The module is meant to take the 2-hour instructor-led content and consolidate it into one 5 minute video outlining all of the key information related to that specific module topic. The 15 modules that make up the management learning program consist of topics like loss prevention, scheduling, business analytics, and people development. For the sake of this assignment, I will focus on the people development module when creating my digital learning resource.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;font-size: 14pt\"><strong>Learning Goals:<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;font-size: 12pt\">The goal of the module is to provide an introduction to the people development model and to prepare the learner for the subsequent modules that will dive deeper into coaching techniques and accessing resources.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;font-size: 12pt\">Upon completion of the module the learner will be able to:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;font-size: 12pt\">Understand the basic training resources and coaching methods for each stage of the people development model.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;font-size: 12pt\">Determine how their role as the \u201ccoach\u201d fits into the learning journey for their staff.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;font-size: 12pt\">Understand how people development fits within the employee experience.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;font-size: 12pt\">List all stages of the retail employee learning journey at FGL Sports.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;font-size: 14pt\"><strong>Intended Audience:<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;font-size: 12pt\">The intended audience in the past for all content related to management training was specific to and only made accessible to,\u00a0new store managers or high potential assistant managers who would be invited to the instructor-led summit once a year. With the digital delivery option, the content will be made accessible to:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;font-size: 12pt\">All new managers as part of their onboarding process<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;font-size: 12pt\">Existing or tenured managers looking to refresh themselves on key role responsibilities<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;font-size: 12pt\">High potential Assistant or Department Managers looking to expand their knowledge base and take on their own development<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;font-size: 12pt\">Any retail associate who is interested in learning more about the organization and the role of the Store Manager.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;font-size: 12pt\">My hope is that this can ultimately improve our talent pipeline and succession planning strategy by introducing more people who are motivated to develop within our company.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;font-size: 14pt\"><strong>Rationale:<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;font-size: 12pt\">I am confident that the delivery of a clear, concise, and informative video can meet the learning needs to highlight the training resources and coaching methods available for developing our people.\u00a0 Typically the in-person sessions are filled with various facilitators with different presentation styles and communication skills. By streamlining all of the modules in a format that is consistent, we can control the process and message that is getting out to our field (store-level) teams.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;font-size: 14pt\"><strong>Tools:<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;font-size: 12pt\">The tool that I have chosen to use is the animated program \u201cPowtoon\u201d. The reason being is:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;font-size: 12pt\">Cartoons can ensure consistency with the look and feel of the design and specifically the facilitator. As personnel <\/span>come<span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;font-size: 12pt\"> and go, the avatar will remain the same, promoting uniformity and sustainability.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;font-size: 12pt\">The program is somewhat easy to learn and I am familiar with it from a previous course assignment.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;font-size: 12pt\">The tool has the ability to add voiceover, text, and video media for optimized design delivery.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;font-size: 14pt\"><strong>Assessment Plan:<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;font-size: 12pt\">The Assessment plan will be two-fold for this digital learning resource as there are potentially different learners who might access the video.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;font-size: 12pt\">Primary Audience \u2013 Store Manager being onboarded:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;font-size: 12pt\">No assessment or checkpoints during video<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;font-size: 12pt\">After module completion, there is a \u201cShow Me Step\u201d which consists of a number of follow up reflection questions to be led by the mentor (the district manager or training manager).<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;font-size: 12pt\">Upon completing all 15 modules there will be a formal assessment on the LMS to ensure tracking and completion. For the sake of this assignment, this will not be included as the remaining modules are yet to be completed.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;font-size: 12pt\">Secondary Audience \u2013 all other managers or associates:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;font-size: 12pt\">Access to the \u201cShow Me Step\u201d will be available and conducted with their store manager if they would like further support or development<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;font-size: 12pt\">No formal assessment<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;font-size: 14pt\"><strong>Learning Theories &amp; Instructional Design Principles Used:<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;font-size: 12pt\">Elements from Behaviourist and Cognitivism will be used most when building this learning video. It will not be interactive and will act as a stand-alone video with a focus on delivering the <strong><em>what <\/em><\/strong>and <strong><em>how<\/em><\/strong> when it comes to our People Development process.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;font-size: 12pt\">Design Framework elements outlined in Bates SECTIONS model (2015) helped inform the design and delivery methods for the animated module.<\/span>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;font-size: 12pt\">Interaction is one of the most important principles when developing the tool as the concern related to the learning outcome is present when trying to condense content length, replace facilitator presence, and change the method of delivery.<\/span>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;font-size: 12pt\">Interaction with learning materials (video)<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;font-size: 12pt\">Interaction with the facilitator (post video show me step to demonstrate critical thinking)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;font-size: 12pt\">Cognitive Learning Theory:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;font-size: 12pt\">Although elements related to the assessments and program learning objectives for the entirety of the management learning program does draw on components from both behaviourist and constructivist learning theories, the digital resource design however was heavily influenced by the cognitivism school of thinking.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;font-size: 12pt\">Based on the research synthesized by Ally (2008), the following elements were included based on the various learning theories:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;font-size: 12pt\">Cognitive learning was considered when choosing animated video design delivery, allowing the learner to observe the learning materials and promote memory retention.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;font-size: 12pt\">Initial storyboarding supports a design of content being delivered in an organized fashion with clear sequencing moving at a manageable pace. It is believed that by giving the learner a variety of text and graphic content, they will better be able to internalize and remember the content.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;font-size: 12pt\">The graphics will be simple and not take away from the content being delivered while the text and important information will be highlighted and bucketed to remain categorized and clear for each section.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;font-size: 14pt\"><strong>Instructions for Use:<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;font-size: 12pt\">The learner is meant to access this content as either a personal development opportunity or in the case where a new manager has been hired and they require knowledge on each of the 15 modules upon completing their onboarding.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;font-size: 12pt\">An overview PDF of the management program will be provided as well as the \u201cShow Me Step\u201d with instructions on how to leverage this coaching tool to support the digital training resource.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;font-size: 14pt\"><strong>Plan for Use:<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;font-size: 12pt\">Due to corporate security constraints, this resource will not be made open on the world wide web. When it comes to proprietary corporate learning programs, the organization takes this seriously \u00a0so in terms of \u201copen\u201d it will be at an organizational level by living in our Operations Portal&gt; Training Tile &gt; Management Training Program.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;font-size: 12pt\">Ally, M.
