Does instructional design take too much time in developing e-learning? On the other hand, are you also uncomfortable with Rapid Prototyping because, while it saves time, you don't want another page-turning module that bores learners?
After development, can you sell the training? Are your learners and managers receptive to this new method of learning?
Mark Steiner believes that instructional design needs to be married with software development to build effective e-learning applications. In a practical and relevant session, he will describe Rapid Prototyping and explain how to take advantage of the best features of both instructional design and Rapid Prototyping.
Participants will also learn the key obstacles to selling e-learning and how to overcome them. You need to speak the language of your e-learning users. Understand their concerns. And be prepared when a manager asks, "Yes, I need your solution. But ultimately I need you to tell me how your learning intervention will impact my bottom line."
Jeanette Kersten will conclude the session with a brief overview of the MS in Training and Human Resource Development - Cohort Program at the University of Wisconsin, Stout.
