About
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, the transition from in-person to online training became necessary. Below, I outline the curriculum development process involved in transforming a system-wide patient safety course from a predominantly in-person format to an asynchronous online course.
Development Process
Following an initial content analysis, we designed a comprehensive survey to gain a deeper understanding of the specific needs of our target audience. The survey data informed the identification of learning goals, objectives, and critical terms, which were subsequently organized within a collaborative Miro board. Employing the Transformational Learning Theory as our framework, I categorized each item according to its corresponding step within the theory, fostering a cohesive and structured curriculum.
Building upon this foundation, I collaborated with subject matter experts to develop the course content using a Microsoft Word template based on the backwards design approach. This process facilitated efficient editing and ensured content alignment before proceeding to the design and development phase. The modules were created using Articulate Storyline, incorporating engaging elements such as videos, simulations, and a synchronous WebEx session for interactive discussions.
By following this meticulous process, we were able to craft a dynamic and immersive learning experience that met the needs of our audience while embracing the advantages of online learning.
