Description

This course is aimed at professionals who work on training development projects, including training department managers, training project managers, instructional designers and functional (project) managers who are assigned to manage the training for their solution. This course will guide you through all the steps you need to start, execute and finish a training development project, using the ADDIE development model. At the end of this course, you'll be able to:· Define common training terms and acronyms· Describe the phases of the ADDIE model· Identify roles on a training team· Identify roles on a client’s project team· List the skills that a project manager needs to succeed· Conduct a Training Needs Analysis· Explain the factors that go into recommending a training solution· Conduct a training project kickoff meeting with the client· Create a Training Statement of Work (SOW)· Build a training schedule· Calculate a training budget· Define a Task Analysis· Describe the process of developing a course outline· Monitor client project progress· Monitor course development progress· Identify and manage risks· Learn how to resolve issues that arise during project development· Lead training reviews· Perform course production and testing tasks· Create a training survey· Write communications to announce the availability of the training to students· Review training surveys and interpret feedback· Conduct a Lessons Learned meeting· Explain the importance of archiving course materialsThroughout the course, we’ll use a sample training project to practice various activities. After each activity, suggested results will be reviewed.For our sample project, we’ll have a training team that includes a project manager and an instructional designer. We'll go through the ADDIE development model, focusing on the tasks of each training team member in each phase of ADDIE.
