RRID Principles

  1. Align the outcomes. Link the training process to training outcomes to job performance to business results (or external goals).
  2. Enlarge your toolkit. Support training with other appropriate performance-improvement interventions.
  3. Design infiltrates delivery channels. Apply the same evidence-based design principles to different formats and media.
  4. Be Authentic.  Use authentic tests, activities, and examples.
  5. Be spontaneously systematic.  Combine, omit, and rearrange instructional design steps.
  6. Build the airplane while flying it.  Design training while delivering it.
  7. Don’t reinvent the wheel.  Save the activity; change the content.
  8. Wrap the content inside an activity.  Design activities to incorporate existing content.  Present content before the activity (as briefing), during the activity (as coaching), or after the activity (as debriefing).
  9. Line them up.  Align content, activities, and test items to each other. And align all of these elements to the business results (or external goals).
  10. Let the inmates run the asylum.  Empower the participants to create content and conduct activities.
  11. All together, now.  Require and reward collaborative learning.
  12. Be a sage by the side.  Facilitate activities instead of presenting content.  And know your subject matter.
  13. Don’t stop — ever.  Keep continuously improving, updating, and modifying the training package.
