Relevant and Innovative Learning Scenario (RILS)
EduBlog Corporate Training
Target Audience
My target audience consists of my co-workers. However, I also intend to divide the larger audience into two sub-targets, those who work in IT and those are work in the business line and may not be as literate in tech-speak.
Materials
The materials that I need to deploy my RILS at my workplace include the following: the Web 2.0 tool that I have chosen, Information Security curriculum, and supplemental materials to enforce the curriculum (consisting of videos, podcasts, and printouts). I will also have to obtain approved internet access to the Web 2.0 tool.
Objectives
The objectives of my RILS are as follows:
· Introduce my target audience(s) to the use of Web 2.0 tools for collaborative and integrative learning and corporate training.
· Develop and share information security training with target audience(s).
· Create a reference library of these materials and information that is accessible to target audience(s).
· Comply with training requirements set forth by our company as directed by law.
· Track training accomplishments and histories of our target audience(s).
· Upon completion of the training, the learners will have an increased knowledge and awareness of both information security best practices and the corporate policies and procedures.
Procedure
The procedure to implement my RILS will begin with obtaining the required authorization to allow access to the Web 2.0 tool that I have selected. Next, I will create an account on the website for the tool and perform all the necessary administrative tasks to configure the tool so that it meets my educational requirements.
I will then develop a training curriculum to introduce my learners to the tool, and help them learn to navigate the environment and access the educational resources that will be posted on the site. As I develop our internal training curriculum I will post the materials to the site and notify my learners of the curriculum’s availability.
Finally, I will devise a set of metrics to monitor learner progress in order to determine training needs. A second set of metrics will measure the effectiveness of the training so that I can make the necessary adjustments.
Web 2.0 Tool
After evaluating several tools, the tool that I have selected for my RILS is Edublogs. This is a blog for educators to make it easy to distribute training materials and content. The url for this tool is http://edublogs.org.
Social Participation/Social Learning
My plan is to create groups of users who will participate in group activities and projects on the RILS. An example of group activities that will be featured is a contest where user groups will compete to complete in the fastest and most accurate manner. Thus, group members will be able to work together to complete specific training activities.
Making Connections
One of the features of the Web 2.0 tool is that I can upload training materials so that users can access them as needed. Learners will be able to develop new knowledge using the materials I will provide in order to apply it to their projects.
Create/Produce
For this part of the plan, I will create a corporate blog on edublogs.org and distribute the access information to my target audience. Users will not produce or create as a result of using the new training environment.
Assessment
Assessment will consist of user surveys regarding their experiences with the learning environment, and also to measure how well they understood the training content.
Reflection
The process of creating the RILS plan has given me an opportunity to organize my thoughts and draft my plan of action on how to implement the RILS. The process of creating the RILS itself will enforce my skills with the Web tool to enable me to help my learners use the tool as well.
