Know your audience and write for them<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You can&#8217;t communicate effectively without knowing who your audience is. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For corporate training materials, you&#8217;re mainly presenting information to your colleagues. If they&#8217;re from the same department as yours, chances are they already understand most of the jargons, so you won&#8217;t need to refrain from using those.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, if you&#8217;re developing training materials for coworkers from a different department, or for new hires \u2014 make sure you scrutinize for technical\/industry language. Which brings us to our next point&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2. Use accessible, approachable language<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The best practice is to write your training materials to be understood at the 7th to 8th-grade level. Don\u2019t use overly big words. The wisest training content creators know that the goal is to inform, not impress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, you should also know to use jargons where they fit. If your audience is already used to using a certain amount of technical language, they&#8217;ll process those words more easily than simpler (or oversimplified) terms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3. Keep it short<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Punch up your training material by keeping it short and visually impactful. Too many words on a page dilute your message. Focus on the most important stuff and toss out the rest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is especially important for handouts or worksheets, which are two very popular types of training resources. Your colleagues rely on these documents as a memory refresher, so it&#8217;s best to keep them to the point and memorable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>4. Break it up<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When you do have a larger quantity of information to share, chunk it out into smaller chunks using headers and graphics to break up the flow.

Defining roles and responsibilities<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your training materials can help your team to understand what their job is and what is expected of them.

How can I develop more effective training materials?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are some tips to help you make more effective training materials:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Tell some stories<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Stories are a way to bring your training to life by engaging your audience\u2019s empathetic imagination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Telling real-world stories helps to improve audience buy-in. Not only will they be invested in it, but they\u2019ll also remember it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Don\u2019t talk down to your audience<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Take the time to understand what your audience knows about the topic and meet them there. If you misjudge them, you will come across as condescending. Not a good look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Don\u2019t explain things your&nbsp;training population doesn\u2019t need to know<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>What\u2019s the \u201cneed to know?\u201d Don\u2019t clutter up your training materials with stuff that doesn\u2019t need to be there. Be intentional in your design choices to make sure what you present is relevant and necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Rules on jargon<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Try not to use jargon that could be unfamiliar to some or all of your audience. If it helps, have a peer who doesn\u2019t do the job read your materials. They can help you identify jargon or other unclear terms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>If you feel that adding jargon is essential, you should always define it for your audience<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Either way, you must be consistent in your language and use the same term to mean the same thing throughout your training materials. This helps you create a shared language.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2. How&nbsp;can I&nbsp;create engaging training materials?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>While you must certainly know your audience, in most cases, a little humor wouldn\u2019t hurt. Sometimes, it can even help. Just be realistic about how funny you can get away with and take the high road. Not a time to be off-color or controversial. A joke or two about relatable problems in your industry, perhaps?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And finally, make it relevant. Have you ever found yourself absorb a new concept easily because it&#8217;s linked to something you already know? Or have you ever studied a theory much faster after doing several exercises based on it? This applies to training materials too. Come up with scenarios or exercises relevant to your colleagues&#8217; day-to-day activities and this can reinforce their grasp of your training, making it more engaging and memorable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You don\u2019t have to be a designer to create engaging, high-impact training materials for your organization.
