I began to draft a storyboard for my course interaction, based on the information I acquired during the meeting with the SME. This being the first time I designed a storyboard, I consulted with my onsite adviser regarding my options. I was assuming that the storyboard should be more graphical in nature, but she showed me some examples using both Word and PowerPoint. In the end, I decided to use Microsoft Visio which is a great tool for creating flowcharts. I thought this would be more intuitive to add later on to my design document.
As I am not developing a full-fledged course (i.e. my course will supplement the face-to-face training workshops), the interaction in my course is fairly basic. It will consist of the following components, arranged sequentially: Title, Objectives, Video, Review, Supporting documents and Point of contact (POC) / Survey link. I reviewed this with my onsite adviser and received her approval.
Once I had I my storyboard complete, I then proceeded to work on the design document. I was given a previous in-house document to use as an example. This document includes the following major components: Training Requirements, Overall Goal & Purpose and Learning Objectives. Several sub-components are also included such as Audience, Assessment and Seat Time. Going through the process of drafting a design document has helped me even further to give clarity and definition for my project.
In addition to the sample design document, I was also provided with an in-house template I will be using for my course. I began to put together a prototype in Articulate based on the storyboard I drafted. Once I complete the design the document and have it reviewed, I will begin to populate my course slides with relevant information (e.g. objectives, videos, etc.).
Last but not least, I was given the opportunity to attend two m-learning vendor presentations. During the presentations, each vendor proposed their m-learning solution in an effort to convince JHMI to contract with them. As mentioned earlier, JHMI is seeking an m-learning solution in an effort to improve their engagement with their international patients. Some components of the solution sought include appointment reminders, guest services information, policies/procedures and most importantly, performance surveys. In general, I found the presentations to be very informative as they helped provide me with some useful insight into the JHMI m-learning strategy.
