6 Decisions to Make When Designing Online Software Training - Sept. 12, 2018
​3rd Quarter Meeting

Whether you are rolling out a new time-and-attendance system, upgrading your accounting software, or sharing the best tips and tricks on Microsoft Excel, e-learning can be a great way to get software training out to the people in your organization.  But how do you approach such a project? At this meeting, Diane Elkins will guide you through six key design decisions you’ll need to make when creating online software training.  You’ll tackle everything from deciding if you should teach just the procedural steps or teach underlying business rules and concepts... to how to structure practice activities that provide just enough support to your learners. Specifically, you’ll tackle the following questions:
  • Do You Teach Just the Procedures...or More?
  • What Can You Cut?
  • Are You Targeting New or Existing Users?
  • How Will You Incorporate Practice and Reinforcement Activities?
  • How Much Instruction Do You Provide Before a Practice or Assessment?
  • How Much Help Do You Provide in the Feedback?
You’ll get to see real, live examples of these options (in Storyline, in Captivate, and in Camtasia), so you can get a real sense of what the learner experience would be like and how that approach might work in your environment.
