This month we would like to share some material about how to think and how to structure a program in Promote, both the design of the program and the practical aspect to build it. Feel free to forward this text to any new admin that's about to start building their first program to help them get started.
The basic design of a program
Start with the structure you want for your program, start by visualizing it on a whiteboard or paper to get a good overview. Divide your program into three segments, before/prepare, during/train and after/apply. Watch this video to get a basic understanding how to structure a program.
How to build your program
Before you start to build you need to understand of which parts a program is structured in Promote - read this article to learn about the three levels of a program. Then create your program. Now, how should you transform the before, during and after into assignments and sessions in your program that also makes sense to the learners?
The before
In the before segment you'll give the learners preparation assignments to build a common knowledge and commitment before the workshop.
Step 1: Create a Module - Block
Step 2: Create an Assignment
Step 3: Create a Task
If you have several assignments in the before segment of your design repeat step 2-3.
The during
The during is the webinar or classroom workshop and consists of an Event and Session.
Step 1: Create a Module - Event
Step 2: Edit the Session
You can add a task to the session if your learners will complete tasks in the program during the workshop.
The after
In the after segment you’ll give the learners relevant and challenging application assignments that they can access and perform on the job, after the training. Repeat step 1-3 as in “The before” to create this segment of the program.
