Example 3: Asynchronous Training Asynchronous distance education means that instruction is offered and students access it at separate times, or anytime is convenient to them (Simonson, Smaldino, Albright, Zvacek, 2012). Kalliance.com states that asynchronous training occurs remotely, where students partake in the course according to their own time frame, their own schedule, or their own choosing as it fits into their lifestyle. An example of this method would be self-study, self-paced classes, conducted and studied online or through the use of a computer based training CD or DVD (www.kalliance.com). As we look at the scenario for the poor safety records and the company is looking for modules that should involve step-by-step processes and the method of delivery needs to be available to all shifts at the plant. The goal is to get all employees engaged and to demonstrate their learning from the modules. The learning technology I would use is Web 2.0 technology. According to Teaching and Learning at a Distance 2012, Web 2.0 applications emerged as a tool to promote collaboration, networking, sharing, and widespread generation of content and the editing and mixing of content from diverse sources for new purposes through a model call the mash-up, by both groups and individuals. Examples of web 2.0 are blogging, wikis, podcasting, social bookmarking and social networking. For the purpose of the scenario I would use Edu2.0. I would create a portal that can be easily accessed by all shifts as well as the supervisors. Once the portal is accessed each person can look at the class catalogs and start in sequence. Each class demonstrates the need information for the safety training modules and would illustrate best practices on how to safely operate the many pieces of heavy machinery on the plant floor. The good thing about Edu2.0 is they offer self-paced classes so there is no hurry to complete without really understanding the material. At the end of each section would be an assessment of what the individual has learned. This would be needed before proceeding to the next section. The last part of the classes would be open forum discussion between the difference shifts as well as supervisors. Discussion allows them to post their feedback and to discuss other colleague’s comments. In closing, Edu2.0 offers text, images, videos, audio, slideshows and SCORM modules. SCORM stands for Sharable content Object Reference Model. SCORM (Sharable Content Object Reference Model) is a collection of specifications that enable interoperability, accessibility and reusability of web-based learning content. SCORM content can be delivered to learners via any SCORM-compliant Learning Management System (LMS) using the same version of SCORM (“Intelligence,” n.d.). I would incorporate these modules into the overall training of the employees to make sure that each employee has an understanding of what is needed to operate the heavy machinery and to be safe while doing it.
