For your final project, you will be required to create a multimedia presentation about a train-the-trainer program you would design. Your challenge is to create an approximately 10 minute overview presentation about how you would teach future trainers about creating training programs. In addition to content requirements, you must utilize at least three forms of media, which may include PowerPoint, Prezi, sound, etc.. Another requirement will be the inclusion of a downloadable job aid, which can be in the form of a written file or an audio file.

As you progress through the course, you will learn both about training and development and some of the technology skills you will need to complete your assignment. In week six you will be required to submit a rough draft of your project for review. This will be graded and returned to you with feedback in time to make adjustments prior to your final submission.

Topic Requirements for Program Design:

Your presentation should include each of the topics listed below. Discuss "what" each topic is and why it is important to program design.

Job Aid: Choose one aspect of your presentation about which you will create a job aid. It can be in document form, an infographic (in a document), or a quick podcast.
