Implementing E-Learning Solutions
Assume that you have been hired to lead a team of instructional designers in the creation and implementation of a large e-learning project. Many of the team members have never created e-learning solutions. Based on your reading, select one of the following ways to showcase your learning:
- Create a 15 to 20 slide PowerPoint presentation with annotations in the notes section of each slide
- 5-7 page essay
- Podcast or video
Your PowerPoint, essay, podcast or video should introduce the team to e-learning and virtual classroom issues and considerations. At a minimum, you should:
- Define e-learning
- Discuss collaboration and related tools
- Discuss ways learners can communicate, collaborate and interact
- Explain the role of instructional design models
- Explain how you will leverage technology to enhance learning
- Discuss best practices for media use
- Discuss ways to manage virtual courses
- Discuss ways to best teach in a virtual classroom
Assume that you will use your work to start a brainstorming session with your new group. You should provide recommendations for each of your answers and justify why.
