   Thanks ESF...

I just imported my Word checklist into TaskOutliner and immediately printed out a Performance Checklist.

Then, using StyleDoc, I reformatted my Pre/Post Inventories, Cover Sheet, Response Sheets, Workbook, Objectives and TofC .

Thanks ESF!!!

StyleDoc...

Tools for the 21st Century...

StyleDoc is a series of Microsoft Word and PowerPoint templates that you can use to lay out quickly your instructional Workbooks, Instructor's Guide, and Transparencies and/or PowerPoint Presentations. This process completes the third step in developing IDLS-based instructional or training materials.

ESF discovered another need early in its instructional development career:

to provide a method for developers to create courses written by several developers that were consistent and professional looking.

This used to be the responsibility of the developers team of secretaries who took the developers' hand-written yellow legal pads and turned them into cohesive-looking training programs. With the introduction of computers into the workplace, it was often easier for the developer to type up the course his/herself. What initially looked like a cost-saving opportunity, often turned into a nightmare of inconsistent-looking training materials.

ESF recognized immediately the need for a style sheet that all developers could use to create standardized training materials. To that end, ESF now has available for its clients StyleDoc, which contains a series of "style sheets" or templates, including the following:

  • Workbook
  • Inventory Items (Test Questions) including:
  • Multiple Choice and Matching Items
  • Directions for before and after Inventory Items and
  • Page Reference Model
  • Cover Sheets
  • Table of Contents
  • Objectives and
  • Instructor's Guide (PowerPoint Slides as well as Notes).

Features 

Use the following StyleDoc Templates to provide your instructional or training materials a professional appearance. Use StyleDoc to:
  • Workbook
  • Develop instructional or training participant Workbooks that use a specific style designed by ESF to help the learner comprehend the materials easily  
  • Inventory Items (Test Questions) including:
  • Multiple Choice and Matching Items
  • Directions for before and after Inventory Items and
  • Page Reference Model
  • Cover Sheets
  • Table of Contents
  • Objectives and
  • Instructor's Guide (PowerPoint Slides as well as Notes). Develop an Instructor's Guide that will enable the instructor to:
  • Cover comprehensively all the information the learner “needs-to-know
  • Be highly interactive with learners
  • Develop an Instructor Presentation either in Word to be used as:
  • Transparencies
  • PowerPoint to be used as an interactive computer-based presentation
  • Response Sheets
  • Develop a series of Response Sheets to be used either during the validation cycle of the instructional materials or so the materials can be reused by a series of learners
