For this assignment you will be stepping into the role of “expert”. You are one, of many, training
specialists in your company and have been asked to submit a proposal for a training module for
managers on how to meet the learning needs of their departmental employees.
The title of your proposed training will be “The Importance of Understanding Your Employees’/Learners’
Needs” and it will include two parts: the written portion and the “pitch”, which will be submitted as a
screencast presentation that includes audio and visuals.
Part One: The Written Assignment
For the written portion of your final assignment, you will research and critically explain five topics (areas
of content) in learning that you think would be important to teach others. These components will be
aligned with the course content and the following Learning Theories:
Behaviorism – repetition, reinforcement (feedback), association, and classical and operant
conditioning
Cognitivism – assimilation, accommodation, the information processing model, and intellectual
stimulation
Constructivism – scaffolding, metacognition, problem-solving and inquiry-based learning
Humanism – holism, personal agency, individualization, and motivation.
The five learning perspectives/principles you decide to focus on is up to you. In week four you submitted
seven ideas to your instructor. Be sure to read this feedback to accurately choose the five you will use in
the final.
The second requirement of the written assignment includes explaining five strategies that you would
use if you were to teach/train the assigned managers. For example, you may want to use scaffolding or
the use of rewards. Fully explain why you will use each of the strategies you choose and how they
support the assigned employee group. In week four you submitted seven ideas. Be sure to look at your
instructor feedback and choose the strategies that you feel would be the most important.
Required content elements of the written assignment:
Must begin with an introduction paragraph that includes an overall summary of the purpose of the
assignment.
Five areas of learning psychology content must be explained fully and clearly demonstrate your
understanding of the included content and its importance in understanding learners’ needs. As you
explain your learning perspectives/principles, critically and elaborately justify why you have chosen
them based on your learner group.
Five strategies, for which you would use to successfully train the learner group, must be fully
developed, including the rationales for how these strategies might be used, based on critical thought.
Discussion of the specific needs these managers may have to fully benefit from your training module
should also be included.
A conclusion paragraph or section that fully summarizes the information within the paper and also
includes the time frame that you predict it will take to complete the training (i.e. two weeks, one year,
etc.) Substantiate this time frame with creative and critical thoughts about how your learners will best
retain the information you want to teach them.
Apply basic research methods and gather resources that will support your content.
Required technical elements of your written assignment:
Must be five to six double-spaced pages in length, excluding title page and references, and formatted
according to APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center.
Must include a title page with the following:
Title of presentation
Student’s name
Course name and number
Instructor’s name
Date submitted
URL link to your screencast
Must use at least four scholarly sources from the Ashford University Library.
Must document all sources in APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center.
Must include a separate reference page that is formatted according to APA style as outlined in the
Ashford Writing Center.
Must be submitted to the Grammarly tool within the course prior to submission.
A Suggested Outline.
Through the use of headings and subheadings, you should be able to thoroughly explain what you would
like to teach and how you will approach your training. Please see the “PSY331 Suggested Outline
format” document for an example.
Part Two: The Final Presentation
After completing your paper, it will be time to “sell your idea” to the company. You will create a
presentation with the goal of having your training module chosen for use by the company to train its
management teams. For this presentation, you will produce a screencast presentation, much like what
you created in Week Three. You will only be allotted five minutes for your presentation, so you will need
to showcase your ideas effectively. Learning how to market yourself and sell your ideas will be
extremely advantageous to you in your current and/or future career, so you should think outside of the
box and be as creative as possible in the presentation portion of this final assignment. Additionally, this
final assignment will help you build technical skills that will potentially aid you in your current and/or
future career.
Consider the following questions as you create your presentation:
How will your training module “win out” over the other candidates for this project?
What makes your training module great?
In what ways are you able to meet all of your learners’ special needs?
Is your training engaging? Why?
How does your training consider the diversity of the learners?
How does your training consider items such as the time it takes to go through each module and/or
how it will impact employee work productivity?
In real life, this pitch could mean a big promotion or bonus. How will you get this promotion?
Presentation required elements:
Visuals, audio, and a web link for access.
Discussion of a minimum of five areas of learning content you have studied in this course, which you
included in your paper and applied to the development of activities you created for your training.
Discussion of the needs of your learners that were considered.
An outline of the strategies you have suggested in your paper and why you think these will be
successful when working with the assigned manager group.
A brief analysis of why it is important to apply learning theory to training/educating in organizational
settings.
The reason why you believe that your training would be the best option for the company to choose.
A reference slide (This slide does not require audio.)
Five minutes in length maximum.
Discuss your ideas and content as you would if you were standing in front of a group. Try to not simply
read your slides.
Create a professional in appearance presentation.
Exhibit confidence in your voice when discussing the proposed training.
Utilization of four scholarly sources. (These may be the same as in your paper.)
All sources used within the presentation must be cited properly.
FAQs:
Do I have to use a script?
Please note that although a script is not required, it can be useful to make sure your audio is clear and
confident.
What if I do not have a microphone?
If you do not have an internal or external microphone for your computer, you can also use your ear
buds, plugged into the microphone slot.
What if I like to use Prezi instead of PowerPoint?
You may use a number of tools to create the visual portion of your presentation (i.e. PowerPoint, Jing,
Google Drive, Prezi, etc.).
How many slides should I have?
There is no specific requirement, just please consider that approximately six to eight slides would
support your time limit.
What do I use to include the audio on my presentation?
To create your presentation with the required visual, audio, and website link, you may use any
number of options which might include Screencast-O-Matic, or Youtube, but you are not limited to
these options. You may choose to use any tool that you choose, as long as the presentation can be fully
viewed and listened to by way of a web link. Please include a title for your presentation in the
description box when you publish your screencast to the web.
I cannot figure out any of the online software tools. What do I do?
Second option for your presentation : If you are unable to access any screencast software, you may
also choose to create a PowerPoint self-running presentation; however please note that you must also
consider the timing of your audio to automatically play with each slide. The following links can assist you
if you choose this option.

What do you mean by pitch my idea?
The slides should provide selling points that support the training module included in your paper. You
should have put a lot of time and effort into your paper; the presentation is where you convince your
boss how great it is and why the company should go with your proposal. Be confident in your product
and what you have learned and let it shine through in your presentation.
