Assignment 1: Project - Training Website
Purpose:
• To develop capability in the production of relevant learning materials for blended learning.
• To gain understanding of a wide range of methods of facilitating learning within organisations.
This assignment requires you to develop a website that will inform and support learning in an organisation.
Process action:
• You will produce a web-based resource that provides online learning for organisational managers.
• You will negotiate the topic focus, then research the area and determine the appropriate materials.
• You will construct a Website/Wiki that provides all the materials that managers need to learn, and guide how they can then apply this learning technique within the organisation to develop their staff.
The site should define the subject, indicate variations, meanings, uses, the pros and cons, and indicate how to use the technique for learning and how to evaluate learning.
It should clearly specify the target audience and objective.
It will also provide a training resource for everyone in the class to use – and you will evaluate the sites produced.
The purpose of the assignment is to develop your capability to deliver learning via the web to staff within organizations. In this case the site you create will also educate your class colleagues in their role as potential managers of learning within organizations.
No more than 2000 words.
