Scope Creep
A prior project involving Scope Creep included the Project Manager (PM) retiring. The PM is the essential part of project, and they often have vital information that isn't privy to anyone else. There should always be a backup and everyone should be on the same page as far as information and technical issues or concerned. Information such as missing and archived reports was an issue along with programming skill set and training. There wasn't any documentation or additional members on the team with similar knowledge or from similar backgrounds. Needless to say, this project came to a halt, and had to be reevaluated by Management because years of working knowledge were no longer available, causing major delays. There wasn’t a backup plan, and after much deliberation management decided to go with software altogether which didn’t require any coding and was user friendly.

Communicating Effectively
To prepare for this assignment, view the multimedia program "The Art of Effective Communication." In this program, you will observe a piece of communication in three different modalities: as written text, as audio, and as video. Pause after receiving the communication in each modality, and reflect upon what you interpret the message to mean. Think about the content and tone of the message. Record your interpretation of the message after receiving it in each modality. Then reflect upon the experience by considering the following:
How did your interpretation of the message change from one modality to the next?
What factors influenced how you perceived the message?
Which form of communication best conveyed the true meaning and intent of the message?
What are the implications of what you learned from this exercise for communicating effectively with members of a project team?
Post your interpretation of the message as it was delivered in each of the different modalities, pointing out what, if anything, changed about your interpretation from one modality to the next. Then share a synthesis of your thoughts regarding what this activity implies about communicating with members of a project team. What did you learn that will help you communicate more effectively with others in the future?
I have learned over the years privately and professionally to watch and observe different styles of communication using body language and voice tone to determine and decifile the message an invidual is trying to relay rather by email, v/m or face to face. By asking additional questions to gain insight, it very important to repeat the question for a clearer picture and to be on the same page. By repeating the information that was just stated. I can relate to the email, because yesterday I sent out a similiar email to different divisions who are currently late with their data, causing my report to be delayed. You have the opportunity to be tactful and word the email currently vs. face to face that may indeed send signals that you aren't necessarily trying to convey. The email was serious, but to the point. The voice mail explained how important the information was but not that it was urgent. Although, the face to face wasn't urgent, it was important for Mark to know that Jane made a special stop to come by his cubicle to receive the information she needed. It is important to "say what you mean and mean what you say" and rather you are giving someone advice or receiving information that you be precise and clear on instruction and write the details down to make references.

Project Post-Mortem.
One way to learn best practices and avoid mistakes on a future project is to review the results and activities from a project that you have completed. This is referred to as a project post-mortem.
A project that I have worked on in the past that was successful included automating two mainframe reports into a web based system, which was accurate and did not require tweaking or adjusting at the end of each month. The project included designing a new report which was user friendly and eliminated printing and manual distributing. Staff was limited and everyone had to be trained on the new system, once the programmers understood the old program in order to design the new design.
The Scope of Work was included, Stakeholders including Management, CIS and a PPT presentation which described the details and the report complex calculations. The project was cumbersome and time consuming. The project success largely is due to the advances in technology which eliminates any programming and simply allows departments or divisions to enter the data; the software produces the reports and has graphics which alert departments on their performance.

The perception of Distant Learning will improve positively and dramatically
within the next five to twenty years based on advances within technology and the
ability to interactive online with the World Wide Web. Both instructors, students
will be able to participate in courses across the world via the Internet. Distant
Learning popularity will increase as the digital divide is narrowed and our
lifestyle and society becomes more advanced and technical. The increase for
business and professional learning will largely rely on the Internet. Both adults
and Kindergarteners will utilize technology and distant learning from anywhere, on
any topic and anytime. Courses can be certified or non-certified, degreed or non-
degree for business or personal purposes.
As Instructional Designers we can initiate a positive image by developing functional
and practical designs and images that offer interaction and engagement by discussion
and research. By utilizing cutting edge technology, learning can be both stimulating and
challenging offering exciting alternatives to learning styles.
As designers being familiar with the latest technology and design equips us with the
proper tools to develop, replace or enhance existing traditional learning. As we
continue to strive to learn in order to give expert design and instruction to our learners, it
is imperative that we keep up with the latest trends in order to give our learners the best
we have to offer. By using precise. clear and accurate instruction enables learners to
perform their best and to “think outside of the box” while engaging with graphics and
design in order to communicate freely and openly over the internet with discussions
such as BLOGS and CMS‘s, etc. to the ends of the earth.
As an Instructional Designer, I plan to be a positive force for the continuous
improvement in the field of distant education by staying connected to Discussion
Groups and improving my technical skills, in order to incorporate the latest
technology and trends into my design. I plan to get the word out on Distant Learning and
inform others of the advantages and benefits in order to provide the highest quality
design and instruction with proper planning and training.
By breaking down social walls and barriers in education by
communicating to anyone who wants to learn from next door to Africa or China to
students all over the world. The sky is the limit for Distant Learning and tests for state
and federal exams can now be taken over the internet with webcam instead of traveling to
other cities or countries. Distant Learning has come a long way from television in the
classroom, or watching cable programs to the Wireless Internet utilizing technology and
satellite to gain knowledge. Distant Learning will affect everyone directly or indirectly.

Example 1: Collaborative Training Environment
A new automated staff information system was recently purchased by a major corporation and needs to be implemented in six regional offices. Unfortunately, the staff is located throughout all the different offices and cannot meet at the same time or in the same location. As an instructional designer for the corporation, you have been charged with implementing a training workshop for these offices. As part of the training, you were advised how imperative it is that the staff members share information, in the form of screen captures and documents, and participate in ongoing collaboration.
In Example 1 One way to share information and documentation is to implement Web 2.0 technologies, would be to implement podcasts in order to download pertinent information and documentation and incorporate productive communication to take place. Podcasting allows learners to store audio or video from the Internet and playback using ipod or MP3 players and information can be uploaded unto course management systems. In addition Blogging, allows students to journal on the Internet and pemits collaboration, interaction and communication between public or restricted groups such as staff members or students. There are free blogs like current one we are using for this class, which provide an excellent source of online reporting.

A new automated staff information system was recently purchased by a major corporation and needs to be implemented in six regional offices. Unfortunately, the staff is located throughout all the different offices and cannot meet at the same time or in the same location. As an instructional designer for the corporation, you have been charged with implementing a training workshop for these offices. As part of the training, you were advised how imperative it is that the staff members share information, in the form of screen captures and documents, and participate in ongoing collaboration.
In Example 1 One way to share information and documentation is to implement Web 2.0 technologies, would be to implement podcasts in order to download pertinent information and documentation and incorporate productive communication to take place. Podcasting allows learners to store audio or video from the Internet and playback using ipod or MP3 players and information can be uploaded unto course management systems. In addition Blogging, allows students to journal on the Internet and pemits collaboration, interaction and communication between public or restricted groups such as staff members or students. There are free blogs like current one we are using for this class, which provide an excellent source of online reporting.

Distance Learning has increased my knowledge and will enable me to further my career,by becoming enlightened to the fact that there are a variety of learning techniques and each individual is different.
New innovative technology must be developed in order to make new connections.
Enhancing typical design and using YouTube, Blog, and the World Wide Web for
research and incorporating vibrant interesting presentations which invoke students to interact by asking questions and use connections.
Allowing individuals to expand their knowledge while learning new techniques and applying previous experiences aid in implementing new strategies, as Instructional tools employing motivation is an essential piece to gaining our audiences attention and how they adapt, learn and follow overall instruction.
My personal understanding has been deepened by realizing that use of videos, World Wide Web, Blogs, and other visuals to learn makes it easier to comprehend. Courses which offer a variety of learning techniques to get over the main idea or point makes it easier for me to relate personally. "The idea of making the experience of the distant learner satisfying and acceptable as the expereience of the local learner."
Being able to follow instruction in order to create the Blog and Mind Map etc., allowed me to advance my knowledge and become involved in the chase idea of learning. By developing with exciting learning games enable audiences to participate, interact and engage regardless of their age, gender, location or economic background.
