It included skills in project management, technical coordination, professional development instruction, web-based lesson content development, secure website design, media creation/encoding, subject matter expertise, and presentation skills.
A Distance Learning Blueprint
A group activity with Claudette Brown-Symthe, James Chiarchiaro, and Jing Xu to create an instructional blueprint for a corporate professional development assignment. The plan recommends a hybrid approach utilizing synchronous and asynchronous methods, and includes learning activity design, assessment and evaluation tools, a prototype, and a matrix of Web 2.0 tools for use in exploring interaction methods. This project involved skills in project management, teamwork, literature review, design, development, and business writing. My role was team leader, designer, and prototype developer.
