Training 2009 Conference and Expo - (Page TCB7) Certificate Programs 3-DAY CERTIFICATE PROGRAMS FRI-SUN, FEBRUARY 6-8 • Appraise the different advance e-learning designs including learning games, scenario-based learning, and social learning. • Identify the opportunities for cost control, rapid development, and project management. • Analyze and apply basic software used in basic e-learning design and Learning Management Systems (LMSs). • Demonstrate the use of templates, reusable learning objects, and rapid development techniques. • Apply a cost-benefit and Return on Investment (ROI) for e-learning program implementation. • Accomplish the above outcomes by completing hands-on mini project during this certificate. This certificate is designed for instructional designers who must convert content or create e-learning; subject-matter-experts who are responsible for implementing e-learning; instructors moving from in-person classroom training to online learning; documentation and technical writers creating content for online delivery and managers who must lead and manage design and development of e-learning. You are required to bring your own laptop with Microsoft Office and Internet Explorer 7.0. Your laptop must have the ability to play audio and access the Internet. Past participation in online events and e-learning programs is recommended. structured and supportive atmosphere. The module can be in-process or a completed project. (To ensure that the work and comments remain confidential, we will have a policy of non-disclosure.) This certificate is designed for experienced instructional designers who have developed at least 3 learning programs (in any medium) and are looking to take their designs to the next level. CP01 Instructional Designer Certificate Program Ida Shessel, Senior Consultant, Friesen, Kaye, and Associates In this hands-on certificate program you will gain confidence, knowledge, and tools you need to design effective classroom and online lessons. Discover the keys to designing learnercentered training that ensures success. Take home electronic job aids and a detailed support manual to help you apply what you learned when you are back on the job. Explore a variety of presentation, application and feedback methods; creative uses of media; and well-crafted materials that demonstrate what understanding adult learning principles is all about. In addition, learn how to build in interactivity that adds value to all your training. This certificate offers hands-on experiences, group discussions, and real-world examples. In addition you’ll learn to: • Incorporate adult learning principles, a systematic learning process, and a variety of processing methods to maximize retention. • Accommodate different learning styles. • Apply key activities for project planning, training design, and material development. • Select the right training content to support performance improvement for the target population. • Employ instructional design strategies and shortcuts immediately back on the job. • Plan a variety of presentation, application, and feedback methods. • Align objectives and tests and outline transfer strategies to close any remaining performance gaps. • Promote interactivity in classroom and online designs. This certificate program is designed for both beginning and intermediate instructional designers and subject matter experts who are responsible for creating, revising or converting classroom or online learning. CP04 Creating E-learning with Flash Certificate Program Chris Florio, Professor, Interactive Media, New England Art Institute Learn how to harness the power of Flash—a widespread, rich-media authoring tool—to quickly, easily, and economically add a wide range of content and interactivity to your current e-learning program. The certificate will start with the basics of Flash and progress through the design tools, the interactive tools and the testing tools with an emphasis on the tools that are most useful for developing e-learning content. During this certificate you will create a simple application in Flash that integrates the techniques covered including how to: • Set-up a Flash-based Website or application. • Get comfortable with the Flash interface. • Understand how Flash works with the range of tools in the Flash platform including Flex and AIR. • Optimize streaming Flash files to perform efficiently on a wide range of computers at any bandwidth. • Use Flash’s drawing, editing, text, and animation tools and techniques. • Use Actionscript 3 with Flash to create basic interactivity. • Send information between Flash and server files. • Use Flash content with PowerPoint. • Integrate images, audio, and video. • Optimize Flash interactivity for presentations and training by creating forms, managing multiple timelines, and tracking user input. • Create graphic feedback with ActionScript. • Create Quiz’s with Tracking. This certificate program is designed for anyone who needs to create effective and inspiring e-learning with limited time, budget, and resources. Previous experience is helpful but not essential. The program is tailored to accommodate developers, designers, and project managers who are already developing in Flash, planning to develop in Flash or are considering to develop in Flash e-learning applications. You are required to bring your own laptop with Internet Explorer 7.0 or higher to the event to participate in hands-on exercises. CP03 Advanced Instructional Design for Online and Classroom Learning Saul Carliner, Associate Professor, Concordia University Take your instructional designs to the next level and learn to conquer the most common “trouble areas” that designers experience when preparing learning programs. This certificate program helps you sharpen your designs by learning to accommodate different learning styles, incorporate new instructional models, make courses more interactive, set an appropriate instructional tone, present content in alternative ways, and effectively communicate learning content and related feedback. At the end of this certificate program, you’ll be able to better: • Design learning programs that accommodate different learning styles and incorporate a variety of instructional models. • Increase the extent of interactivity in a course and use alternate approaches to presenting content. • Clearly communicate learning content through effective use of writing and visual communication. • Provide meaningful feedback to learners. Plus, learn to gain support for your design plans by preparing an effective business case for learning programs and handling objections to design plans. The highlight of this certificate program is a 15- to 30-minute review of a lesson of each participant’s work. Program Note: You are expected to bring a module of instruction to be reviewed by other participants in the workshop. Certificate participants and the instructor will provide feedback in a CP02 E-learning Designer Certificate Program Ray Jimenez, Author, 3-Minute e-Learning In this certificate, you’ll focus on in-depth, effective methods to implement e-learning programs. You will learn how to manage all the phases of e-learning, from strategy formulation through the steps for launching the program itself. We’ll focus on effective and cost-effective design and development techniques for both basic and advanced programs—not theories or software use. At the end of this certificate program, you’ll be able to better: • Develop a successful plan to implement an e-learning initiative. • Implement a simple and basic e-learning design following the full production process.
