RAPIDS
1 like189 views
The document describes RAPIDS, a rapid authoring platform for instructional design of scenarios. It aims to allow instructors to easily and quickly create scenarios for learners to understand and apply knowledge management techniques. The platform includes a scenarios database, assessments, and e-learning tools. It was tested in a pilot where participants used the scenario building tool to create and reconstruct knowledge management scenarios. Feedback indicated the tool was easy to use but could be improved by adding features like layer controls and motion. The goal is to help instructors create more engaging learning content without extensive time and effort.

- 2. Introduction ? Problem Statements: 1. Lack of certain tools; E-learning objects ¨C Simple Power Point files, PDF files, Word Documents, HTML files or Simple Flash Files 2. Instructors cannot devote sufficient energy nor time for more interesting flash or animations
- 3. Introduction ? Objectives of the project: 1. Scenarios can easily and quickly be created 2. Same platform can be used for the learners to acquire the skills to understand the applicability, scope and limitations of a technique, as well as apply the learnt technique in pre-composed scenarios 3. Knowledge management (KM) as LEARNING TOPICS/SCENARIOS 4. Competency profile component
- 4. Introduction ? What is a Scenario? ? Screenplay or outline or model of expected or supposed sequence of events ? Each scenario has a setting, a set of actors with specific activities/conversations
- 5. KM Scenarios ? Example: ? Setting: ? Office room with 3 persons sitting - CEO, IT Director, HR Director ? CEO: I just came back from a seminar about KM technologies. In the seminar, the speaker mentions about Enterprise Portals. Portals can do a lot of things for us e.g. document management, collaborations, communications and process management. IT Director, please study this type of tool and implement one for our company ASAP. ? IT Director: We already have an Intranet, a ERP, a document management system and several search engines. Why do we still need an enterprise portal? ? HR Director: (Thinking...) Our staff are already overloaded and they would be most reluctant to take up another tool. Does the CEO know this? If so, why does he insists on implementing the portal? It seems that the IT Director is saying we already have these tools but not necessarily encapsulated as a portal. So are there any further benefits brought about by the introduction of a portal? ? Ask the learner - What are some of the issues surfaced in the above conversation? (List multiple choice answers) ? What do you think the IT Director is trying to mean? (MC answers) ? Do you agree with what the HR Director is thinking? (Yes. Reason? No. Reason? I do not know) ? Based on the identified issues, select up to three initiatives you would pursue in this situation. (Multiple choice to choose from) ? If MC question, system will mark it immediately. If texts input, it will be collected/stored and pass to the instructor for review/marking.
- 6. Introduction ? What is Knowledge Management? ? A range of practices used in organization to identify, create, represent, distribute and enable adoption of insights and experiences Improved Performance Innovation Competitive advantage Sharing of lessons Continuous improvement of organization
- 7. Sources of KM Scenarios 1. Common KM methods e.g. Method cards 2. Knowledge worker archetypes 3. KM competency framework 4. Existing HKCyberU M.Sc. In KM scenarios 5. New/Simple scenarios e.g. collect from consulting practice 6. Composite scenarios (a combination of the above)

- 9. Conceptual Model ¨C Tools + Platform E-Learning Platform KM Methods/ Glossary Score Card Scenarios Database Assessments Build/Construct Scenarios/Quiz Interaction Reconstruct Scenarios E-learning Tools Other Tools
- 10. Evaluation Platforms Tools ? E-learning Rapid Tools. E.g:Quiz Maker and etc. ? Other Tools. E.g: MIT Scratch, Alice, Adobe Flash, Google Sketchup,Turntool and etc. ? Virtual World. E.g: Second Life, There, Active World, Opensim and etc. ? Tradition E-learning Platform. E.g: WebCT, SMILE

- 13. First Pilot Testing ¨C 8 Jul 2009 ? On 8th July 2009, we had conducted our first pilot testing in CF 401. In this 2 hour sessions, we had covered the following: ? An introduction of the tool, potential applications, demonstration and illustrations ? Hands on experience for every participant to use the tool to create/reconstruct KM scenarios ? Participant can create his/her own scenario for sharing ? Gathering of feedback on participants' experience about using the tool ? Discussion on further potential applications and improvements
- 14. Photos taken during First Pilot Testing
- 15. Feedbacks from Pilot Testing for SB Tool Yes N/A Not sure Usability in Organization? Strongly Agree Agree Disagree Easy to use?
- 16. Feedbacks from Pilot Testing for SB Tool Participants like most: ? Easy to build real world scenario ? Drag and drop controls ? User friendly ? Can input conversation into the scenario easily Participants dislike most: ? The need to count the times when designing scenarios ? The text box of the ¡°say¡± object better to have multiple line ? Cannot separate out the layer function and don¡¯t know how to arrange the position of the objects. Features that recommended to be added: ? Crop function for picture ? Time control; Preview on timing ? Motion for objects ? Crop function for picture
