Lesson Builder
is An environment for quickly and easily creating lessons that can be used with
the Training By Steps application.
Product Description
Lesson
Builder helps users to create Training By Steps lessons by breaking
down the process into smaller steps. Users begin by entering basic details
about the lesson such as a name, level, prerequisites and a basic
description of the lesson. In the next step of the wizard the user builds
up the lesson by adding the various steps. A picture or video clip can be
added to the step to help explain some aspect of it. At any time in the
creation process, steps can be reordered, or otherwise edited or
deleted.
When the lesson creation is complete it can be saved in a relevant
lesson category and exported as a lesson file for use with Training
By Steps.
Practical
Use
Lesson Builder has been successfully used and tested in training
scenarios in
Uganda, Africa where I worked as a computer teacher for a year and a half. (For
details of that experience click here) I found that I could create a full
lesson on such topics as creating and editing Microsoft Word® tables, creating
Microsoft Access® queries, etc in less than an hour. When the class was about
to begin I would go round all the training computers and import the lesson into
their Training By Steps installation.
Now that I am returned home from Uganda, I can still send lessons by email to
my replacement teacher if needed.
