This Tech Demo will outline how staff at Education Development Center (EDC) are using a simple authoring tool to repackage our live webinar events, conference calls, and email communications into streamlined online training bundles for our audience. These supplemental online training packages have helped support a blended learning approach in our self-paced online trainings which historically have been broken up into disparate pieces. These user-friendly packages enable our audience to find all the materials for their training in one easy-to-access link. It is all organized and customized for each audience so they can quickly locate the webinar recordings (if they miss a live event), handouts, online toolkits, conference call-in information, videos, podcasts, website references, and more. EDC staff curate the information and materials in each supplemental training package for each distinct audience so they have a more tailored training experience with minimal effort on our part. It doesn’t cost much; it doesn’t take a lot of time or programming expertise to build; it is mobile responsive; and, we can quickly and easily update the online content in real-time. This session will explain how these packages have helped us deliver our curriculum much more easily and efficiently to our virtual audiences and streamline communication to these audience members. Above all, this approach is a perfect example of how EDC develops innovative delivery mechanisms for capacity building in response to the needs of our audience.
