1. E-learning for Classes in Education Goal 1: Develop the e-learning classes that will be finished at Texas State University by August 2017. Goal 2: Assist Texas State University students by demonstrating, practicing, and training the e-learning classes in the second week in December 2017. Goal 3: Aid and support Texas State University while launching the e-learning classes for the students in January 2018. Video: Put in Slide Show to view => Trend: E-learning for classes in education: Goal 1: Develop the e-learning classes that will be finished at Texas State University by August 2017. Objective 1: Gather a team together of five individuals for collaboration on the e-learning classes in August 2016. Strategy: Use program planners and instructors for the team collaboration on the e-learning classes. Use mostly staff from Texas State University, but one outside team member to help with diversity and ideas. Objective 2: Interview three different professionals who have experience creating e-learning platforms for assistance and tips on August 08, 2016. Find professionals who have been in the e-learning field for at least five years. Make a list of questions to ask each professional being interviewed, where the questions and answers are consistent. Objective 3: Schedule meetings for the team every week on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. The time of day will be decided from week to week, and this is to connect and collaborate offline for the development. Create a schedule every week that works with each of the team member’s availability. Decide on how many hours offline each day for the schedule the team will work together. Work offline on the program each scheduled day for eight hours. Collaboration within the team is asynchronously online each day.   Goal 2: Assist Texas State University students by demonstrating, practicing, and training the e-learning classes in the second week in December 2017. Prepare for the e-learning training and do any final changes to complete the online environment two weeks before the launch date. Make revisions to the e-learning training program online. Use instructors to point out any changes that need to occur. Examine and evaluate the e-learning platform before the launch date at Texas State University. Prepare the program planning group for the classes by logging into the e-learning platform each day. Keep the program planning group evaluating the e-learning platform every day for mistakes. Administer the demonstration, practice, and training of the e-learning to the learners starting December 11, 2017. Start the e-learning classes with the instructors and learners on the start date. Practice and train learners how to operate the e-learning classes. Goal 3: Aid and support Texas State University while launching the e-learning classes for the students in January 2018. Launch the e-learning classes for students to start January 2018 at Texas State University. Begin the e-learning classes by opening up the platform for learners. Start the first day on the e-learning environment with the students to get them comfortable. Instruct the e-learning classes during the first six semesters for evaluation purposes. Use the e-learning platform to conduct the classes with the students. Gather all data throughout the first six semesters for evaluation. Include the assignments, grades, and feedback from students. Critique the first three e-learning classes, and compare classes and approaches between instructors. Use the information from the e-learning classes to find the successful approaches in each class. Use the information to decide how to modify the e-learning classes to make them more effective.

Summary Texas State University is missing out on some important trends right now. E-learning, collaborative learning, andragogy theory, and social media are all here to stay in the education department. Texas State University needs to develop and apply these four trends to stay current and to be more successful. Students are looking for schools that cater to their learning preferences and styles, so Texas State University needs to address these trends immediately. The Training Trends Plan shows the goals, objectives, and strategies to use to prepare and complete the process.
