Abstract
As stated in Chapter 1, message design is all around us, from the presentations we see in meetings and classes, to the instructions that come with our latest tech gadgets, to multi-million-dollar training simulations. The instructional message design field of study pulls from many applied sciences, including cognitive psychology, industrial design, graphic design, instructional design, information technology, and human performance technology, to name just a few. In this chapter, we will visit several adult learning theories and examples that guide our research into adult learning, look at different real-world instructional message designs for adult learners, and discuss directions for future best practices. Learning about effective instructional message design tools and techniques has been and will continue to be a critical aspect of the overall instructional design process. This chapter will serve as an introduction to instructional message design for adult learners and further awaken the desire for learners to explore and implement tools when designing messages for adult learners.
