For whom is the program developed? (characteristics of learners and or trainees) What do you want the learners or trainees to learn or demonstrate? (objective) How is the subject content or skill best learned? (instructional strategies) How do you determine the extent to which learning is achieved?

Challenges the Organization Faces in Completing the Project Web 2.0 tools training for faculty and instructors for smooth delivery of online classes. Successful Completion of implementation by due date Timely support from the technical departments Logistical Requirements Need approval from the client or design team leadership for additional funding or for using resources

strategies To ensure a successful completion on-time, have a weekly timeline to manage the implementation stages Recommendation for Overcoming the Challenges Timely support by other departments is crucial before, during, and after the implementation phase. Educators are to be trained to use chat tools like discussion board and Google Chat to facilitate collaborative learning. Also once or twice during the course there will be real-time discussions. Synchronous as well a Asynchronous tools will need to be used effectively. Making the transition from face-to-face to online learning. Also creating a safe environment for students to interact and collaborate ideas and opinions.

Presentation Summary ABC English School is scheduled to launch its online program on December 9 th. All members involved in the design process must follow the guidelines to ensure a successful completion by the due date.
