{$revisiontimestamp} {$revisioneditor} Needs Assessment Report from Larry

From Christina: Phillip and I finished and posted the Instructional Unit tonight. We worked really hard and I am confident we have earned full points.

I recall that Larry told the professor he would attend the F2F meeting tomorrow at UCF. I look forward to seeing the feedback from the professor on your work and the seeing the progress you all have made by Tuesday night. Please post it to this WIKI so we can all see it and let us know all by email too to ensure everyone is made aware. Thank you

1269120955 Christina - When you get back at it give me a call at the house #

From Christina:Hello March 20 Saturday The instructional Unit is coming along. I gave it a 'voice', edited and revised most pages, added the objectives and am re sequencing the pages as I see them logically via a Next button. See if you like or agree with what is there thus far. Phillip, I noticed you have a Resources page, but I began a References page and started add footnotes APA style except I haven't yet fiqured out how to use superscript (?) for the foot note numbers yet. I have questions ready for the assessment as well. I will work again later today-been up since 5 a.m...

From Christina: I like it-I will edit the other pages and leave benefits on the benefits page- I also wrote the questions and meant to put the questions I wrote on the WIKI...but left them at work (oooops!) I will have to reconstruct them because I am working in the field tomorrow (literally)

From Phillip - Christina, I think the benefits page is the place it needs to be - I was just putting things together as they came to me. It is by no means correct in format. I'm sure there are plenty of things in the wrong place right now. I think we should put all the benefits in the benefits page.

From Justin: Sure Scott I am up for it. I guess it would be best for Larry to set up a time since he has the Phone Conference Tools. From Scott: Larry and Justin you guys want to schedule a time so we can work on the NA draft?

Hi Phillip:

Need for Knowledge Management Page Introduction Page Creation and Acquisition Page After completing this instructional module, students will: 1 Define Knowledge Management (KM) 2-Identify Benefits of KM 3-Discuss various benefits of KM  4-Discuss ways knowledge can be acquired or brought into an organization. // 5- Describe trends that led to KM development //
 * 1-I edited the**
 * 2-I wrote some Objectives**
 * Objectives **

3- I wrote some questions for the assessment, they are short essay...is that okay?  **//Please list four of these benefits with a brief explanation of each.//**

 Lastly, I noticed that we have multiple places where we state benefits, on the Benefits Page, the Introduction Page and the Knowledge management page. I think its better to have benefits all in one place, if you agree, do you have a preference for the page/ and the 'set of benefits?

From Christina:March 17 12:40 P.M. I am in the process of creating objectives and questions..and .I edited and reformatted the Creation and Acquistion page on the Instructional Unit

We can do the same for this one Christina, that was just an example I put together showing the options.

March 17, 2010. I am going to do the objectives and the questions and the editing on the Instructional Unit. I will have it all done by Friday.**
 * From Christina: Thanks so much for attending the F2f Phillip.

From Christina: I am looking forward to hearing about the F2F class meeting Christina - this is what I was talking about: @http://www.onlinestudents.us/eme6457/index.php?sid=44458&lang=en

from Christina; Thanks Phillip, I took the quiz- very impressive!
 * From Christina: Thanks Larry, great idea.

From Phillip:** I think that is a great idea Larry

Team,
 * From Larry** 8 Mar 2010 at 0919: The prof sent this response......

While you included all of the main sections of the assignment, I am thinking that your interventions may have changed due to my NA Plan draft comments. When you submitted this activity, you didn’t really have a performance problem statement. As you are aware now, we are focusing on non-instructional interventions in this class but you still get full points for your submission because you associated your intervention with one from the readings. Just be sure to include some non-instructional interventions with your NA Report.

Dr. Rawls

......So we have earned the points, but have some non-training interventions to add. Some thoughts are adding a help feature to the software, perhaps some templates and steps to filling out the data fields to simplify the tasks of entering student registration info etc. I submitted a table a while back maybe we can use some of these? .

From Christina: NA Feedback

If you have not yet seen the feedback from the NA plan on the UCF website...I propose we use his suggestion, "Scheduling errors have increased 25% over the last year since an electronic system was implemented".

"Online Team,

Overall - the NA Plan looks ok. However, you have one very significant issue, which is your problem statement.

The problem statement needs to be a measurable cogent statement. So what is the problem? Turnover? Scheduling errors? Let's take scheduling errors for example - the ps may read:

"Scheduling errors have increased 25% over the last year since an electronic system was implemented".

Now you have measurable problem that you can implement an intervention, test it, and determine if it is effective based on your proposed solution. There could be training issues, interface issues, resource issues, etc. Since this is a performance technology class we are trying to stay away from training issues and look at non-training interventions. But as you can see - at this point it could be a host of problems, which gets to my next point.

You shouldn’t be proposing an intervention at this time. It's alright to list possible interventions but you won't know until you conduct the assessment.

So I think you can still save this plan but you need to have a solid performance problem. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions. You have some work to do before next week but it can be done.

Also, you may want to think about having a team member at the f2f meetings because we review these concepts in detail. It may not be possible for your group - just a suggestion. All of the other teams are represented.

Thanks! Dr. Rawls"

=Start Here= If you haven't used a WIKI before please explore the site. Remember that we still have to post and comment and respond to the UCF Discussion board as the professor directs-this site is for our collaboration only. You'll find that this WIKI is simpler to access than UCF, is never down for maintenance on Sunday and we can sign up for email alerts which means that an email will be sent to your personal account when another of our team enters new info to our WIKI.

Go to **Notify Me (link is at the top of this page)** to sign up for email alerts.

The Discussion tabs at the top of each page have posed some problems for folks in the past, so I think it is best to start an **Ongoing D****iscussion page** and **avoid the discussion tab at the top of the page-**ok? You will see the link to ON going Discussion page at the left of the page in the Nav bar.

=Next Step= Please go to On going Discussion page and post your info. We also need to come up with a team name so place your suggestions on the On going Discussions Page.
