Converting to an Online Environment
The scenario that serves as the basis for the post is in regards to a training managers frustration with the current format of training delivery. This frustration has led to the managers inquiry of converting to a blended training format. Pre-planning should also be considered. The manager should outline the steps which include budget, material, timeline, and resources that need to be available to complete the task.
The first step the manager should take is to conduct an analysis of the current training material. There needs to be a determination of how to structure the training and what content needs to be included.
Horton further outlines the analysis phase to include:
- Defining realistic goals
- Decide what kind of course to create as asynchronous or synchronous
- Plan for a smooth transition from classroom to web.
Continuing,
As the training manger there should also be considerations for roles and responsibilities of those involved in the conversion process. After the analysis is complete, the manager can come into the design and development phase. These will probably be the most challenging because it will require a lot of time and resources that are dedicated and focused.
