About Dan Strizak
Instructional Designer and Consultant with 7+ years of experience helping instructors reach a larger audience through engagement and differentiation tactics. Education isn\'t about what you teach, but how your learners can access it.I hold a firm belief that education is a right, not a privilege and should be accessible to all, not just those who take less time to develop. I am a passionate gamer and love learning about engagement tactics through gamification. Ever wonder why we can spend hours farming for a pair of gloves, but doing the dishes is a chore? Me too!Outside of work I\'m a fiber artist, teacher, and designer who loves to play with yarn and create whatever comes to mind. Nothing is more fun than exploring your passions, and I bring this philosophy into my instructional design through storytelling and discussions. When I create a learning experience I insist on:• Driving engagement through experience and scenarios• Ensuring accessible language to a diverse level of learning abilities• Assessments which go beyond recall; Expecting learners to actually apply what they learn• Show a clear path towards new behaviors, attitudes and long-term change• Demonstrating the impact new knowledge on their environmentI have experience creating eLearning, ILT/vILT trainings, job aids, and other educational materials in safety, employee and manager development, and change management strategies.
