Webcast: Designing Web-Based Training

A lot of classroom courses are being dumped onto servers and wending their way throughout the Internet.  Some of them will help people learn.  Many others will confuse, frustrate, and waste the time of their recipients.  Come to the November chapter meeting to learn about Designing Web-Based Training.  Our presenter is Bill Horton, President of William Horton Consulting, who specializes in the design of online training, help systems, and knowledge management systems. He is the author of numerous books on technical communication topics.  His most recent book, released in February of this year, is Designing Web-Based Training: How to Teach Anyone Anything Anywhere Anytime.

Topics will include differences between classroom-based and web-based training, instructor versus learner-led courses, synchronicity issues, class size, and type of course.  Then we’ll learn about how to separate essentials from incidentals, a strategy for converting from classroom-based training, presentation sequences, and hands-on activities.  This meeting is cosponsored with Pro Web: Please come early to network with our colleagues from other Pro Web member organizations while we munch on snacks and prepare to learn all about web-based training.
