Designing eLearning Using Rapid Prototyping
Morning Session (8:00am - 12:00pm)
Facilitator: Michael Merritt
In this course we will examine the rapid prototyping process as a valuable tool when working with subject matter experts from the beginning of an eLearning project. Attendees will participate in the process of developing a rapid prototype for a project (one they may be currently working on) and how it integrates into the ADDIE process and leads to the full development of a storyboard, and on to an eLearning course.
Objectives:
Build rapid eLearning prototypes to initiate the design process.
Articulate the advantages of starting a prototype process early in the Analyze & Design stages.
Build a prototype for a current project you are working on.

Active Learning
Afternoon Session (1:00pm - 5:00pm)
Facilitators: Jill Banaszak & Kristi Rutledge
It's painful for individuals to sit through humdrum training and it is equally painful
to deliver humdrum training and gaze out at rows of motionless, vacant faces as
the clock callously thumps the slothful passage of each excruciating second. The
most thought-provoking content can’t overcome the marring effect of
unimaginative delivery.
During this workshop, participants will experience numerous examples of active
learning and create and deliver engaging training activities that speak to all
learning styles. Participants will walk away from the session with multiple
examples of how to deliver content so that it involves participants in the learning
process, stimulates their thinking, and makes them accountable for learning.
Learning Objectives:
1. Given learning content, participants will be able to list a variety of active
training methods to foster engagement and connection.
2. Given an active training technique and Bloom’s Taxonomy, participants will be
able to connect the training technique with the Bloom’s Taxonomy learning
domain that it supports..
