August Webinar: ‘You, the Editor: Avoiding Common Task Design Pitfalls’ by Luiz Otávio Barros

Join Luiz Otávio Barros on 11 August at 13.00 (UK time) as he explores the editorial feedback he has received over the years to demonstrate how to avoid common task-design pitfalls. Luiz will show how small changes to wording, sequencing, and layout can make a significant difference to learning outcomes. Participants will leave the session with a practical checklist of common red flags, along with self-editing strategies they can apply when designing and developing their own materials.
