Week of June 9.This week I spent working on the learning matrix. I have it to the point that it just needs a few additions of new technology by working with the content from the earlier course.Reflection There is a lot of work left to be done. But the process has a good start. I think that the matrix will serve well as a content guide to analyze the new Flash based course. A preliminary analysis

Week of June 2.This week was spent completing the learning and teaching analysis. I also spent some time reviewing the principles of instruction that relate to computer-based instruction.Workers have a gap in performance. New workers have a difficult time applying the formulas and mathematical learning to real world work situations. This is a brief description of the gap between current and

Week of May 26. This week I received feedback from my advisor regarding the process that was being followed for the internship. He recommended that in light of the fact that the instruction are already created that it would be easy to focus instead on starting with what was there instead of completing the entire ID process. This was excellent advice. I shifted my focus from looking at the gaps in

Week of May 19.This week was our first face-to-face meeting. I drove out to Bismarck on Friday the 23rd and spent some time during the week reviewing the instructional material that is on the company website. Review of materials that have been developed so far. What has been created is Flash based instruction which is sound in its approach, flat though, lacking much a variety in its presentation.

Week of May 12.This week was a set up and planning week. Major events were finding that there was an opportunity with XXX and working with Julie. On our first phone call we talked about the scope of the project and the internship. We talked about what the ID problem is and what the desired outcome is. The workers have a gap in performance. New workers have a difficult time applying the formulas

I am working on creating a website that has examples of the work that I have done in ID. The URL is http://www.idtspecialists.com/ it's a work in progress. It's fun putting things together in a new way. Well, usually. Have to admit that a few of the embedded files did not act as I thought they should initially. I think the major bugs are worked out, now to make it pretty and design a navigation
