Masters of Design - miten soveltaa webinaareihin

Otzikon takana löytyvästä artikkelista löytyi viisi kohtaa joita voi hyvin pitää kantavana ajatuksena mielessä jos ja (toivottavasti) kun Dipoli lähtee toteuttamaan webinaareja osana tuotteitaan.

Masters of Design:

1. Design is the Differentiator

2. Those Who Write the Rules, Rule

3. Confront the Unfamiliar

4. Make It Real

5. Get Emotional

Designing Collaborative E-Learning For Results

Tässä tuore artikkeli. Otteena mm. heidän critical success factors:

Because we can communicate by email and over the Web, we no longer need to meet face to face. The more connected we are, the more isolated we are. The connectivity/isolation paradox is manifesting itself in many aspects of our professional and personal lives and is a fundamental reason why e-learning programs can be unsatisfying to instructors and learners.

How can we design e-learning programs to overcome the connectivity/isolation paradox? A program that The Otter Group adapted for CDM from a lunch seminar and then reengineered for synchronous online delivery, demonstrates strategies for building connection, interactivity, and relationships via online learning.

Critical Success Factors

Manage expectations.

Create a common base of knowledge before the course starts. This may consist of new readings/exercises or refreshers of previous ones.

Make it extremely clear how and when participants will communicate.

Demonstrate the technology at the outset and reinforce throughout the course.

Do not let anyone slip through the cracks.

Make synchronous sessions highly interactive.

Let students generate the data and examples used in the course.

Include a collaborative project.

Bring closure to the material and provide a plan for next steps.

Erään IT koulutusta tarjoavan kuvaus ao. työkalujen käytöstä

Tässä heidän webbisivustolta kuvaus miten he käyttävät Virtual Classroom työkalua kurssitarjontaan:

online Tutor & Student 1 to 1 discussions and mentoring

online Tutor 'floor walking' during class exercises

online notes and email contact with Tutor

online white boarding for collaborative group discussions

online student course evaluation

online distribution of additional course reference material

pre-course distribution of desktop enabled Web Recording of eLearning interaction

desktop enabled Web Recording of actual lesson participation

student manual for post course reference

Tässä vielä lisäksi mielestäni huomionarvoinen ote heidän blended ratkaisustaan.
Olen lihavoinut osan.
At Premier, we have adopted the blended learning approach to deliver some of our certification programmes. Our MCSE 2000 programme the "MCSE FastClass" is an ideal example of blended learning in action. We have reduced the number of classroom based training days from 33 to 18 by supporting the programme with online and self-paced learning. Membership to the FastClass Club for each delegate provides access to support materials, mock exams, virtual classroom sessions, on-line mentoring with course tutors and communication with other FastClass delegates through a dedicated web portal.

Chief Learning Officer e-Seminars

Otzikon linkistä pääsee saman nimisen webbijulkaisun webinaari sivuille. He tosin kutsuvat sitä e-Seminaariksi.
Nämä webinaarit ovat ainakin osin samoja kuin Interwisen sivustoilla tarjotut.

Case studies
Oheisesta linkistä löytyy myös muutamia tutustumisenarvoisia case studeja.

Tässä vielä lehden kuvaus itsestään:
Chief Learning Officer features top experts in the corporate training industry writing to executives and officers about the importance, benefits and advancements of a properly trained workforce.
