Based on my experience and what I noticed, I have created several solutions that can improve the efficiency of your work or give some suggestions to your current project. The solutions mentioned in this article to increase the efficiency of L&D are primarily related to educational design, project management, and technical writing activities. Let’s get started!
Improve L&D efficiency through educational design
Educational design requires organization, creativity and efficiency. There are several solutions to improve your work efficiency.
Voice over
Easily use the new AI voiceover feature or speech tools from additional narration and text. Previously, after the authoring tool, we had to include other tools for voice over. Now, this new feature offers better quality than before and makes your life easier as you can work with a single tool.

Project Management: Organizing Workflows
Project management requires structure, organization, clarity, communication and efficiency. Here are some solutions to improve your work efficiency:
Project timeline
Learning Project Managers work primarily with educational designers, small businesses, and possibly facilitators/trainers, depending on the project. Some of the best known methodologies used are Addie and Sam. Both help you create and organize your timeline. Addie Methodology has four phases: Analyze 15% completion depending on the design including the depth of analysis, design including the design including 30% completion, and implementation including 35% completion, and 20% completion. SAM methodology has three phases: preparation, iterative design, and iterative development.
plan
Planning is also important when a timeline is created and all the activities and owners are known. This helps to improve work efficiency based on all project activities, and is a very useful tool to properly track tasks, and everything goes on time for teams to receive task reminders There are very useful tools to make sure that you are.
feedback
Both educational designers and project managers need to provide feedback on various materials and courses of study. Finding the right words can be difficult to maintain objectivity. Having a template on how to provide quick and diplomatic feedback can increase feedback efficiency. [mention area for improvement]because this could be strengthened [explain why it matters]. The suggestion may be [suggest a possible improvement]. Please let us know if you have any questions. ”
Learning goals
These can be provided by subject experts, project managers or educational designers. Bloom’s taxonomy helps you create accurate and fast learning goals by creating, synthesizing, analyzing, applying, understanding and remembering six levels.
Analysis is required
Below are some questions you can use before starting your project: It is important to identify course/project needs and to recognize deliverables, scope and resources. If you already have a few questions, you can identify them faster.
What is the desired outcome? What is the deadline for completing the project? Who are the important people involved and what role do they each have? What communication channels do you use for updates and questions? Is there a dedicated platform that lets me monitor my progress? How often do you hold review meetings? What are your main deliverables? Are there any desirable checklists to complete the deliverable? Some essential steps to follow? Do you provide certification or certification? What tools and technologies are available to support the delivery of learning programs? How do you measure learning outcomes?
Improved technical writing and efficiency for L&D
Technical writing requires accuracy, clarity and efficiency. There are several solutions to improve your work efficiency.
Task Planning
This helps technical writers create content calendars, plan content deliverables ahead of time, and avoid last-minute tasks.
Calibration
Check grammar, spelling, style and make any necessary modifications to improve your content.
