Whether you deliver in-person or remote training on theoretical/academic topics using a written format (e.g., slides), here’s a step-by-step guide to convert them into Didask exercises:

1/ Review your training material and identify the key messages you want to convey.


​For example, from this slide, one key message is: "Our cognitive biases influence the way we analyse the world around us."


2/ In your Didask project, match each message with a mistake learners might make.
​


3/ Refine the identified mistakes:

  • Group similar mistakes using arrows or drag-and-drop.

  • Eliminate any redundant ones.

4/ Once you have a set of at least 4 mistakes or expected changes on a similar theme, group them under a single module.

  • If necessary, move granules to a different module.

  • Keep in mind that each module should contain no more than 8 practical scenarios.

5/ For each mistake, create an exercise using the granule editor.

  • Here, step away from your original material

  • Imagine real-world situations where learners might make these mistakes.


6/ Use feedback, the key message, and explanations to add additional information derived from your slides.
