INSTRUCTIONS:

You will need Yahoo Messenger installed on your computer. The software is a free download. If you do not have administrative rights on your computer you will have to contact your LSP to install the software.

You can get the software by going to:

For those of you who do not have Yahoo ID’s I have created Guest ID’s for the chat session. If you need a GuestID please let me know so that I can assign you an ID and add your name to that ID. It is important that your name is associated with a particular ID so that others on the chat can see who is participating.

If you are have a Yahoo ID and are going to be logging in with that please send me your ID so that I can add you to my Messenger list and vice versa.

Below is a list of assignments I have made thus far. I will update this list and post it to the website as new assignments are made.

You can log in to Yahoo Messenger at any point using the ID’s assigned below. If you want to test the system feel free to send me an Instant Message.

September 5, 2007 you will need to log into Yahoo Messenger by 2:00. At 2:00 I will send out a conference invitation. A pop-up window should appear on your computer. The invitation may say invitation to a voice conference. Unfortunately, my computer does not have the voice capability and the voice feature will be disabled.

Anita’s LDI Project:

I will develop an online training module that will help Subject Matter Experts better understand e-Learning. The goal of the project is to improve communication between Subject Matter Experts and Instructional Designers during the early stages of module development. The online training module will be a tool that Subject Matter Experts and Instructional Designers can use before they begin developing an online training module.

Brainstorming Session:

The goal of this brainstorming session is to check forany limiting assumptions Subject Matter Experts and Instructional Designers may have about e-Learning. This chat session will be an opportunity for Subject Matter Experts to express any reservations and/or concerns they may have about developing e-Learning training modules.

I will ask each SME’s to respond (in alphabetical order) to the following questions. Once each SME has given their feedback I will ask the Instructional Designer/Developers to comment on their response. We will spend about 5 minutes on each question.
