Web-Based AOD Prevention Training Curriculum Phase ll

描述（由申请人提供）： 我们拟议的第二阶段研究和开发（R&D）的总体目的是开发一个基于研究和商业上可行的电子学习课程和支持系统，以提高学校和社区提供的酒精和其他药物（AOD）预防服务的质量和有效性。为了实现这一目标，我们将实施以下步骤：a）我们将进行调查，以开发和完善一个高质量的，以证据为基础的，互动的电子学习课程目录，为AOD预防领域。该目录将包括大约50门课程（例如，每个主题领域8门课程，横跨6个领域），B）我们将开发和测试三个替代课程方案，使用不同的混合叙事故事板，交互式图形和音频视频交付格式。我们将根据学习者的反应，开发成本，支付意愿和技术可行性来指定最佳格式组合，c）根据最佳格式，我们将开发六个原型电子学习课程，每个课程目录中确定的内容域中有一个。每门课程将被设计为大约一个小时的自定进度的教学，d）使用随机设计，我们将测试这些原型，有和没有支持增强（例如，信息链接、同侪学习者和教员交流能力以及技术援助后续行动）。要测试的主要结果将是增强功能在多大程度上增加了工作场所培训信息和技能的应用，e）在此测试之后，我们将开发一系列增强功能或增强选项，这些增强功能或增强选项代表了一种基于研究的方法来加强工作场所培训信息和技能的程度。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The overall purpose of our proposed Phase II research and development (R&D) is to develop a research-based and commercially viable e-learning curriculum and support system that will improve the quality and effectiveness of alcohol and other drug (AOD) prevention services provided in school and community settings. To achieve this purpose, we will implement the following steps: a) we will conduct surveys to develop and refine a catalog of high-quality, evidence-based, interactive e-learning courses for the AOD prevention field. This catalog will include approximately 50 courses (e.g., 8 courses per topic domain across 6 domains), b) We will develop and test three alternative course scenarios using different mixes of narrative storyboard, interactive graphic, and audio-video delivery format. We will specify optimal format mixes according to learner reaction, development cost, willingness to pay, and technological feasibility, c) Following the optimal format, we will develop six prototype e-learning courses, one within each of the content domains identified in the curriculum catalog. Each course will be designed for approximately one hour of self-paced instruction, d) Using a randomized design, we will test these prototypes with and without support enhancement (e.g., information links, peer-learner and instructor communications capability, and technical assistance follow-up). The primary outcomes to be tested will be the degree to which enhancements increase the application of training information and skills in the workplace, e) Following this test, we will develop a package of enhancements, or enhancement options, that represent a research-based approach to strengthening the degree to which training information and skills in the workplace.
