This course was created using sound instructional design principles and is specifically tailored to an e-learning environment, taking advantage of the latest tools in our e-learning platform to create a learning experience that is interactive, engaging, and effective.
While training will still contain some elements of instruction (lectures) with slides and voiceover, we also include a video window in which the learners can see the instructor’s face, and this makes the experience more personal. Additionally, where learners have their own webcams, we may allow learners to see each other as participants ask questions or provide input.
Additional interactivity is included through the ability to have online polls and quizzes throughout the Instructor-Lead eLearning course delivery. For example, to assess comprehension, participants may be asked to complete a short online quiz at the end of each course module. The results of these interactive polls and quizzes are immediately available to the facilitator who can use the data to address any gaps or areas of confusion.
Facilitators may also create online “breakout rooms” in which the online class is divided into smaller subgroups, with each group being given their own online discussion space and activities. When in breakout mode, participants can hear the voices of the others in their group and may see their webcam images, if this feature is enabled by the facilitator. In addition, the group members may share their own screens with each other if they have materials they wish to show the group. Facilitators can monitor the progress of each group and can join each subgroup to answer questions or help them along with their group activity. This ensures the course participants feel connected with the other learners and the instructor.
The online learning technology, combined with a skilled facilitator, will ensure a positive and productive learning environment.
This course is designed for managers, project managers, supervisors, and team leaders who want to become more effective when leading people through change initiatives.
