- Review and refine the storyboard to ensure logical flow and engaging content delivery.
Evaluation Criteria: Submissions will be judged on the creativity, clarity, and logical progression of the storyboard and script. The DOC file must reflect thoughtful planning and alignment with both technical requirements and pedagogical principles as addressed in your Adobe Captivate Certification Course. A clear connection between instructional design theory and practical application is essential, and the document should reflect approximately 30-35 hours of work.
Task Objective: During Week 3, you will focus on the design and creation of interactive multimedia elements using Adobe Captivate. The goal is to develop a prototype slide or a small section of your module that demonstrates effective integration of text, images, audio, and video elements tailored to a beauty and wellness audience.
Expected Deliverables: A detailed DOC file containing descriptions and design plans, along with annotated screenshots or mock-up designs, outlining your approach to multimedia integration and interactivity in your eLearning module.
Key Steps to Complete the Task:
- Review design principles from your Adobe Captivate Certification Course related to multimedia usage.
- Create a mock-up design that includes a clear layout, multimedia elements, and interactive features.
- Describe the role and placement of each multimedia element and how they contribute to the learning experience.
- Detail the technical aspects such as transitions, triggers, and interactive timelines.
- Include a discussion on how your design aligns with accessibility considerations for the target audience.
Evaluation Criteria: Your submission will be assessed based on the creativity and functionality of the interactive design, the detailed rationale behind multimedia integration, and adherence to design standards highlighted in your course. The DOC file should showcase approximately 30-35 hours of planning and design work, with clear and detailed explanations supported by industry standard practices and your own creative approaches in the beauty and wellness context.
Task Objective: In this fourth task, you will develop effective assessments and quizzes designed to evaluate learner comprehension within your Adobe Captivate module. The focus is on creating engaging and pedagogically sound assessments that integrate seamlessly within the beauty and wellness training context.
Expected Deliverables: A DOC file that details the assessment blueprint including quiz questions, interactive assessment decision points, and a rationale for each assessment strategy employed.
Key Steps to Complete the Task:
- Review various types of assessment methods and quiz formats taught in your Adobe Captivate Certification Course.
- Identify key learning outcomes from your module that are suitable for measurement.
- Create a set of diversified quiz items (multiple choice, true/false, matching, etc.) that assess different levels of understanding.
- Detail the implementation process, including how interactive elements will trigger feedback or adaptive learning paths.
- Provide a rationale for each question and how it supports the learning objectives.
Evaluation Criteria: Your work will be evaluated on the basis of the diversity, clarity, and relevance of the assessment items. The DOC file should exhibit a thorough understanding of instructional assessment strategies, demonstrating clear linkage between each quiz item and targeted learning outcomes. The document should reflect approximately 30-35 hours of effort and provide a comprehensive breakdown of the assessment design process, ensuring that each component is justified with educational best practices tailored for the beauty and wellness sector.
Task Objective: This week you will design advanced interactive experiences and simulations within Adobe Captivate that enrich the learning experience. The task is centered on developing interactive scenarios or simulations that allow learners to practice decision-making in realistic beauty and wellness situations, thereby applying theoretical knowledge in a practical, immersive environment.
Expected Deliverables: A DOC file documenting your simulation design, including a flowchart of the interactive experience, detailed descriptions of user interactions, and explanations of how these simulations reinforce learning objectives.
Key Steps to Complete the Task:
- Review simulation design strategies and interactive scenario planning from your Adobe Captivate Certification Course.
- Identify a realistic scenario in the beauty and wellness field where decision-making can be effectively simulated.
- Create a detailed flowchart showcasing different user paths and decision points.
- Describe each interactive element, trigger, and feedback mechanism used within the simulation.
- Discuss how the designed simulation provides practical application of the course content and supports learner engagement.
Evaluation Criteria: The DOC file will be evaluated based on the innovativeness, clarity, and depth of your simulation design. It should demonstrate advanced planning and creativity, accurately reflecting around 30-35 hours of work. Your submission must include a detailed narrative that connects your simulation design with broader learning objectives, with clear explanations of how each interactive feature enhances the practical learning experience in the beauty and wellness context.
Task Objective: In the final task of this virtual internship, you will integrate all previous components—strategic planning, storyboarding, multimedia, assessments, and interactive simulations—into a cohesive Adobe Captivate module concept. Additionally, you will develop an evaluation report that outlines how the module will be tested, refined, and documented for future iterations.
Expected Deliverables: A DOC file that consolidates all elements into a comprehensive project report. The file should include an integration plan, a timeline for module deployment, a feedback and evaluation strategy, and recommendations for further enhancements.
Key Steps to Complete the Task:
- Review all previous task deliverables and synthesize them into a single coherent module plan.
- Develop an integration plan that details how all components work together seamlessly.
- Create a structured timeline that includes testing phases, feedback cycles, and final adjustments.
- Elaborate on evaluation techniques and feedback mechanisms to be employed after module deployment.
- Provide recommendations for iterative improvements based on anticipated learner feedback and performance metrics.
Evaluation Criteria: Your final DOC file will be evaluated on the overall coherence, professionalism, and completeness of the module integration plan. It should clearly demonstrate the entire development process, document around 30-35 hours of dedicated work, and offer insightful analysis into potential challenges and future improvements. The evaluation report must be detailed, well-organized, and reflective of both theoretical knowledge and practical application learned throughout your Adobe Captivate Certification Course.
