 Our Approach to Instructional Design
At the outset of a project, a facilitated session is conducted with
the project stakeholders to understand key business objectives, business
processes, timeframes; to identify and validate important functional,
technical, integration and customization requirements; and to define the
final project scope. This results in the production of an initial detailed
project plan and budget as well as an instructional design.
The instructional design includes a set of
"Content
Maps" (one for each lesson), an e-learning application map, and,
if applicable, a Learning Management System (LMS) application map. These
maps help manage the scope of the project by outlining the scope of each
of the lessons and the expected functionality of the application.
Throughout the project, facilitated project meetings with the client
are conducted where the project plan and schedule is constantly reviewed
and updated to reflect milestones/deliverables achieved, dates projected
through to project completion, and highlights of any changes in project
scope and definition.
A unique collaborative strategy is used to handle any
gaps
in the content. This involves the videotape of facilitated interviews
with subject matter expert(s) to capture large volumes of content efficiently and
integrate it with any existing material already provided.
From the instructional design, detailed
storyboards
are developed, in collaboration with subject matter expert(s), which outline
navigation flow, interactive links and graphical references for each web
page. |
