Assignment Summary: Converting Trainings for a Distance Learning Environment

For our week 7 assignment, we were tasked with creating a best practices guide for converting a training in a format that is conducive to distance learning environments. We were given free reign to create our guide in any format, and in the spirit of developing portfolio items, I chose to be a tad creative this week. My guide was created using the site Piktochart. Piktochart is an amazing site where you can design colorful layouts for posters, flyers, infographics and MORE! I selected the infographic design to layout the principle steps I considered to be vital to convert trainings to function in an online learning. Topics discussed are below:

1. The Basics of Every Course
2. Activities and Materials 
3. Technologies and Resources
4. Student Support Materials 
5. Training Shifts 
6. The Change in the Role of a Trainer
7. Encouraging Learner Communication

Please take a look at the infographic and let me know what you think! What else should be considered when converting face-to-face trainings for distance learning?
