Abstract

I worked for one year as an independently contracted E-learning Designer with a Fortune 500 Company located in Pennsylvania. I utilized my expertise to develop safety and health e-learning modules that could be utilized on the various computers and operating systems within the company and could be modified to meet the specific needs of each of the company’s locations. Since the company had no formal method for assessing the effectiveness of e-learning modules, I developed and implemented a research study that would pilot the concept of evaluating the educational effectiveness of e-learning modules. The research study was comprised of a Pre-Module and a Post- Module Survey that could be used as “bookends” to an e-learning module. The Pre-Module Survey, Driving Readiness Module, and Post-Module Survey were joined by a series of linear links and placed on the company’s intranet. At the heart of the Pre-Module and Post-Module Surveys existed the questions that formed a Know, Want to Know, Learn Chart. The research study is currently a work in progress, but I have already learned valuable lessons about lesson design and research study development.
