Ashford 2: - Week 1 - Discussion 2

Instructional Design Dilemma

   You have been tasked to train 12 remote teachers (or employees). Your   learners live across the country and it will be impossible for each of them   to meet in one location. Gwen, a college intern, suggests that you should   meet with the group using a webinar or instant messaging tool. Please   research at least 4-5 five webinar and/or instant messaging products. For   example:
 

Skype
AIM
 

  Discuss the pros and cons of using synchronous learning tools. Consider   within your response, factors such as cost, flexibility (assume you must   present a PowerPoint), scheduling, technical requirements, reuse of your   training content, and ease of use. Share any work situations that you believe   would benefit from synchronous learning.
 

  Respond to at least two peers with insightful comments, constructive   feedback, or examples to further your learning.
