What if crafting content doesn't always mean it becomes a class, course, or a video? What if instead, content is crafted to be tools that help people succeed on the job? When providing instructions and how-to content, job aids can be a valuable resource.

In this session we'll focus on why you should consider crafting job aids in addition to course content, or as a replacement sometimes. We’ll compare and contrast different methods to their creation and identify what an effective job aid is comprised of. While job aids come in a variety of formats and approaches, using good visuals can go a long way towards making them more successful. Time permitting, we'll brainstorm ideas for crafting your own job aids and other performance support tools, as well.‬‬
