Week 16 Project B Reflections

My Project B was meant to be an online version of training that provides an alternative to improve the learners’ participation and to enhance attendee’s job performance beside Project 1 for next school year (2011-2012) to fix the existed problems when a similar version of video training was executed this past semester. 

One of my biggest challenges for my project was time management. It took me a lot of time to figure out the right applications for my instructional design with zero budget concern. At some points, I was struggling to upload my website into this class server even I learned from one CECS course last semester. What I have learned from the process and what I would do differently next time would be plan ahead and manage my work schedule more wisely.

My client is pretty satisfactory with the e-Learning course as a part of Applied Behavior Analysis training series. Personally, I am also content with what I have finished this project as it is now.  As a first time instructional designed, I did learn a lot from these two assignment projects. 

Week 15 Feasible Time Frame

As my Project B plan, I pretty much finished my e-learning website infrastructure development. This course series contain 8 learning modules. I have completed 2 of them and posted online. The post-course survey is done and available on my web page.  It will take me a chuck of time to convert the training videos into streaming files of the 6 unfinished volumes for web uses. Regarding the feasibility in a reasonable time frame, I presume that it probably will take me about 10 working days to finish video conversion. Other than that, typing the 6 quizzes is painless and can be finished in a day. This online course is scheduled for next spring.  There is enough time for me to wrap up, test and adjust this project before implementation.

Week 14 About my project

My client is content with my project proposal. She agrees with me that it is necessary to extend our class-based training into online learning to fulfill the goals we set for our trainees and to offer them the schedule flexibility. Along with the original online training ideas, I made efforts of providing a variety of functions including chatting, discussion, and calendar to enhance the learning effectiveness besides video and written lectures and tests.  

There is still a week before the project dues. I definitely have to work hard to put everything together as I planned. I am happy with my concept and design.  I would be happier if I can carry all the ideas into reality and put them on my web site.  I wish I had more sophisticated skills and more time to devote to the last stage of my project – make it happen.
