Turn Training Text Into Engaging Learning ModulesMatthew Zellner
Every company has training needs. Why not turn that text into engaging learning modules?
Incorporating a professional background in education and instructional design with an undergrad degree and lifelong interest in intercultural studies, I am ready to provide your company the ramp and build the steps from where a challenge appears now up to its training-based solution.
What's included
Clearly Defined Objectives
After collecting and analyzing data about your company's trainees, their tasks, and possible challenges, I will discuss with your company's SMEs what key performance indicators can be improved. From there, a few precise objectives will be devised for use in training, aiming to optimize and evaluate outcomes.
Course Storyboard
With objectives in place, a PowerPoint-based storyboard will be designed to lay the groundwork for an interactive training module based upon your company's needs and desired styling. At this level, the color scheme, sorts of knowledge checks and learner activities, number of total slides, kinds of multimedia, and other considerations are established.
Facilitator Guide (for synchronous computer-based training)
As an option, if the planned computer-based training (CBT) will be delivered via an instructor, a facilitator guide can be drawn up to assist this person in leading the training sessions for individuals or groups of staff members. This would include introductory and background material intended to be conveyed to the trainees as well as directions for the instructor(s) to implement various module activities.
Learning Management System-Ready Training Module
Ready to be slotted into your company's LMS, a computer-based training module will be built and tested. This will serve as a means to address the original objectives by providing awareness, evaluation, and engagement regarding the performance or knowledge targets.
FAQs
This depends on the particulars of the training needed. Narrow goals may consist of only one objective and a few slides that can be produced in a week or two. Wider goals, with many components or consisting of complex subject matter, may take multiple months. This would be discussed during the initial meeting.
tl;dr - Technically yes, but it's not ideal and can lead to suboptimal results.
While older authoring tools, such as Adobe Captivate Classic or iSpring Suite, transitioned PowerPoint slides to their software fairly seamlessly, modern platforms may have difficulty converting fonts and image placement exactly. In order to build interactive elements and translate current training most effectively into an RLO, I would recommend your providing me assets (images, sounds, text, etc.) from the current training material to recreate or renovate the PowerPoint slides rather than copy them over one-to-one. This allows for a better overall product.
Effective learning involves more than reading or rote memorization. Thus, learning modules can have gamified or animated elements within quizzes, buttons that open up various infographics, soundbytes and branching stories that reflect relatable trainee scenarios.
The more interesting one finds the training to be, the better outcomes the training will produce.
