Focusing on procedural knowledge

If you wanna focus on packaging your knowledge in a way that actually feels actionable, then you are going to want to focus on the procedures and leverage that as valuable in the moment.

This will be your action steps. It’s literally the “how” to whatever you’re proving you learned, and whatever it is that’s being studied and taught. For many it presents itself in the form of a guide or manual. You’re gonna focus less on concepts and mechanics of the topic.

This typically is supposed to be presented later on in your teaching campaign. That’s true because you also will likely include jargon and other technical terms that make everything more specific.

Using Small, Incremental Steps

The next step to packaging your knowledge in a way that feels more actionable is by putting your action points into small, incremental steps.

This ties in more with the last point in where you continue to stay in the zone of providing actionable steps.

It’s still the “how” but now it’s broken up more and managed at a level where you as the person who creates controls the rate of learning in this case.

Small and incremental steps become incredibly useful if you’re looking at things through a business lens.

You get to stretch the campaign to something that holds the attention of your audience for more just a singular lesson or message.

It becomes something that the people who tune in have to continue following to get the full benefits of your information.

Implement “if-then” triggers

The next step that we’re going to take for packaging your knowledge is through implementing more “if-then” triggers.

Your “if-then” triggers usually relate to your conceptual messages.

When you’re focusing on sharing knowledge in a polished way, there’s a timeline of expected gems you’re going to be sharing.

You’re typically doing this part in between the beginning to middle and near the end (sometimes after) the entire lesson is finished.

You should understand this better if you’re aware that you already shared technical terms and sometimes even examples to support your claims.

Using Concrete Examples

Another way to package your knowledge is through using concrete examples.

Otherwise known as case studies in most educational settings, they’re highly effective when paralleling your messages.

I personally prefer this method because it bridges misunderstanding in creative ways.

It’s going to take an understanding of modern pop culture and sometimes history in general to pull this tactic off well.

It leverages what happened already with what you can eventually explain will happen eventually in the future.

Visual representations

There’s something powerful about a visual aide when you’re trying to get a point across.

It was a method that I believe kept me engaged when I was in my elementary years of school.

I went to a private school and the lessons would be what I’d consider more complex of a concept to stick with, especially on an academic level.

Visuals just continued to prove itself to be useful with the likes of several things that would advance.

We can look at documentaries that would go on to be shot in a way that made learning fun.

Incredible visuals just seems to be priority for most productions.

Since learning doesn’t go out of style, it inherits the task of having visuals match the information, no matter what it is.

Create interactive formats

Our last method that could be employed to package your knowledge is through creating interactive formats for students to engage with!
