CURRICULUM MAPPING AND CONTENT SCRIPT WRITING WORKSHOP

The main task of our sector in the ministry is to develop the e-material (online-material) for self learning that facilitate students all over our country. These materials will be uploaded to our LMS. And one of the big challenge on creating this e-material is our resources. The content expert or Subject Matter Expert (SME) and also Instructional Designer (ID)..
We organized a workshop for curriculum mapping and content writing. The workshop was held from 22-26 May 2006 at the Holiday Villa Hotel, Subang Jaya, Selangor. Those good teachers... super teachers (senior and expert teachers) and also University lecturers .. they sat together to analyze the content and prepare for the scipts. Those scripts as soon as completed and of course evaluated, will be given to another group that will prepare the storyboards for multimedia development. But as I mentioned before, our biggest problem is those content experts... they are only expert in content... but some of them have no basic knowledge in multimedia. So, during the first day, we gave a short brief for them as guidelines. This is so important for them to know exactly the objectives of the script writing purposes. And also, this is the first cycle of the content script writing... there shall be another cycle of improvement for the existing content scripts.
Even though I've been through all the processes before.. Anyway... all the knowledge that I learned in Okinawa... I can impliment it now.. additional to what we are doing currently..
Soon during the storyboards development process, we must guide the storyboarders to chunk all the multimedia elements into small assets.. so that easier for the development team to tag all the elements with the appropriate metadata... in order for the LMS to able to call all the objects.. soon after uploading... Well, knowing SCORM, easier way to create the learning object and make it reusable..

emm.... still long way... anyway... all the best to me..
