OASIS holds online training on ID and course dev

The Office of Academic Support and Instructional Services (OASIS) is conducting online training programs on instructional development and on content development. The training programs are among the continuing capacity and capability building activities for UPOU faculty and staff members who are involved in instructional design and course development. Dr. Jean Saludadez , the OASIS Director, said that primarily the training will "support the development of the courses under the Bachelor of Arts in Multimedia Studies and of other UPOU courses."

The course on Instructional Design will cover the following topics: needs assessment; analysis of learner characteristics; formulation of objectives; identification of range, structuring and preparation of course content, and identification of elearning scenarios. This will run from 14 July to 08 August 2008.

On the other hand, participants of the training on content development will learn the different steps of content production. These are review of available course content and elearning scenarios; editing of existing content, graphic, and multimedia; storyboarding; developing scripts for download and print; and producing added value. This online course will be conducted from 18 August to 12 September 2008.

Dr. Saludadez added that in the future, UPOU will offer the training courses to academicians, trainers, and other individuals who are not constituents of UP.

Prof. Juvy Lizette Gervacio and Prof. Sheila Bonito, both from the Faculty of Management and Development Studies, are the facilitators of the online training. (Luisa A. Gelisan, OC)
