Question

Taking the topic you discussed in the other thread to start, explain how you would morph the traditional training you described, taking into account a technology-based training. Describe what technology method you would consider using as an alternative way to deliver the training you took and discussed in the other thread (perhaps this would be some hybrid of traditional and technology).

Do you feel that your new technology-styled training would have worked better or worse than the traditional training you took? Why? Do you think it would have been more or less cost effective to do the training in that way? Name at least one principle you would follow to create a positive technical learning experience in this technical training, and reply to your classmates%u2019 ideas with other positive learning experiences that could occur in their trainings. Your professor will bring in more questions throughout the week. Return often!

Explanation / Answer

Technology-based training uses computer-based tools to enhance the training process, typically by involving trainees actively rather than passively. For survey research, technology-based training is usually used to build and sharpen interviewer skills, particularly skills required for successfully interacting with survey respondents. Traditionally, interaction-skills training relied on peer-to-peer role playing or passive learning through videos. Technology-based training, in contrast, facilitates self-directed learning with rich media sources and abundant learner-assessment and remediation options. The benefits of technology-based training for survey research include (a) reduced learning time; (b) reduced or eliminated travel time and expense; (c) improved consistency by capturing and replicating best practices and expert knowledge; (d) increased availability of training (with just-in-time access on personal computers in any location); (e) enhanced productivity by decreasing on-the-job error rates and reducing reliance on on-the-job learning; and (f) increased ability to adapt to interviewers' knowledge, experience, learning style, and motivation.
