Part 2: From Training Design to Open Educational Resources

In Part 1, you designed your training as a system — grounded in context, aligned with intended change, and structured for learning in practice.

Now you shift from designing training to making that design usable beyond a single delivery.

Well-designed training is not enough if it:

  • depends on you being present to work
  • cannot be reused without redesign
  • cannot be adapted to new contexts

Part 2 focuses on turning your training into open, adaptable, and reusable resources.

This means creating materials that:

  • can be understood without additional explanation
  • can be reused and adapted by others (and your future self)
  • can travel across contexts while remaining meaningful

By the end of Part 2, you will be able to:

  • Make your training materials clear enough to be used without additional explanation
  • Apply open practices — reuse, adaptation, creation, licensing, and sharing — to extend the reach of your training design
  • Prepare materials that can travel across contexts while remaining meaningful
  • Plan realistic approaches to sustaining and improving your materials over time

This is not about perfection or completeness.

It is about making your work a little more usable, a little more shareable, and a little more adaptable each time you iterate.

👉 You are not starting over. You are working with what you designed in Part 1 and extending its reach.
