Common threads in collaboration.
Who needs to be involved with the project? Ideally, you will will collaborate with supporting sponsors, SMEs, marketing, and managers in addition to your instructional designers.
While each organization has its own process, there are some common threads that help enable and sustain the collaboration required for a successful content creation (and upkeep) campaign. Click each icon on the right to reveal key topics to consider.
Does your team have a process? Have a system not only for creating content, but also have a distribution process (now and later) and outline steps for future review-and-update cycles.
Who is responsible for each task and who is accountable for its completion? Use something akin to a RACI chart (more to come on this!) to map out the who, what, when, where, and how of the project's tasks.
getting started
What is the most effective platform structure? Platform tools, groups, roles, and custom fields should be kept in mind as you plan for training creation, learner enrollment, and monitoring of statistics.
How will you ensure that content remains up-to-date for learners? Having a review-and-update cycle process instituted for future iterations of the training will ensure your team never falls behind with content accuracy.
The information provided in this training is a general recipe. It provides best practices, but it is up to you and your team to determine how to implement them in a way that makes sense for your organization, content, end users, and team's bandwidth. Does the recipe need more salt or spice? Toss it in!
