Types of Lesson Players(a.k.a. “interface” or “skin”)
1. KDS I – Old style MCS lessons (open browser) (content model 1)
2. KDS II – New style lessons (closed browser) (content model 2)a. Limited Service - SME uses simple SME Guidelines; core templatesb. Full Service - Trained ID must be involved; all templatesBoth can use all our Flash exercise templates (6-8 new in 2008)Two new lesson players coming in 2008 (1 open; 1 closed)
3. Hosted or hybrid (content model 3)(a.k.a. “linked” or “third party”)

Non-Web friendly or built via authoring tools Conversion issues w/non-Web types (Director, Authorware, ToolBook) Should avoid authoring tool generated (Lectora, Trainersoft)

How We Prioritize
1. Scoped internal project work2. Scoped custom client work3. Change requests for LMS lessons4. Change requests for hosted lessons (SBN CE, ENA ENO, etc.)5. Courseware features/functionality enhancements6. Out-of-scope project work (including custom screens &
media)7. Special requests for product owners (demos, one-offs, etc.)8. Special requests for clients (unless paid for)9. Special requests for MNS (L. Zacks), MNC/MNI (L. Pilla) or
others

Elsevier ‘Multimedia Task Force’
John Wheeler (book ancillaries), Jim Twickler (Evolve) and Brajesh Upadhyay (MCS and MNS)
Global Elsevier supplier consolidation Cost control for commodities Standardization
‘Preferred Vendor’ status Elsevier Chennai (India) office

Pros/cons of LMS vs. Hosted Lessons
LMS Integrated
- Smoother functionality; fewer bugs- MCS owns the back-end- Efficient (ASP/database; load-once
elements & centralized media)- Benefits from LMS build releases (all
parties get same features/functions)- Easier to make change requests; no
external cost for most
- Not portable (better copy prevention)- Must rely on Kevin for most
enhancements (takes longer)(but no external cost)
Hosted
- More customizable (design & functionality)
- Portable(but no copy protection)
- Integrates into any LMS w/SCORM(but not always smoothly)
- Quicker development of features/functions
- Total filesize generally larger; less efficient
- SCORM issues- Vendor owns the back-end; proprietary
authoring system is used- Changes/updates take longer & cost
money- Version control issues- Possible backward compatibility issues
later

Importance of Instructional Design (ID)
Develops blueprint for web development, media production & assembly (storyboard)
50% content manipulation; 50% technical/formatting Content manipulation
Ensures all the learning objectives are addressed in the content, exercises, and post-test
Infuses innovative, engaging, and interactive learning (fully aware of development parameters and customization capabilities)
Organizes the content topics and exercises in a logical manner for online learning (may change content; rewrite)
Ensures the content and corresponding media clearly support the content topics
Validates the content is clearly and concisely written for the online medium
Designs, creates, or reviews exercises and the post-test to successfully check the learner’s knowledge of actual presented content

Importance of Instructional Design (ID)
(contd.)
Technical/formatting Full knowledge of screen/media templates (storyboard tool)
and development capabilities Cannot design in a vacuum; dictated by delivery format Consequences of non-compliant SBs to scope
Internal resources (time) External vendor/contractors (time & cost)

![Page 38: MCS E-learning Development Overview Presented by Brajesh Upadhyay Jordan Berkow Terri Sanborn](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061305/55140abb550346dd488b4d7a/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Types of Custom Lessons
Customers unique lesson material Joint Commission for repurposing
Custom Client Lessons are assigned to staff when there is an open slot in the development schedule
*custom development work is 2nd priority to segment owned work
![Page 39: MCS E-learning Development Overview Presented by Brajesh Upadhyay Jordan Berkow Terri Sanborn](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061305/55140abb550346dd488b4d7a/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Enhancements for 2008: Web Development
Pre/post-test enhancement for learners Support for multi-select choices (checkboxes) Support for an optional final only feedback to questions Addition of media icon next to any question (embedded or opens new
window) Removal of unnecessary 'go to question n' anchor links Graphical banner
Mouse-over glossary pop-up boxes Via JavaScript layers, as in old lesson types) Not manually created, rather pulled dynamically from the same Glossary list
![Page 40: MCS E-learning Development Overview Presented by Brajesh Upadhyay Jordan Berkow Terri Sanborn](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061305/55140abb550346dd488b4d7a/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Enhancements for 2008: Multimedia
Two new lesson players (interfaces/skins), so we have 4 total to offer (1) open size any screen resolution higher than 800x600
One would have a drop-down menu design to reduce button clutter (1) fixed for 800x600 screen resolution Both would employ a curvy and/or retro look (more polished) Both would use same color scheme to match current players/exercises
New set of Flash exercise templates/engines Between 6-8 new types A branching case study Image map
Global/common enhancements to existing Flash exercise templates/engines
Addition of a pop-up layer for longer feedback in applicable exercises (as in old ENA lessons)
Up to 2-screen exercises, for those applicable (as opposed to creating separate 2-part exercises)
