Projects In the News
Usually, I keep notes and thoughts here that help me with projects, but I've had a chance to work on some interesting projects and people lately and wanted to keep track of them. So here's the latest in ISDS news:
Sell Them Thar Houses
We were excited to team up with The Rochelle Organization again. Our project this time is to upgrade and streamline four days of content for the Council of Residential Specialists. The workshops, Business Planning and Marketing, Effective Buyer Sales Strategies, Listing Strategies for the Residential Specialist are part of the six core courses required for the CRS Realtor designation. These folks rank among the top realtors in the country!
NHI eLearning Sandbox
We are facilitating a very fun online project with five groups of engineers for the National Highway Institute. They are using a hands-on approach to teaching online. A learning path is mapped out for participants to learn Adobe Connect and Adobe Presenter. The program includes demonstrations, virtual room group work and creating a one-hour pilot class for a real audience. Though they are exposed to both WCT and WBT, participants decide what type of course they will author. The program was founded under Debbie Qwaltney, of the Federal Highways Administration,and senior instructional designer Susan MacDonald Osborn. ISDS was very excited to be chosen to continue the program.
Just Try to Say That Fast!
We're providing senior ISD review for the Dallas office of FUGRO Consultants, Inc. (Nederlands) for their course Analysis of New and Rehabilitated Pavement Performance with Mechanistic-Empirical Design Guide Software. Our role is ensure that good learning principles and strong interaction is built into the course. Subject matter experts and developers Mark Gardner and Katie Hall really know their pavement!
Another Fine Blend
We just completed our high-level design plan for adapting an instructor-led workshop to a blended learning Web Conference (WCT) and Web Training (WBT) approach. The course, Effective Communications In A Public Involvement Campaign, has teamed us up with SME Steve Moler out of San Francisco. This promises to be a very interesting project!
