Activity+6

I will be at karate until 5:45 or so. If you could call me at 407-913-5409 at that time it would be great.

from Chrisitina: Thanks Phillip- I 'll call as soon as I hit the road!

From Phillip: Sr. rawls suggested we appoint a project manager and get the ball rolling on our NA Report along with cleaning up our instructional unit. The deadlines will be her before you know it. Give me a call later Christina and I can give you a little more detail. Then if we can set up a group meeting again we can fill in the rest of the guys. Thank you for attending. I will call you-I have a long ride home ...may I call on the ride at 5:30 or will I disturb dinner?

From Christina: Hello everyone...Phillip gave me a list if different online sites that allow us to offer an assessment on our instructional site...I tried http://www.classmarker.com it works fine, I am trying the others this morning-for another project I am working on and will offer opinions / preference on the others. I tried Survey Monkey-its easy, but you need to upgrade/pay to get features that would be useful. Phillip-It looks like you went to the F2F meeting from the UCF email of discussion points-Is there any other feedback?

Try one of the following for making a quiz: http://www.classmarker.com http://mystudiyo.com @http://quizegg.com/ or if you want to do it as a survey: @http://polldaddy.com/ @http://www.surveymonkey.com/ @http://www.kwiksurveys.com/ http://obsurvey.com

From Phillip: You too! As soon as I hear word from Dr. Rawls I will let you know.

From Christina: Thanks for the meeting this morning.

From Justin: One final Change From Justin: Here is the document with an updates budget. If this is to high we can change it. 7:45AM

From Christina Sunday 7AM Our NA is due today, Going over the professor's comments I revised the problem statement again and noticed that on page 5, he said our budgetwas too low-we did not include labor costs or travel...Justin/Scott would you address it please? Here is our most recent version with new prob statement


 * H ere is a screen shot from the example the professor gave us **

I edited our NA Plan bit, but I wonder if we need a //Rationale,// as is the the example NA plan in resources...

From Phillip: Looks good, (this is a picky thing) but need to reformat so the exec summary begins on its own page.

From Justin: Here is an updated document with a few changes to the problem statement.

From Phillip: I sent an email regarding the instructional unit to everyone. As far as the additions here, I agree looks good just need to have them correspond with the statement. I let Dr. Rawls know we would be working on it Wed. during our online meeting. He said if we have any questions to let him know. Thanks guys!

From Christina, Thanks Phillip for communicating with him and delivering the good news!

From Christina: Thanks Justing and Scott! I //think// it looks **grea**t... I compared the problem statement with your table and it doesn't correspond to the table and graph... will you add adjust the years and numbers in the problem statement to match your table and graph ?

From Justin: Scott and I added a table and a graph on the error percentage to the document. Let us know what you think. Remember that we can tweak numbers.

From Phillip: What are you thinking for the table? I'm not sure I follow that part. From Christina: This is an example in the resources section


 * Please look at this! I added some, rewrote the problem statement-need collaboration from everyone**

From Phillip: I submitted to the course discussion board. We should be all set.

From Christina: Thanks Phillip and Larry for working tonight to get this assignment together! Phillip posted it just before 10

Thanks! This is the contact info for everyone we still need phone numbers for Scott and Justin and I vote for 9 a.m. ;-))

Frm Larry: The telecon number for ya'll to dial in is (888) 236-8982. Then the entry code for guests is: 452512. I host. We need to establish a call in time that works. Sunday at 6PM or earlier, say 0900? I need email addresses to send the invite to gatherplace to. Have to go do the March of DImes Winterfest this AM, will check back later.

From Christina I think we are looking really great on this one-thanks to everyone! **Larry, I really like your offer of Gatherplace and telcon. It gets my vote! Please tell us more, what we need to do and lets give it a try!

I think the Activity 6 revisions look great and the table as well. I do have something to offer in the REWARDS section of the table, I put a** * in the box to make it easy to find. As we are addressing HPT and how workers genuinely f//eel//, then perhaps a certificate as a reward is not enough. I can only speak for myself, but certificates don't feel like a reward for me...In addition to the certificate, do you think we could list/offer a reward that a learner, such as myself, would genuinely appreciate? For example, time off-a half a day off award, or 59 minutes off to be used at an appropriate time or something better?


 * From Justin:** I talked with Scott today and looked at what he has posted and what Phillip has added to it and it looks like they are hitting the major topics that the professor is asking for. I will try to see if there is anything that I can find to add to it.


 * From Larry:** My phone number is 321-917-6992 (cell), 321-305-4067 (home), email: cupac@aol.com. I have access to Gatherplace from my work laptop and can put a doc up that everyone can log on and see so we could do real time changes. Also I have a teleconference phone number that I can host and ya'll log in as guests so we can all discuss together. We could arrange a convenient time to get together via Gatherplace and telcon, and come to a consensus on the document and needed changes. let me know if you feel that would work better for the group, or be too much of a hassle to work a time to get together. I use these tools regulalrly, enables me to get my tech writers and ISD's together so much faster. I would need emails to send the invitation to for Gatherplace. Another option is put the doc up on this site and just do the telecon. Will check back.

didn't add them as I wasn't sure how to properly word them. They are: Improve employee performance and satisfaction Increase the efficiency of training - whcih really doesn't fit since we don'thave a training method actively in place.
 * From Phillip:** I had a similar document started but after viewing it compared to Scott's I just incorporated some of my points into his. [[file:Activity 6 revisions.docx]] Let me know what you think. I had additional points for the justification as a list but

THanks Scott and Larry, I know Phillip has been working on this too...we spoke about it 2 days ago. I would like to see what he has come up with. Then maybe we can make a time to post our thoughts, like Saturday midnight? By the way, we don't have everyone's phone number although Phillip and I posted ours on the ongoing discusion page. Larry, Justin, Scott, can we put our phone numbers here? Sometimes its important to have...mine is 407 766 2327
 * From Christina:**

From Scott: Looking at the description for this assignment, this is what I have so far. Thoughts please. Thanks



From Larry: Hi all! I put together a table as a starter for assessment 6. Please take a look and see if I am on target. Please let me know if there is anything you need me to work on, also if you have improvements I can make. Thanks and have a great day! = = =Module 6 Activity= I uploaded ebook copies of the material on the course website.

 * From Phillip**: I agree with you, but I also was thinking of HR Development Interventions since they too include training. HR deals with motivation as well. Which intervention fits better with our needs?


 * From Scott:** I think we can use Performance Support for our Intervention since it has the training portion included. What do you guys think?
