NOT live online training, but....
Just an interesting piece of information I'd like to share with you
today.
I'm designing an asynchronous training program based on a 2-day
classroom course. The asynchronous course consists of 4 modules which
are really just intended to be refreshers - you must attend the
workshop first.
You'd think this would be easy, wouldn't you? Just move the content
over. But, as you've probably learned when designing your own online
training - it's never simple. The first 20 min module took nearly 8
hours! The second one took nearly 5 hours! Why? Because to keep our
audience engaged and interactive we must keep the screen moving,
right? So what might be on a ppt slide in the classroom, to which we
can talk for 5 minutes... to move it online requires 3 or 4 slides.
It's an interesting experience to re-think your training from a
learner's perspective who is sitting mesmerized by his / her computer
screen.
It's also a really fun activity to approach the design of training
