Whether you are rolling out a new time-and-attendance system, upgrading your accounting software, or sharing the best tips and tricks on Microsoft Excel, e-learning courses can be a great way to get software training to the people in your organization. But how do you approach such a project?

In this webcast, you’ll look at six key design decisions you’ll need to make when creating online software training. You’ll tackle everything from whether to teach only the procedural steps or the underlying business rules and concepts for how to structure practice activities to provide just enough support to your learners.

Specifically, you’ll address these questions:
• Do you teach just the procedures, or more?
• What can you cut?
• Are you targeting new or existing users?
• How will you incorporate practice and reinforcement activities?
• How much instruction do you provide before a practice or assessment?
• How much help do you provide in the feedback?

You’ll get to see real examples of these options so you can get a sense of what the learner experience would be like and how that approach might work in your environment.
