1.1 THE WHO OF LEARNING

LEARNING PERSONAS

Click on each of the personas to view in full screen

Design considerations:

• Need to consider that we are creating content for some learners for whom English is not their first language.
• Microlearning would work well so that it can be fit into busy schedules.
• Asynchronous learning will help suit different time zones and availability.
• Using visual elements such as diagrams and videos would suit our learners well.
• Adopting an element of social learning or workshop would help cement the learning.

COMMENTARY

LEARNING PERSONA ANALYSIS

Common themes identified:

• All our learners are good with technology and work on a laptop for a large part of their working week.
• All personas work full-time with busy lifestyles.
• The perception is that cyber security is hard to learn and there are many acronyms making it feel inaccessible to many.
• All enjoy learning through workshops and social learning.

1.2 THE WHY OF LEARNING

THE BUSINESS PROBLEM

Our company sells networking solutions and we have ambitions to expand the cyber security part of the business by upselling cyber security products with every network we sell. Currently not all of our sales managers are confident in discussing cyber security and the risks that companies are facing from cyber threats.We are not expecting them to have an in-depth knowledge of cyber security, but just enough to get the customers interested and then bring in one of our cyber security specialists to support with the detail. Therefore there is a requirement for a basic introductory course to introduce security concepts and principles in a way that our sales managers can understand and help them engage in conversations with their customers.This course will also be of interest to others in our company who support our security sales teams and want to understand more.

1.2 THE WHY OF LEARNING

Learning goal:

To upskill our sales and account managers on cyber security concepts and principles and, in turn, enable them to upsell our cyber security products.

Entry level:

No prior knowledge of cyber security.

Learning gap:

Our learners currently have no or very little knowledge of cyber security (Level 1 of Bloom's taxonomy) and we need to get them to a level where they are confident in raising the issue and discussing cyber security themes and concerns with their customers (Level 2 of Bloom's taxonomy).

Target level:

Level 2 'know', 'understand' and 'apply' from Bloom's taxonomy.

Learning objective:

By the end of the course you will be able to understand the issues facing your customers in relation to cyber security and be able to confidently introduce the subject into your customer conversations.

Here are the learning outcomes that will be covered in the course.

learning outcomes

Timely - we want them to start applying it straight away in their future conversations with customers

Relevant - if they understand then they can use this information to ensure a customer understands

Achievable - they will have been shown examples of what these assets could be within the course

Measureable - they’ll be able to make a short list of the possible assets

Specific - it asks the learner to describe something specific – the assets

Learning outcome 1: Define what a company’s assets might be and why it’s important to protect these assets:

COMMENTARY

RATIONAL FOR LEARNING OUTCOMES

I’ve used Bloom’s taxonomy to ensure that the language is clear and easy to understand, and that the learning outcomes are measurable.This course will work on Lower Order Thinking Skills (LOTS) – remember, understand and apply - from Digital Taxonomy.I’ve used the SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Timely) principle to ensure that the learning outcomes are well structured and well written. To the right I have taken one of the learning outcomes as an example to demonstrate that it follows the SMART benchmark ->

Content

The content will include the following building blocks:

1.4 THE HOW OF LEARNING

Delivery mode:

The training will be delivered in a digital asynchronous format for learners to work through online courses in their own time. For non-sales people, this content will be sufficient for their needs. For people in a sales role there will be further training to deepen their knowledge with workshops to practice what they’ve learned. This was decided based on the learning personas which indicated that our sales people enjoy workshops and social learning. However this will be a future phase and is out of scope for this project.

Building blocks:

Flow model

The training will follow a linear flow model. The online modules need to be completed in order for it to make sense and all learners should complete all parts of the training.Please click on the diagram to the right to see a larger version.

1.4 THE HOW OF LEARNING

I also noted from the personas, particularly the ones in a sales role, that they enjoy workshops and social learning. However I have not included these aspects as this course is only intended as an introduction to the basic principles and concepts of cyber security.However I will be taking this into account for the next phase of training to deepen their knowledge as it will work well with the learning outcomes which will cover Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS).This now completes part 1 of my project which covers the 'A' and first 'D' of the ADDIE process. I have found this to be a good logical way of working through the planning stages of the course and the process acts as a checklist to ensure all decisions are carefully considered and nothing is missed out.

COMMENTARY

the how of learning

Based on the learning personas, I chose an online asynchronous model which will suit the busy schedules and differing time zones of the learners. As the learning outcomes are lower levels of digital taxonomy using Lower Order Thinking Skills (LOTS) then an online asynchronous course seems most appropriate. The course will be made up mostly of animated videos, and some text and infographics to give some variety from the videos. Each module will start with an activity such as a pre-knowledge check or scenario based exercise.

Part 2

2.1 INTRODUCTION

Part 2 of this project covers the 'development' part of ADDIE.For part 2 of this project, I have chosen to create design documentation for a multi-media eLearning course. From the modular framework I will be working on Module 1 ‘Basics of Cyber Security’. The content already exists as a number of short videos. I want to bring these together into a multi-media eLearning course to give the learner a better user experience. In the multi-media course I will be adding in text and interactive activities to create a more varied learning experience. The multi-media course will include a toolkit of useful links to other resources. Once complete, the eLearning course can be added to our Learning Management System (LMS) and this will enable us to track how many people are completing the course.

For this project I will be creating the design documentation for 'Module 1: Basics of cyber security' as shown on the modular framework highlighted in yellow below.

Scope document

As I used Rise 360 for my prototype, then I chose to use the combined screenplan/storyboard template which suits the format on Rise 360 better. Once I had created all the design documents, building the course on Rise 360 was quick and easy as I had everything I needed (titles, text, images, links to videos, etc) all ready just to populate on the system. This showed that spending time at the start creating each of the design documents was well worth doing.

I created the wireframe using Gagne’s (1965) Nine Events of Instruction principles. First of all I will be gaining their attention with a hook at the beginning, then informing learners of the learning objectives, etc. I did not include ‘recalling prior learning’ as this is a course for complete beginners and so previous knowledge is not required. I broke the content down into segments and used various formats so as to keep the learners interest. In the wireframe I decided to put a summary section only at the end of the overall module rather than at the end of the individual sections due to the fact that the content sections are short and it will feel repetitive to the learner to have a summary so soon after learning the content.

COMMENTARY

part 2: id plan & prototype

For my prototype I chose to create a multi-media eLearning course. This was a new skill for me to learn and I hadn't used any authoring tools before. I will need to use Rise 360 for my current role at work so it made sense to create my prototype on Rise 360 to help me start to become familiar with the tool.I found the scope document invaluable to help me focus on what we were trying to achieve in module 1 and ensured that I didn't miss out a topic that I needed to cover.As I used Rise 360 for my prototype, then I chose to use the combined screenplan/storyboard template which suits the format on Rise 360 better.

Rollout & Evaluation Plan

Part 3

3.1 rollout plan

learning platform

This course will be hosted on our organisation’s existing Learning Management System (LMS) called SuccessFactors. There are a number of factors behind that decision. Strong analytics - which will enable us to accurately track who has completed the training. This is important as we will be expecting everyone in a sales role to complete this training and will be able to follow up on anyone who hasn’t completed it. Single Sign On (SSO) functionality - making it as easy as possible for colleagues to access the system without having to remember/reset their password if they haven’t used it for a while. This will make it a seamless process and means they are less likely to give up on completing their learning. Regulatory rules - this LMS platform complies with global data protection laws. This is especially important for us as a Global company with colleagues in different countries all with different laws. For example, it handles the fact that we cannot report on progress of our colleagues in Germany due to their personal privacy laws. Course format – this course has been built on Rise 360 which outputs as a SCORM 1.2 file and this is compatible with SuccessFactors.Pricing – using the existing platform means that there is no extra cost to the organisation.

If your thing is to capture the attention of your audience, match with your target and leave everyone speechless, this Genially template is for you. It is clear and structured to convey information in an organized and hierarchical way, and to achieve delivering content that excites the brain. Animation and interactivity are two fundamental pillars for this.Tags, windows, links, audios... With Genially, you can include any type of interactivity to add additional content and give it an animation to capture the attention of your audience. Did you know that Genially allows you to share your creation directly, without the need for downloads?

Is it a bird? Is it a plane? It's a space where you can talk about the mission and vision of your project.

Interactivity and animation can be your best allies in making content fun.

That's why, at Genially, we use AI (Awesome Interactivity) in our designs, so you can level up with interactivity and turn your content into something that adds value and engages.

Need more reasons to create dynamic content to tell stories?

90% of the information we assimilate comes through our sight, and we retain 42% more when the content moves.

I created the modular framework by working top down from the learning outcomes, grouping them together into modules of a similar subject matter.Initially I had broken the topics within module 3 down into further sections, however on reflection this was not necessary and was overcomplicating the content map.

Commentary

Modular Framework

When carrying out a presentation, you have to pursue two objectives: conveying information and avoiding yawns. To achieve this, it can be a good practice to create an outline and use words that engrave in the minds of your audience.If you want to provide additional information or develop the content in more detail, you can do so through your oral exposition. We recommend that you train your voice and rehearse: the best improvisation is always the most practiced one! Remember to add animation! Capture the attention of your audience with your content and choose the ideal effect by selecting the element and clicking on the Animation icon, which appears just above.

Good: 90% of the information we assimilate comes through our eyes and, furthermore, we retain 42% more information when the content is moving. When conducting a presentation, we must pursue two objectives: transmitting information and avoiding boredom. To achieve this, it can be a good practice to create an outline and use words that will be engraved in the minds of your audience.
