It's interesting how one can take advantage of past experiences to help address a new and different challenge. That is the situation that I found myself in this week as we considered how to convert a traditional training program into a Distance Learning Format. Fate must surely have been on my side this week as I was able to use the effort put into the Course Project for the second of two Instructional Design courses for this week's application activity.
In the latter of those two courses, I chose to redesign a training program developed by a group in the earlier course. They, like the training manager in this week's scenario, designed a 4-session face-to-face training program. My recommendations were to develop the first three units as online instructional modules and use a face-to-face workshop for the fourth module and for the final assessment for the training program. The outcome would provide independent and private performance toward achieving three of the company's desired objectives for training but also would save the hotel a great deal of money in terms of time away from the job and travel to the many hotels by the trainer to conduct the training.
Here is a link to the article explaining the features of that hotel training program and therefore its use in the scenario in this week's assignment.
