Choose two of the following online trainings that are located in
THE|HUB and watch the trainings. Transcripts are also available, and you
are encouraged to download those and read them as well. Take notes as
you watch the trainings—you may want to watch them quite a few times, so
you should get started earlier in the week.https://hub2.devry.edu/node/1727https://hub2.devry.edu/node/1728https://hub2.devry.edu/node/1729https://hub2.devry.edu/node/1095https://hub2.devry.edu/node/2915As you watch the trainings, take notes on the following things you notice or consider.Who does the audience seem to be for the training?What type of learner would best learn from this training?How much learner control do the learners have in this training? How much should they have?What
is the reason this training is being done through technology and not
traditionally? Does this seem to be the best method? If not, what method
would you have suggested?Was a positive online learning experience created?Were
learning objectives for the training provided to the trainees before,
during, or after the training? If yes, what were they, and were they
met? If not, what did they seem to be, and were they met?How would
you rate the quality of the training? Would you recommend this training?
Would you pay to take this training if this is your field?InstructionsYour
paper will analyze two of the trainings and should cover the following
concepts. The organization of your paper will be like a report, so
please use headings to organize the report. Your boss wants to know if
you think these training modules will work for some upcoming training.
The training will be for 25 people in your organization, at a cost of
$150 per seat, for access for 2 weeks. You will be reporting to your
boss as to whether you think your organization should purchase these
trainings to use. You will provide a one-page analysis (each) for each
of the trainings; and then on your final one to two pages, you will
discuss the business case for using these modules (or not using them).
This might include the cost-effectiveness of providing these modules as
training to your organization, the benefits of using these modules for
training, or any downsides and alternatives you recommend to the use of
these modules. Based on your best estimate, determine whether you feel
the value of the training will be recouped by the organization through a
benefit (savings) or whether it will be borne by the organization as a
necessary expense. Feel free to supplement your analysis with your own
assumed facts. (Be as creative as you want to be.)Page 1Explain
the background of one of the training videos, the content, the learning
objectives that it would meet, the time frame it will take, and the
style of learners it will appeal to.Provide a brief analysis as
to the quality of the training tutorial and whether it seems worth $150
per seat, and provide at least one alternative training method that
could be done (and at approximately what cost). Use at least one
alternative method of training discussed in Chapter 7. Finally discuss
the cost of live-styled traditional training—hiring an expert in the
field of the tutorial’s topic—or whether you feel you have in-house
experts who could do this training just as well. These alternatives can
be summarized and explained briefly.Page 2Write a
similar analysis and write-up of the second training video. Where your
thoughts are the same as for the first video, you can briefly summarize
by saying, “This training is similar to the first module in the areas of
. . .” Then move into what is different. Perhaps there are benefits as a
result of the two modules being similar; explain these in your paper as
well.Pages 3 and 4Propose to either use these videos
for your training or some alternative method for training. In your
proposal, explain to your boss (using professional-style writing) the
reasons for your choice. Include the concepts that are covered in
Chapters 7 and 8 as reasons for or against the use of the training
tutorials or videos or modules or your alternative method you proposed
on pages 1 and 2. Provide your final recommendation in your concluding
paragraph.Title Page and Executive SummaryOn the front
page of the report, use a title page. On page 2, create a brief
executive summary (four to five sentences, tops) that provides to your
supervisor the topic of your proposal with your final recommendation.
Assume that your supervisor may want to use that document to send up the
chain as a training recommendation, so include any specific numbers you
feel are important in that document. (Note that APA sixth edition does
not provide for executive summaries; instead, it discusses abstracts.
APA sixth edition is for scholarly publications and not business
writing. Because this is a report to your supervisor, title it as an
executive summary to get practice in business writing method.)
