ABSTRACT

For many classroom teachers, using a Learning Management System is a new experience that requires new skills. To help insure effective, efficient faculty training, it's recommended that technology trainers, faculty developers, and instructional technologists use a recognized instructional design method to develop training activities. Applying instructional design will make it simpler to define the needed skills, focus training on learners, and develop effective training.
