Learning Assessment
for Course

In order to assess the learners understanding of the material, participants will complete scenarios, knowledge checks, and complete
a final quiz at the completion of the training. Scenarios and knowledge checks will be provided throughout the training to ensure
learner understanding. For the final quiz, participants will be required to complete this through the companys learning management
system. If participants do not score 80% or higher, they will be expected to recomplete the training and quiz again.

Learning Assessment
for RLO

Scenarios will be used to assess the participants learning of the RLO. The scenarios will provide learners with real world examples
of each type of sexual harassment to help them better understand and relate to the material. Leaners will read or listen to the
scenarios and decide which type of sexual harassment occurred. Feedback will be provided if answered incorrectly.

Instructional Delivery This course will be delivered in an e-learning format. Participants will be assigned the training through the companys learning
method for Course
management system and given a due date for completion. The training will consist of multiple modules that the participants will go
(overall)
through at their own pace.

Instructional Strategy The following instructional strategies will be used for this course:
for RLO
Absorb Type Activities: E-learning software will be leveraged to create the training presentation. Voice narration will be
used to go along with the content presented on the screens. Participants can choose to read the transcript of the narration on
each screen or just listen to the narration. Animation and graphics will be used to make the training more engaging for the
participants.

Do Type Activities: Scenarios will be presented to the participants throughout the training to give them real life situations to
relate the content to. After each scenario, participants will be asked to identify what type of sexual harassment has occurred.
Feedback will be provided if answered incorrectly.

Media

Articulate Storyline 2 will be used to create the training. Graphics with animation will be used on content slides.

508 Accommodations

The CBT will give learners the option of receiving the information through audio or they can choose to read the transcript. It will
also use graphics to display some of the information. Fonts and color contrasts will be utilized to make it more visually accessible
and appealing.

Course Structure
Description

The course will be available to learners in the companys learning management system. It will take approximately 30 minutes to

Development Time of
entire course and
RLO

To create a moderately interactive e-learning using Articulate Software it will take between 160-185 hours total for the entire
course. To develop the RLO, it will take between 20-40 hours to complete.

Support requirements In order to create this training and the RLO, I will need to utilize our SMEs in the HR department as well as resources on sexual
for RLO and course
harassment through the SHRM website or other reliable internet sources.
