- Documentation: Organize your strategy into a structured DOC file with sections including Introduction, Objectives, Target Audience, Proposed Interactive Elements, and Conclusion.
- Review and Edit: Ensure clarity and cohesiveness, and proofread your document for professional quality.
Evaluation Criteria
- Clarity and depth of the strategic planning.
- Relevance and integration of automotive topics with interactive e-learning practices.
- Organization and structure of the DOC file.
- Overall presentation and justified decision-making in the content strategy.
This assignment should take approximately 30 to 35 hours of dedicated work. Ensure your DOC file submission is comprehensive and uses proper formatting and organization to demonstrate your planning process and strategic insights.
Task Objective
This week, you will transition from planning to the creative phase by designing a detailed storyboard and concept plan for an automotive training module using Adobe Captivate. The goal is to create an engaging, interactive learning experience that highlights key automotive mechanics and safety procedures. Your final deliverable is a DOC file that outlines the storyboard, including mock-ups, narrative flow, and technical notes regarding Adobe Captivate functionalities.
Expected Deliverables
- A well-organized DOC file containing the complete storyboard.
- Sectioned details of narrative sequence, interactive elements, and conceptual design.
- Mock-ups or sketches (described in text) for each screen or module.
Key Steps to Complete the Task
- Conceptualization: Brainstorm and define the core concept of your training module. Identify learning objectives and determine which automotive topics to cover.
- Storyboard Creation: Draft a detailed storyboard that maps out each screen or slide, specifying interactive elements, navigation, and multimedia inclusion. Use text descriptions to articulate visual designs.
- Integration of Adobe Captivate Tools: Explain which specific Adobe Captivate features will be employed (such as branching scenarios, simulations, and interactive quizzes) and justify their use.
- Documentation: Compile your storyboard into a DOC file, ensuring sections are clearly headed and your thoughts are logically organized.
Evaluation Criteria
- Creativity and clarity in the storyboard presentation.
- Practical integration of Captivate interactive features.
- Depth in explaining design decisions and interactive elements.
- Overall document structure and coherence.
Invest 30 to 35 hours to thoroughly develop and articulate your storyboard. This task must be self-contained and reflect your independent research and creative planning.
Task Objective
This week's task is focused on the execution phase where you will outline the development process of an actual interactive learning module optimized for automotive training. You will produce a detailed DOC file that serves as a comprehensive guideline for using Adobe Captivate to build an engaging simulation or interactive scenario. The emphasis is on defining the workflow, content transitions, interface design, and interactive components that enhance the learning experience.
Expected Deliverables
- A DOC file detailing the execution plan for developing the interactive module.
- Step-by-step guidelines on incorporating interactive features such as simulations, assessments, and multimedia elements using Adobe Captivate.
- Technical notes and expected outcomes for each development phase.
Key Steps to Complete the Task
- Planning the Workflow: Draft an outline of the module’s structure detailing each phase from concept to final interactive build. Address content layout, user experience, and technical integration.
- Defining Interaction Points: Identify and describe key interactive components such as clickable hotspots, assessments, and scenario-based decision trees. Explain the rationale behind each interactive element and its expected learning impact.
- Technical Documentation: Provide detailed instructions for using Adobe Captivate features to implement the planned interactions. This includes specifying the tools, functions, and settings to be used.
- Consolidation: Organize the execution plan into a clear DOC file format with sections on Workflow, Interactive Elements, Implementation Steps, and Expected Outcomes.
Evaluation Criteria
- Depth and clarity of the module development plan.
- Logical ordering and completeness of the documented steps.
- Clear linkage between automotive training needs and interactive solutions.
- Comprehensiveness and professional presentation of the DOC file.
This detailed plan should reflect approximately 30 to 35 hours of thoughtful work. Ensure all sections provide adequate detail and can serve as an independent guide for module development.
Task Objective
In the final week, you will develop a thorough evaluation and testing plan for your interactive automotive training module designed in Adobe Captivate. The objective is to create a comprehensive DOC file that outlines strategies for assessing both the user experience and the learning outcomes. You will also develop an iterative improvement plan that identifies potential challenges, test scenarios, and metrics for measuring success. This task requires you to think critically about how learners interact with digital courses, ensuring your plan accurately identifies evaluation techniques and continuous improvement methodologies.
Expected Deliverables
- A DOC file with a detailed evaluation, testing, and improvement plan.
- Sections covering testing methodologies, user feedback collection, performance metrics, and iterative development cycles.
- Specific recommendations on using Adobe Captivate’s features for gathering analytics and enhancing content based on test results.
Key Steps to Complete the Task
- Evaluation Strategy: Define the objectives of the evaluation and explain why each metric is important for automotive training content. Describe both qualitative and quantitative measures.
- Testing Methodologies: Outline different testing approaches (e.g., usability testing, pilot sessions, A/B tests) and provide detailed instructions on how these tests will be conducted.
- Feedback Collection: Explain the process for gathering, analyzing, and applying user feedback. Include a plan for surveys or questionnaires and Adobe Captivate analytics features.
- Improvement Plan: Develop an iterative improvement cycle, detailing how you would adjust and enhance the module based on testing outcomes. Include potential challenges, proposed solutions, and timelines for revisions.
- Documentation: Ensure all information is neatly organized in a DOC file with clear headings and subheadings, allowing someone unfamiliar with the project to understand the evaluation strategy.
Evaluation Criteria
- Comprehensiveness and clarity of the evaluation and improvement strategy.
- Feasibility and detail in the testing methodologies.
- Innovative use of Adobe Captivate features in gathering and utilizing feedback.
- Quality of written communication and organization of your plan.
This assignment is expected to take around 30 to 35 hours. Your DOC file should serve as a standalone evaluation blueprint that can guide the testing and iterative improvement process for an interactive automotive training module.
