This
site offers an overview of the instructional design project management process,
detailing the potential pitfalls and trials that designers may run into
throughout the design process. It is a brief, but concise site that focuses on
speeding up the design process while minimizing errors and improving
efficiency. These tips can be used to help both novice and veteran designers
streamline their design process; it is especially helpful for those, like
myself, that have no process as of yet.
This
site specifically addresses budgeting in an instructional design project. The
author breaks down the process using a specific example, but also offers the
average development time for multiple types of design projects and estimations
for the amount of time it takes for instructor preparation, offering valuable
guidance for beginners such as myself. I recently started my own social media
and instructional design consulting company and one of my struggles has been
determining pricing; this site is an invaluable source and will help me
determine my pricing.

Christopher, I like the first site you posted as it give some estimates of the costs and times in creating training. I think I have looked at that site previously for other projects. Your other site looks interesting, too.

Christopher,
ReplyDeleteThe Don Clark website is a good choice. I have used this website as a reference in previous courses, and on various ID topics, you will find quality information. The tips that were provided on training cost guidelines, estimating development time, instructor prepartion time, seat time, and interactive multimedia instruction are pretty informative and helpful. The second site does a good job of explaining the challenges and benefits of project management. I also liked the model that was given for project forecast, plan, and track.
