3. Copyright 2000 - South-Western College Publishing Module 20 - 3 Learning Theory & Instructional Design: Behaviorism  Identify the desired terminal behavior  Identify subordinate behaviors  Based on subordinate behaviors, decide on prerequisites  Specify performance objectives for subordinate behaviors  Develop test items for the specific performance objectives  Develop the instructional materials  Evaluate the effectiveness of instruction

4. Copyright 2000 - South-Western College Publishing Module 20 - 4 Learning Theory & Instructional Design: Constructionism  Define the boundaries of learning goals.  Identify specific cases.  Identify the most important themes/perspectives.  Map multiple paths through cases to illustrate themes.  Provide learner-controlled access to cases.

5. Copyright 2000 - South-Western College Publishing Module 20 - 5 "Good" Internet-based Training Enhances motivation  Training materials are appropriate to ability/skill levels.  Material is organized into learnable units (chunks).  Opportunities for learner self-evaluation.  Job-relevance of training is clear.  Successes are rewarded.  Training experiences are involving.

6. Copyright 2000 - South-Western College Publishing Module 20 - 6 "Good" Internet-based Training Enhances learning  Training materials capture and retain attention.  Learning objectives are clearly stated.  Appropriate complexity and speed of materials.  The "big picture" is always clear to the trainee.  Material is organized into learnable units (chunks).

7. Copyright 2000 - South-Western College Publishing Module 20 - 7 "Good" Internet-based Training Encourages the desired behavior  The desired behavior is modeled.  Feedback and reinforcement are provided.  Trainees role play the desired behavior.

8. Copyright 2000 - South-Western College Publishing Module 20 - 8 "Good" Internet-based Training In general  Focuses on the trainee.  Focuses on how to accomplish the learning objectives.  Allows the trainee to interact with the learning material.  Provides frequent and clear feedback.  Provides alternative paths to learning.  Allows the trainee to determine the path to learning.  Treats the trainee with respect and consideration.

11. Copyright 2000 - South-Western College Publishing Module 20 - 11 Advantages of Internet-based Training For the trainee:  self-paced, self-directed training anytime, anywhere  opportunities to explore topics in depth (i.e., links)  material is "edutaining" (educational and entertaining)  freedom to express oneself (i.e., ask questions)

12. Copyright 2000 - South-Western College Publishing Module 20 - 12 Advantages of Internet-based Training For the organization:  versatility with respect to trainees and training topic  ability to train anytime, anywhere  reliability (same training to everyone)  ease of making and delivering revisions, updates  links to related resources (avoids duplication of efforts)  cost effective (faster, better learning at less cost)
