Welcome!
This Website provides you with a Web-based learning opportunity
that will be focused on Instructional Design for Corporate Trainers
who have not had formal instructional design training.
As part of our graduate work at University of Connecticut,
we are developing a Web-based instructional design tutorial.
This tutorial will introduce you to formal instructional design
concepts, provide tools for instructional design, and provide some support as you learn.
We anticipate the total time to complete the introductory training will be about 4 hours over a two-week period.
The tutorial will be about 2 hours of information.
The tutorial will be followed by an activity
where you will produce a high-level instructional design document/plan.
You will receive feedback/coaching on your plan.
We will also ask you to participate in a pre and post assessment.
This information will be confidential.
This pilot is to look at a self-directed learning approach to instructional design.
We will provide you with Instructional Design content to learn and a series of prompts (questions)
to guide you through the learning. You will access the information via the Internet.
In this Website, you will find the resources needed to accomplish the project.
In addition, you will have the ability to post and respond to questions through WebBoard
(a Web-based bulletin board), access the evaluation tools, you can email the pilot team for help,
and post your final plan.

As stated earlier, we anticipate that you will spend no more than 2-3 three hours reviewing
the provided information and another 2 hours preparing your instructional design outline and plan.
You will be able to do this work any time of the day or night.
We do request that it be complete in a two-week period.
For planning we offer the following tentative timeline:

The high level plan for this work is as follows:
- You will fill out a pre-assessment (confidential).
- You will be provided a problem statement that will require you to instructionally design a topic.
- You will have access to a Website with numerous resources to learn about instructional design.
- You will produce a high-level instructional design outline and plan. Additionally, you will write a short explanation of the process you used to produce the outline and plan.
- You will take a post assessment (confidential).
- You will fill out an evaluation of the learning experience.
- We will share the results of the pilot with all participants.

This learning intervention will be a guided tutorial based on two bodies of literature;
situated learning and problem-based learning.
