Overview

This three-day, hands-on 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.  The skills  will be on 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.

After an introduction and overview of the  state-of-the-art of web-based
instructional technology and its applications, you will be guided
through the process of constructing your own web-based training unit.

This workshop requires a certain amount of Web-based activity work.
One third of the workshop time (6 hrs) will be online live meetings with
lecture and discussion.  The remaining two thirds (12 hrs.) will require
students to participate in Web-based activities and to read relevant
articles and online documentation in addition to the scheduled meeting times.

Enrollment in each scheduled three day class will be limited to 5
participants per session.

businesses or other organizations.  No Web-based training experience is
