WEB-BASED TUTORIAL SUMMARY 2

During this course, I have completed a needs analysis, researched

multimedia, and created a storyboard to create a web-based tutorial for my workplace.

This web-based tutorial is being created based upon the results of the needs analysis.

The needs analysis determined that a web-based tutorial is the optimal choice for

ensuring awareness of the policies and policies and consistent and fair selection

practices. The web address for the tutorial is

http://www.slideshare.net/mddandridge/dandridge-web-based-tutorial

The purpose of the web-based tutorial is to address inconsistencies, confusion,

and negative feedback regarding the recruitment and selection process. This tutorial is

designed to educate hiring managers to ensure that the recruitment and selection

process is consistent and fair. Upon completion, the student will be able to demonstrate

awareness of the process and expectations of the recruitment and selection process.

Although the target audience for this course is hiring managers, the tutorial may be

used for other individuals involved in the recruitment and selection process (i.e.,

supervisors, members of the interview panel). This training will consider new hiring

managers and experienced hiring managers who may be interested in a refresher. The

performance-based objectives are (1) given a scenario the student will be able to apply

all applicable policies, procedures, and guidelines with 80% accuracy, (2) given a role-

play event the student will be able to conduct a selection process that is free from

discrimination, and (3) given an inquiry the student will be able to state the 2 main ideas

in the selection process with exactness.

The variety of technology skills and learning types has been considered in the

tutorial. Multimedia was incorporated to enhance student comprehension and reduce


barriers. The multimedia used includes hypermedia, audio/video, and graphics.

Considering the multitude of technology skills, the tutorial is user friendly with the ease

of navigation and accessibility to resources. The ease of use and compatibility make the

learning experience more comfortable and a safer more efficient learning environment.

It was imperative to create a tutorial that is relatable and necessary for the

student. With that in mind, the learning experience is geared toward student

achievement and knowledge obtainment. The pretraining and segmentation concepts

were used to toward student achievement and knowledge obtainment. Pretraining

provides an introduction to a lesson using basic information to manage the processing

of complex material. This was exhibited by defining what recruitment and selection are

before discussing the more complex information (legal mandates, discrimination, and

company guidelines). Segmentation was also used to breaking up large amounts of

information into smaller more manageable parts to prevent a cognitive system overload

for the student.

A summative assessment was incorporated in the tutorial to assess learning.

Students are then provided with explanatory feedback to create a “teachable moment”

to give the student an explanation of what they got wrong and why. Explanatory

feedback should be provided in an e-learning environment whenever possible. The

student benefits because he or she may receive step-by-step feedback on solving a

problem, focuses on the feedback, and makes improvement the focus.

The tutorial will benefit the students by making him or her aware and compliant

with applicable federal and corporate policies and procedures. This will result in a


decentralized process, decreased frustration, an increase in hiring flexibility, and a

shorter, yet efficient process.
