This week I created my first hyperdoc. It’s a guide to creating a job aid. I work with a team of software trainers. Most are former clinicians who do not have much experience with corporate training. This document will help new trainers learn how to capture screen shots and use a job aid template.
I found Google docs to have limited options for designing a template and used Microsoft Word instead. This requires the user to download the document from Google to their desktop, open it and create the job aid.
This experience has made me think of how to make instructional material more engaging instead of just a step-by-step guide. I enjoyed the hands-on aspect of the assignment. Creating this hyperdoc put me on the learner side of things and I think I learn best by doing.
