Introduction:
The objective of the study was to assess if improvement of the learner experience could be achieved through the use of instructional design strategies in current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP) training. This is a novel application in a topic that is known to be boring but is critical to ensuring patient safety.
Methods:
An experimental randomized controlled repeated measures cross-over design was utilized in a sample of pharmacy students to determine the effect of an intervention training strategy (which utilized a mix of strategies including weeding, signaling, use of multimedia, and optimized space and type) on the learner experience (Evaluation, Overall Satisfaction, Perceived Knowledge, and Future Recommendation) compared with a control.
Results:
The sample of 52 pharmacy students that participated evaluated the intervention training strategy with higher scores than the control, with better overall satisfaction, perceived knowledge, and future recommendation scores than the control training strategy. Thus, an apparent effect which resulted from the use of instructional design strategies was seen for all learner experience variables (p < .01).
Conclusion:
Improvement in the learner experience can be achieved by using instructional design strategies in cGMP training. This indicates that similar results could be obtained in other topics where such techniques have not yet been applied.

Cognitive Learning
E. C. Tolman's theory of purposive behavior emphasizes that much behavior is goal-directed. He argued that to understand behavior, we must look at the entire sequence of actions leading to a goal. For instance, high school students study hard, not just due to past reinforcement but also to achieve the goal of getting into a good college.
Tolman introduced the idea that behavior is influenced by...
