Designing Online Learning Using Rapid Prototyping Certificate Program
Creatively improve online instructional interactivity with rapid prototyping
The traditional ADDIE storyboarding approach to designing e-learning usually results in learning modules that fail to engage the learner's mind. Iterative design methods, including rapid online prototyping, focus the design effort first on creating an instructionally interactive learning experience, rather than documenting content. In this two-day hands-on workshop, participants will be exposed to core principles of instructional interactivity and iterative design and then apply these directly to their own projects through rapid prototyping.
Audience
This program is designed for designers and developers of e-learning programs, and is appropriate for professionals with specific project plans in place, as participants will be working to develop designs for their own projects.
Course Description
The flexible rapid prototyping process maximizes controlled experimentation within the design process, allows creative visualization of instructional ideas, involves the full-team, provides early validation of design ideas and potential optimization of development resources across a project. The principles can be applied to any type of online learning but will be most relevant to designers of individualized asynchronous curricula.
Learning Objectives
By the end of the program, participants are able to
· Describe effective design components of instructional interactivity
· Brainstorm and evaluate instructional design ideas in terms of instructional potential
· Use a prototyping tool of each user's choice to build and modify rapid prototypes to initiate lesson designs
· Describe the larger iterative design process to carry out a complete design and development process
· Articulate the advantages of successive approximation in contrast to linear storyboarding processes for arriving at effective designs for e-learning.
Participants need to come prepared with:
· a laptop computer pre-loaded with prototyping software of their choice. This can be any program that can represent core interactivity (hot spots, buttons, text, simple drawing tools, sequencing, animation, etc.) with which the participant feels mastery. It does not need to be the tool in which the course will ultimately be developed. Good options are Authorware, Lectora, Captivate, PowerPoint, or Dreamweaver.
· Initial ideas and basic content about a specific training need. This need not be extensive, but will form the subject of each participant's design activities.
