Program Overview
After attending an Allen Interactions workshop that introduced me to a “sketching” approach to rapid eLearning design, I tried it out with a client. It worked great and helped the client and me quickly create a simple instructional design for a microlearning module. (We use Trivantis’ Lectora Inspire software for development and CourseMill for the LMS implementation.) The client had budget constraints, so I had to be creative when we got to the audio production. We decided to use the project manager as the voice talent and apply podcasting techniques I’ve used in the past.
During my presentation, I’ll share how we approached the project and offer practical, cost-effective suggestions for using podcasting as part of your microlearning solutions. The session will include an interactive exercise where I will need a volunteer...prepare to participate...it won’t hurt that much.
