Abstract:

The training and development of employees and other workers within an organization can prove challenging, especially for leaders whose area of expertise is focused on production. As such, training and people development is traditionally overseen by a Learning and Development (L&D) team that may or may not fall under the Human Resources (HR) umbrella. Organizations with multiple department, work locations, and function may have a variety of resources assigned to L&D tasks, including the development of training materials and instructional content.

The purpose of this project was to implement the various aspects of an eLearning program for a decentralized instructional design team. The team is decentralized by department, location and reporting structure, which required the implementation of standards and processes to ensure a consistent level of quality and presence in the eLearning instructional content. This consistency was introduced and maintained through the ADDIE instructional design model, software templates, writing standards, forms, and processes.
