 capture the screens and the narration of an expert performing
the procedure in a file format that can be integrated into
asynchronous e-learning lessons

 Consider these five issues when designing e-learning to
teach procedures:

i. Be Detailed
ii. Be Brief

iii. Be Flexible
iv. Reformat

v. Use Audio
7. Practice Methods for Procedures

 To be effective, training must provide relevant
information interspersed with frequent practice exercises

 In the classroom, give the step summaries in action or decision
tables in the training manual and provide a follow-along
demonstration. Then assign short exercises that require the

trainee to perform the procedure

 A common guideline in asynchronous e-learning is to follow
the first mistake with an error message and hint and follow
the second error with a demonstration of the correct

response
 Most workforce training programs lack sufficient time to

ensure complete learning of the many procedures
associated with jobs
