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 homework.   You will need to
be able to build a basic Web page.  There will be Web-based instruction
available for those who need to learn how to build a basic Web page.
You will also need to know how to use e-mail to send attachments.

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