curriculum road map

figure showing all of the courses in a curriculum, the path learners can take through it, and the sequence in which courses have to be completed -purpose, prerequisite skills needed, learning objectives, format of content and course expectations, delivery method for content

guide the development of a training program and explain it to managers

effective lesson plans include:

learning objectives or outcomes, target audience, prerequisites (trainees and instructor), time, lesson outline, activity, support materials, physical environment, preparation, lesson topic, evaluation, transfer and retention

the best way to help trainees remember the concepts in the training is to

use a variety of activities, questions, role playing and discussion questions int he training session

course or program

usually covers more specified learning objectives and addresses a more limited number of competencies or skills.

If training emphasizes total group discussion with limited presentation and no small group interaction, a _____ seating arrangement will be most effective.

Fan-type seating arrangement

lesson plan

-more detailed than the design document -includes specific steps involved in the lesson, instructor, and trainee activities and the time allocated to each topic included in the lesson

how to get trainees involved

-open ended questions discussed in groups -assessments - learn about yourself or others -games and activities -role playing -what do plan to use for this training?

classroom with breakout rooms, lecture hall with breakout rooms

low collaboration, low self-direction

classroom, computer classroom, lecture hall

the room in morris hall where we cold class is arranged as:

classroom-type seating

low collaboration, high self direction

distance learning room, media lab, computer lab

post-training

encourage learners to apply what they learned to their work

training site

room where training will conducted -it is comfortable and accessible -it is quiet, private, and are form interruptions -sufficient space for trainees to move around easily -trainees have adequate work space -good visibility for trainees to see each other, the trainer and any visual displays

design document

scope of project, delivery, objectives -purpose, goals, target audience, training time, method, number of participants, locations, prerequisites, problems and opportunities, instructor

A lesson plan overview matches major activities of a training program and ________

specific times or time intervals

lesson plans are important in developing training because:
