Example
1: Collaborative Training Environment
A new automated staff information system was recently purchased by a major corporation and needs to be implemented in six regional offices. Unfortunately, the staff is located throughout all the different offices and cannot meet at the same time or in the same location. As an instructional designer for the corporation, you have been charged with implementing a training workshop for these offices. As part of the training, you were advised how imperative it is that the staff members share information, in the form of screen captures and documents, and participate in ongoing collaboration

Simonson,
Smaldino, Albright & Zvacek (2012)p90, state that “communication in a
distance education environment happens when learners interact with one another
and with their instructor” the authors continue to say that “effective
instructional messages are designed according to the situation ,experiences and
competences of learners.” These messages must reach an audience and can be
transmitted in forms such as pictures, spoken words or writing. There must be a
channel of transmission. In today’s world, media is used to transmit knowledge
to persons at a distant. In the above scenario I would therefore employ the use of screen cast and blog to conduct the training workshop
Using screen
cast I would provide the training. Screen cast has the advantage of
convenience.The staff could view the training at anytime and anywhere as long
as internet connection is available. Individuals would have the advantage of
replaying the tool until the concept is fully understood. Having mastered the
information system the staff could now share information regarding the system
with each other through the use of Blogging.
Web logging according to Smaldino et al is “a
form of on line reporting and journaling that gives anyone an opportunity to
publish on the internet.” The author further stated that “blogs can be excellent
tools for student reflection about course content or reporting activities in
student teaching experience.” To gain a

Good morning how are you?
ReplyDeleteMy name is Emilio, I am a Spanish boy and I live in a town near to Madrid. I am a very interested person in knowing things so different as the culture, the way of life of the inhabitants of our planet, the fauna, the flora, and the landscapes of all the countries of the world etc. in summary, I am a person that enjoys traveling, learning and respecting people's diversity from all over the world.
I would love to travel and meet in person all the aspects above mentioned, but unfortunately as this is very expensive and my purchasing power is quite small, so I devised a way to travel with the imagination in every corner of our planet. A few years ago I started a collection of used stamps because trough them, you can see pictures about fauna, flora, monuments, landscapes etc. from all the countries. As every day is more and more difficult to get stamps, some years ago I started a new collection in order to get traditional letters addressed to me in which my goal was to get at least 1 letter from each country in the world. This modest goal is feasible to reach in the most part of countries, but unfortunately it’s impossible to achieve in other various territories for several reasons, either because they are countries at war, either because they are countries with extreme poverty or because for whatever reason the postal system is not functioning properly.
For all this I would ask you one small favour:
Would you be so kind as to send me a letter by traditional mail from Dominica? I understand perfectly that you think that your blog is not the appropriate place to ask this, and even, is very probably that you ignore my letter, but I would call your attention to the difficulty involved in getting a letter from that country, and also I don’t know anyone neither where to write in Dominica in order to increase my collection. a letter for me is like a little souvenir, like if I have had visited that territory with my imagination and at same time, the arrival of the letters from a country is a sign of peace and normality and an original way to promote a country in the world. My postal address is the following one:
Emilio Fernandez Esteban
Calle Valencia, 39
28903 Getafe (Madrid)
Spain
If you wish, you can visit my blog www.cartasenmibuzon.blogspot.com where you can see the pictures of all the letters that I have received from whole World.
Finally I would like to thank the attention given to this letter, and whether you can help me or not, I send my best wishes for peace, health and happiness for you, your family and all your dear beings.
