1. Obtain software to assist with development tools analysis (Lectora, Camtasia, Presenter, Captivate, Podcasting)

    

2. Explore all tools related to the following questions:

    

   1. Ease of making products accessible

       

   2. Utility for developing products desired by AT PP

       

       

       

       

   3. Identify tools based on exploration and survey? Software demos as a proxy for actual use?

       

       

       

       

       

       

3.      Identify specific experience with software tools to present information and develop training.  Identify types of instructional activities and just in time support for development tools (Survey?, Software demos as a proxy for actual use?)

 

4.      Research available materials and design mini-tutorials/job aids/demonstrations to incorporate into collaboratory

 

5.      Usability testing using mini-tutorials/job aids/demonstrations

 

6.      Re-design mini-tutorials/job aids/demonstrations

 

7.      Identify how development tools will be integrated into the VCC -- through Blackboard? and the interface

 

8.      Create use cases and design integration

 

9.      Usability testing on interface and redesigned mini-tutorials/job aids/demonstrations

 

10.  Re-design interface, mini-tutorials/job aids/demonstrations

 

If time:

 

Align products created by development tools with webshop templates ( compare info w/current webshop templates) 

 

• Current procedures in create webshop.doc 
• TTAC1 two graphic template.dot 
• TTAC4 video template.dot

Notes as of 2/12/08:

 

Currently available tools: Flash, Podcasting, Adobe Captivate, Adobe Presenter, Camtasia, Lectora

 

Questions to consider :

 What are the end goals?

              Create mini-training modules and templates

 

What is the time frame? Training tools time frame.doc

Usability testing?

o       Two rounds of usage testing.

 

 What tools are we going to use? 

 

What type of supports are needed? (human/training support)

Most likely- human support in addition to just in time support

Mini-tutorials or online demonstrations (synchronous and asynchronous)

 

·        What is the connection?

                The tools will be part of the collaboration center which will allow staff member to virtually collaborate and prepare training materials

 

 

 

Are we going to try to incoperate Blackboard, Wiki and del.icio.us?

    I feel that Blackboard will be our interface where we house the tutorials/just in time support and a place for AT PP members to share their documents if they plan to use the development tools collaboratively

    If we have time to include a wiki and create a method for them to use delicious, then we may want to look at these tools as a next step if we have time.

   

 

If so, when and how?
