Description

This introductory course gives working and aspiring instructional designers a grounding in the basics of multimedia scriptwriting. In the course, we'll trace the process of developing a compelling audio/visual script for a brief instructional multimedia piece of your choosing. A worksheet developed specifically for the course will guide you from start to finish, from identifying your target audience to creating a script with all the information needed to produce your piece. (Note: You will not be asked to create the multimedia piece, just the script for it.) Along the way, we'll explore many facets of professional scriptwriting practice, including: the essential steps of the scriptwriting process, the structure and instructional possibilities of three major forms of presentation (demonstration, documentary, and dramatization), and various production styles at your disposal. Weekly homework submissions based on the course¿s worksheet will be discussed openly and supportively at the start of each class session. Course objectives: -- To improve your ability to develop effective scripts for instructional multimedia components of various types -- To improve your ability to evaluate the skills of instructional scriptwriters.

Description

[Online Course] This course is about violence in America, about aggression in our schools, classrooms, streets, homes and elsewhere. The course speaks of the hatred, the fights, the anger, the crimes committed and the victims in our schools and society. This course covers the history of aggression in America and the many forms of aggression, both criminal and otherwise; its costs and motivation; its perpetrators and targets, its likely and unlikely locations; its impact on our schools, the children; and most especially its promising solutions. Topics of interest include violence and the challenge of raising and working with children; aggression in our classrooms; American youth gangs and their influence; past and future sports violence; "hot spot" locations of frequent violence; and the aggression-promoting role of alcohol, temperature, driving, television and other features of modern life. The course will also answer questions such as: Is aggression always bad? How do aggressive thoughts lead to aggressive actions? Is aggression, at least for some people, an addiction? How are the acts of aggression dealt with in other countries, and are there any lessons for America? The goal of this course is to help educators and adults understand a little better how aggression affects our lives and the lives of our children. Hopefully, with greater understanding and more skilled efforts at prevention aggression and violence in American schools will be reduced.

Description

This course introduces the fundamental concepts of Time Management (Scheduling), gleaned from the Program Management Book of Knowledge (PMBOK), Agile project management, and common practices in the industry. Many project/program managers attempt to self-educate on scheduling and, for years, remain beginners - unable to implement the inputs and outputs of a schedule, resulting in poor predictability. This tool-agnostic course is geared toward hands-on project managers, PMO leads, and middle management, who crave early warnings and predictable outcomes of a project.
