Overview

This three meeting/three week, 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.  Participants 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 may look at some of these.

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 significant 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. plus)
will  be Web-based activities and
reading articles and online documentation.
This work is  in addition to the scheduled meeting times.

Enrollment in each scheduled three day/three week (with Web-based 
work extending
beyond the three weeks specifically scheduled)
class will be limited to 5 participants per session.

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. Participants should know how to use
e-mail.  Ideally participants should know how to build at least a basic
Web page.  Day 2./Week 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 http://www.kovacs.com/basicreviews/basicpage.html

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