WORKSHOPS Monday, Sept 24th – Tuesday, Sept 25th 8:30 AM – 3:30 PM E-learning Fundamentals: The Steps to Success >>Are you tasked with creating e-learning in your organization and have never done it? >>Have you tried to create e-learning but found it to be a lot more complicated than you thought? >>Have you wondered why there is so much badly designed and developed e-learning out there? Whether you are new to e-learning or the appointed Guru, you may be surprised by how many decisions are to be made around migrat- ing to e-learning. In fact, take the right steps right from the start and deliver stellar e-learning that actually works. You can be the hero who managed to weave your way through the still live mines to get to the end result on time and under budget. You can have learners praise your name for delivering engaging, challenging experiences, free from the dreaded "Hit Next-Next-Next" Syndrome. In this workshop, we will focus on the practical steps to establishing, designing and developing e-learning. In the process, you will learn to: 1. Ask the three crucial questions at the very start 2. Form a checklist of important tasks that must be accomplished 3. Prototype and design an e-learning lesson - your own or one that will be provided 4. Decide which tools will help you best in developing your lesson 5. Develop your working lesson using one or more e-learning tools. This is not a lecture class. This is hands-on and you will be guided along the way. You can choose whether you want to work with a group of others or on your own, with expert assistance the whole time. If you have more than one person in your organization that wishes to participate, you can form your own group and focus on your specific objectives. LAPTOP REQUIRED. After two days you will walk away ready to go back to your or- ganization and hit the ground running!
