It looks like Larry was playing some type of Jeopardy-Game when the incident occurred.
So…for what type of content is a Jeopardy-
type game the most appropriate strategy?
Hmm, I think we need to learn more about
instructional strategies, I know just
who to ask.
We need to visit one of the toughest L&D folks I know. The Learning
Lady.
Yeah, she was a former school teacher. As wicked with the red pen as they come.
Oh, no I don’t.
It’s not “The Dinner.” It’s “The Diner.”

I can’t give you any more information. I have to go. To learn more, you must talk to…
Our conversation was over. She had to go.
“The King Pin.”
I need to know about instructional strategies.
I only know about Conceptual Content.
Start talk’n Bob.
Actually, I think I’d like you to call me King Pin.
I’m listening.
Concrete concepts are things you can touch, like a table
or a chair. Abstract concepts are things you can’t touch like
customer service or compliance.
Examples and non-examples of the concept.
Take the concept of a chair…what are the
attributes of a chair?
Metaphors
Being in compliance is as easy as following a recipe.
A metaphor transfers the sense or associations of one word or idea to
another.
The ADDIE Model is a road map.
Creating engaging instruction is like writing a mystery novel.

Look I am going to ask you a question about Procedural Content.
He was about as friendly as a ghost on Halloween with no one to haunt.
Strategy One: Part-to-Whole
De-construct the procedure, teach the
individual parts and then have the
learners put it back together again.
Strategy Three:
Why?
Teach the “Why”
behind a process
or a procedure to
provide the
context for
troubleshooting
and for
understanding the
steps.
Procedures are a bunch of “strung-together” concepts. If the learner is having problems with the
procedure, it might be they don’t understand the underlying concepts.

Before you and your loser friends …go, here is a pack of matches.
You might want to start a fire.
Or, it might be a clue.
This was it, she was going to tell me about the final content level and instructional strategies.
Have a seat.
Experts are different from novice learners because an expert can apply knowledge
learned from multiple experiences and adapt it to a new experience.
First let me tell you this.
So give learners: - Multiple, Realistic Scenarios (case studies)
- Problem-based Learning Experiences - Third-Person“Thinkers”
Ok so for what type of knowledge is a
matching game most appropriate?
She turned on her computer to show me an example…
Also experts solve problems by asking themselves different questions than novices.
Provide a list of prompts or questions to help trigger thoughts and question sets.
There is a list of questions in the folder I gave you. Did you even look? Ugh.
Create a learning documentary of how to do a job, how decisions are
made, how dots are connected.
Then she turned on the oldest TV I’d ever seen…to some Reality TV show…What was this? Appointment Television?
Show learners how experts think through problems and solve them.
It’s a “think aloud.”
Let’s see if we know some of the verbs before we check the folder.

Larry was playing some type of Jeopardy-Game –-a matching game. It

Here was the other clue….
It was starting to look like the case wouldn’t end so easily….
Wait. This case is not going to end so easily.
Did you see this afternoon’s paper?
I guess we should have checked for a

Find out what instructional strategy woke Larry. Rumor has it…it is not one that you
