I plan to share documents I use in an attempt to streamline my development. Anyone who stumbles upon my BLOG, please feel free to jump in and share/advise me and or others who visit.
My goal is to have an open community for those of us who love eLearning and strive to increase our knowledge, skill set and satisfy our end users.
My experience as an instructional technology graduate student was superb. I was fortunate to have great instructors and experience well designed online courses. My preparation did lack an important element--eLearning in the real world. For those of you in ISD, I am sure I read many of the same authors that you have. I did not encounter any research conducted within the corporate sector; all research was purely academic. Is this fair to graduate students?
I have found and read numerous texts which are not strictly academic. I think ISD programs are missing a key and crucial element. Many students will transition into corporations post graduation. Are they ready?
Do students learn:
- How to select a LMS
- What are the industry standard multimedia tools
- How to design a compelling interface that sustains attention and does not cause cognitive overload
- How to use branching
- How to incorporate gaming--cheap and fast
- How to create an eLearning project plan
- Conduct a user acceptance test
- Manage and incorporate project team feedback
- Use multimedia in case there is not a dedicated specialist on the team
- How to use white space effectively
