Welcome to this edition of Wavelength.
Ah…the cool breeze that floats in through my window to
wake me up has the soft touch of October. The breeze shall evolve
into wind, and its touch would chill my marrow…as we chug
towards December. Nothing ever remains the same, nothing! How I
long for those years when I welcomed the change with open arms,
when the rise and fall in temperature made me feel alive and not
apprehensive. I have changed. Today I frown at each little change
for I’ve learned to fear the unexpected. I have learned that
the skills that I have today may be worth nothing tomorrow, if I
don’t grow them with time.
But then some skills are timeless. They would always help,
no matter which direction you decide to steer your life into. Instructional
Design is one such skill; Communication is another. Communication
is about transfer of information and so it has deep-rooted family
ties with instructional design. This is also why we see that many
principles of instructional design can be used to enhance communication
effectiveness. This month’s article, “Effective Communication
– The ICI Method & The Four Rs of Message Composition”
simplifies the essence of effective communication for those who
would like to take their communication skills to the next level.
In the times of change, an effective communicator is an asset for
any organization.
In the previous edition of this newsletter, I had introduced
two new online courses for our trainer audience. Here’s a
quick recap:
The two courses that we have created to enchant our Trainer
audience are:
Here’s a quick overview of these two courses:

Online) Certificate Course:

These two courses have been designed and develop with the Trainer’s
existing competencies and learning needs in mind. They talk to you
trainer-to-trainer and connect instructional design or eLearning,
as the case may be, with your work. And what’s more is that
they build upon our learning from our previous online courses that
you’ve loved and admired so much; and thus, they shift the
bar of Wavelength’s quality higher than ever before.

Course:

Developer Certificate (FADC) Course:
