Tonight we’ll discuss:

1. UNU’s web-based training need

2. Training Goals and Objectives

3. Our solution: Tech T-UNU-P

4. Connection between solution and need

5. SDSU Tech T-UNU-P Strengths

UNU’s web-based training need

Integration of technology based learning experiences into the classroom and online curricula

Training of faculty to use technology for the creation, production and administration of online courses

Web-Based training that is accessible from 32 satellite campuses in 15 countries

Learning methodologies that meet the needs of a diverse student population

SDSU’s Tech T-UNU-PDesign and develop a WBT program consisting of 2

learning courses:

Technology Integration in the Classroom (TIC) Technology in Distance Education (TIDE)

Instructors will have the knowledge & skills to incorporate technology into their classes and distance education programs.

SDSU’s Tech T-UNU-P

Goals and Objectives for TIC

Faculty will be able to: Use a variety of multimedia technologies Use presentation tools in optimal situations Provide students with opportunities to use technology Use a LMS when appropriate Make use of the Internet & web-based resources

SDSU’s Tech T-UNU-P

Goals and Objectives for TIDE

Faculty will be able to: Set-up & administer web-based LMS Use a variety of social interaction tools (i.e. Breeze) Upload course materials & presentation features

during online course meetings Use a variety of multimedia technologies Make use of Internet & web-based resources

These were the original needs stated in the RFP – we should probably script comments to address each one as we go through the presentation:

2. Distance education being our primary form of reaching our faculty and staff, the design and development of Web-based Training (WBT) will be considered with the following items in mind:Readability;Navigation that takes into consideration our diversity; perhaps using icons to ease use; andFormat and layout that is easily maintained.3. The content for the WBT should:Be based on solid adult learning theories;Include video-based scenarios of best practices;Animations and job aids aimed at reinforcing best practices shown on videos; andIncentives for continued use (items such as positive feedback and letting the user know when a task is complete).4. Two WBT courses: (1) technology integration in the classroom (TIC) and (2) technology in distance education (TIDE). Both courses should:Have well defined goals and objectives;Target the intended audience;Have formative and cumulative assessments; andHave help menus that are easily accessible and readable.
