Who Can Use These Workshop Packs?

The workshop packs are designed for trainers, people managers, entrepreneurs, or business owners who want a consistent way to facilitate workshops without needing to create training content from scratch. If you're satisfied with your current training workshops and workload, this opportunity may not be a fit for you.

Can I Run Workshops With Zero Experience?

Absolutely - in fact, trainers, people managers, and business owners who've never run business and leadership development workshops before often get the best results because they want to follow a 100% done-for-you workshop format. Our workshop packs were initially designed for beginners with no prior experience in the field. We provide you with everything you need to facilitate our workshop packs, showing you exactly what to cover, what to focus on, and which workshop content to use. There's no business speak, no complicated contracts - just straightforward workshop packs that anyone can both follow and facilitate.

Are There Budget-Friendly Options?

Yes - that's precisely why we created ways to save you time, money, and effort. The workshop packs start at $10 each when you take advantage of our special offer. Unlike other training course material providers that assume you have thousands to "play around with”, our approach is specifically designed for individuals and businesses with fixed budgets. We've seen endless trainers and business owners start with minimal investment and scale to offering multiple workshop packs - without costing a fortune.

Can I Edit The Packs?

Yes! Everything is created in Microsoft Office, allowing you to easily edit, rebrand, and deliver the workshop packs as needed.

How Quick Is The Setup?

The initial basic setup takes about 5 minutes to download the training content and add your logo. After that, any workshop management requires adding company-specific details to ensure results meet the needs of your audience.

Our customers typically spend very little time maintaining workshop packs, giving you back precious time to do what you love.

Have you ever felt overworked, stressed or overwhelmed while developing training instructional materials?

I know I have.

One of the reasons I started Oak Innovation was to provide the instructional materials that I wish I had access to when I was starting out. And what you are going to read below is a quick insight into the world of instructional materials.

I wish when I was beginning my career that I had access to the sorts of instructional materials that are so instantly available these days.

If you have ever wondered about using instructional materials and if they are right for you, you are going to gain some insights! I cover what are instructional materials, and I share simple examples of instructional materials.

What are instructional materials?

I started my company in 1995 and I’ve been working in this space for a long long time now. And, from day one, I’ve been fascinated on working how best to create and combine instructional materials to create the best learning experiences for course delegates.

Here’s the thing. Developing instructional materials is HARD, right? And it’s so easy to get lost in all the content that you think you need to have. Others make it look so easy so it’s important to have a strong definition to guide you initially. From there you can break things down to something that may suit your situation more.

To illustrate, Muraina, (2015) defines instructional materials as:

“… the human and non-human materials and facilities that can be used to ease, encourage, improved and promote teaching and learning activities. They are whatever materials used in the process of instruction. They are a broad range of resource which can be used to facilitate effective instruction. They indicate a systematic way of designing, carrying out and employing the total process of learning and communication and employing human and non-human resources to bring out a more meaningful and effective instruction. They are human and non-human material that a teacher uses to pass information to the learner in his/her class.”

I’ve come to understand that instructional materials are an umbrella term for all materials that have been created for use by course delegates and their instructors as instruction or learning resources to aid delegates in their acquisition of knowledge, skills, and attitudes.

Examples of instructional materials.

One of the most common questions I get is what are the main examples of instructional materials. The answer always boils down to instructional materials can be printed or non-printed, auditory or visual, and may include textbooks, presentation materials, other experiential materials, and online tools.

To illustrate:

Print: Textbooks, handouts, study guides, manuals, readings, outlines, lesson plans, handouts, online articles, and online resources.
Visual: Infographics, charts, photographs.
Audio: Podcasts, expert recordings.
Audiovisual: Slides, television, multimedia, YouTube, Vimeo, movies, and tv clips.
Electronic: Computers, e-learning, tablets.
Presentation Materials: PowerPoint slide deck, lecture notes, training manuals, case studies, delegate-created content.
Experiential: Expert interviews, guest speakers
Online Tools: Keynote, Prezi, LinkedIn SlideShare, Zoho Show, FlowVella, LibreOffice Impress, Ludus, PowToon, Speaker Deck, Visme, WPS Presentation, authorSTREAM, Genially, Canva, Beautiful.ai , Ahaslides.

To summarize, there are some great ways to access instructional materials that need to be put to amazing effect within companies these days. Remember, to focus on finding the right instructional materials both for you and your course delegates. If you do these two things, you’ll be delivering successful training courses on your own.
