Overview

This hands-on Web-based workshop will provide experience in designing and
constructing several forms of web-based training.  The intellectual 
focus will be
on using good instructional design and Web page design principles. 
Students will
develop Web-based training using standard Web pages and free or low-cost
communications tools.  We will not work with high end multi-media 
plug-ins or high
cost communications tools, although we will review some of these.

After an introduction to instructional design and Web design for 
Web-based training
and an overview of the state-of-the-art of web-based instructional 
technology and
its applications, students will be guided through the process of 
constructing their
own web-based training unit.

This workshop requires a significant amount of Web-based activities, 
project work,
and readings. Plan to spend at least 12 hours on Web-based work and 
readings.  The
6 hours of scheduled online meeting time is in addition to Web-based work time.
Student's working independantly will also want to plan for time in 
communication
with the instructor.

Audience

This workshop is intended for trainers who work in libraries, 
businesses or other
organizations.  No Web-based training experience is expected.  We 
will review the
basics of Instructional Design for computer assisted instruction. 
Students should
know how to use e-mail.  Ideally students should know how to build at 
least a basic
Web page.  Part 2 Activities will provide the basic Web page 
construction skills
(options: Netscape Composer, DreamWeaver, WebCT, Blackboard). The 
minimum Web page
construction skills may be acquired by anyone interested by connecting to

The Instructor will assist students to use Netscape or Internet Explorer 4.5 or
higher to participate in the real-time classes and to interact with 
the Web-based
materials.
