advanced Solutions Experts means engaging learners so that knowledge acquisition and transfer can occur. To do this, we are avid proponents of tailoring the learning design to the unique needs of the intended learning outcomes and learning needs.
