1. Assignment 2: Planning the Training
Due Week 6 and worth 190 points
Refer to both the
Overall Concept for Assignments 1-4
and your responses from Assignment 1 in order to complete
this assignment.
Write a five to six (5-6) page paper in which you:
Outline the most significant elements or steps of the task upon
which the training will focus (See Assignment 1). Using the
selected adult learning theory from Assignment 1, analyze the
how the theory would support the learners’ mastery of the task.
Justify your response.
Propose one or more instructional settings for the training being
planned based on the nature of the task(s) and the selected
theoretical model (e.g., instructor-led in a classroom or self-
directed online.) Provide a rationale for the setting(s) selected.
Propose instructional activities to deliver training on the task(s)
that are consistent with the selected theoretical model, the
intended audience’s characteristics, and the selected training
setting. Instructional activities would include the instruction
strategies and methods used to teach the tasks, instructional
resources (media, materials, technology) needed to teach the
task, and student activities needed to learn competent
performance of task.
Indicate all needed technology components that you plan to
integrate into the training. Determine how the selected adult
learning theory could influence your technology selection.

2. Recommend strategies that you would use in order to
accommodate the learners who may not be familiar with
technology.
Propose a timeline for development and implementation of the
training, providing a rationale for your views. Determine how
the selected theoretical model and the intended audience
characteristics could influence the time needed to develop and
teach the identified tasks.
Propose three (3) strategies for evaluating the effectiveness of
the training during and after development. Determine how the
selected theoretical model and the intended audience
characteristics could influence your evaluation strategies.

education environments use to respond to adult learning needs.
Evaluate the degree to which learning is influenced by
psychology, growth, and development as well as learning in and
out of formal settings.
Use technology and information resources to research issues,
current trends, theories, and learning strategies for adult
learning and development.
Write clearly and correctly about issues in adult learning and
development using proper writing mechanics.
