Rapid performance analysis, is there such a thing? In a discussion with a LinkedIn connection, the topic of a quicker way to complete an effective performance analysis came up. My favorite resource for helping work my way through a performance analysis quickly is Mager and Pipes "Quick Reference Checklist."

Another DevLearn workshop I got a lot out of was “Opportunities for Performance Support” with Allison Rossett. I learned to always ask myself “Do they already know how to perform this task?” By providing a job aid that makes the task simpler for them you can have much better results than investing in training and more training.

A common hit on eLearning is that it does not have the benefits gained through face to face interaction and collaboration with others that ILT can provide. I love this type of lesson because it focuses on learners demonstrating the performance and generally there is not much lecture involved.

The process begins by the facilitator communicating the guidelines through email and will conclude with the participants meeting to perform the presentations. This step of the process is initiated through an email from the facilitator describing the guidelines of the project and providing access to the project web site.

Demonstrates Objectives It seems obvious that your project based learning assessment must require learners to demonstrate the performance described in the instructional objectives but it can be easy to become carried away with a creative project and lose sight of your goals.

In project based learning students use a variety of resources such as the internet and books or even better, resources used to perform their jobs such as company intranets, software, job aids, manuals, and wikis to construct their own solutions to the problem they are being asked to solve. So, what is project based learning?
