Tools: PowerPoint, Google Drive, Screenshots (Mac); Audacity, H5P
Time: Slideshow- About 3 hours; Audio/Scripting; About 1.5 hours; Interactive Book: 2.5 hours
Client: This is a general tutorial; A good client for this product would be any organization that could benefit from the use of collaborative tools like Google Drive. Additionally, this tutorial is great for an average person who wants to learn how to share large files.
Collaborators: None
Challenge:
A company or individual user needs to share large numbers of files or files with large sizes easily with others. They are unable to attach the files via email because of size or difficulty (in terms of time constraints). They need a solution to this problem that will ensure they can continually access their content while offering room for growth, ease of use, and collaboration.
Solutions:
I suggest the sharing of a Google Drive folder, but they are unfamiliar with the setup process and features of Google Drive and its sharing capabilities. This tutorial will provide them with the needed information to set up folders in Google Drive, add their files, and share them with others using narrated audio, and screen captured images in a simple step by step process.
After some feedback on my asset, it was suggested that this content may be more usable to learners in a job aid or workbook format than in a PowerPoint. I decided to also make an interactive book using H5P as a creative approach to solving this potential issue. The book is embedded below.
Result:
Success for this tutorial would look like learners being able to easily access the tutorial and both view and listen to it. Learners would also have to be able to execute each individual step in the process with 100% accuracy. Ultimately, a successful share of a folder and its shared files in the manner in which the content owner desires, would be the final measure of success.
