This training is intended to help ease the transition for users as server-based personal shares are phased out over the next year and OneDrive usage become mandatory. Project ScopeThis training will be designed to be delivered on an individual, on-demand basis for both existing and future employees and will focus on narrated video walk-throughs showing the user how to accomplish basic tasks in the web-based version of OneDrive. The training will be available online to internal network users. The needs of this training are defined by both the university mandate to implement the product for all users and Information Technology Services understanding of how employees utilize the technology provided to them.Migration to the cloud for user files will provide them with better access to resources outside of the network in addition to better security and business continuity options. Use case and end-user need was analyzed by the Indiana Tech Information Technology staff in group consultation to determine what features to focus on that would provide the quickest benefit to the end-users while providing the least amount of inconvenience. Front End AnalysisTarget Learner AnalysisThe audience for this training are the staff and faculty at Indiana Institute of Technology, know more commonly as Indiana Tech, a four-year career-focused university in Fort Wayne, Indiana. There are approximately 400 (number varies throughout the year due to contracts and turnover) staff and full-time/part-time faculty who teach and support almost 10,000 students both on campus and online. This training will be focused on the 200+ staff employees and will available as an option for faculty as needed. All of the staff are considered to be computer literate with basic computer skillset. Each user in this training as a university-provided email address which they use frequently; OneDrive shares a web interface with the Office365 mail client. Staff and faculty currently utilize and are familiar with using both the local workstations and server-based personal file shares, called their Home drive or “H:” drive, to store and backup important documents and other work-related products. Because there are many technical drawbacks to both of these methods and it is the directive of Information Technology Services that users begin replacing these options with Microsoft OneDrive. Intended InstructionThis learning module will consist of screencast recordings of various tasks being completed in OneDrive with narration and call-outs to direct the learner. This will be available on-demand and can be reviewed multiple times for reference. The components of the training can be viewed in linear or non-linear fashion depending on the user’s skill level. Prerequisites of the training include being able to log on to Indiana Tech’s Office365 web portal, basic familiarity with Windows/Mac file and folder structure, and basic keyboard/mouse skills. Assessment PlanUsers are not required to complete a formal assessment to successfully complete this training, however to increase their engagement two informal methods will be used. Sections of the video will be interspersed with multiple choice questions to determine the learner has understood the material. They will also be instructed to perform several basic tasks as part of this training to prove to themselves and their supervisor that they understand the basic functions of OneDrive. A more formal assessment can be done by making the sample tasks outlined in the objectives mandatory with an instructor sign-off to confirm completion. Proposed Delivery Method/Learning EnvironmentBecause of the large volume of initial users, this course material will be made available internally through a hyperlink. After the initial run-through is completed this course will be made available to learners through the Indiana Tech Blackboard LMS. Learning Objectives Objectives are written in the style prescribed in Mager (1997)Given several scenarios, Learners will correctly identify different file storage types.Given several definitions, Learners will correctly identify the features of Microsoft OneDrive.Using their account, learner will log into Office365 and access OneDriveUsing their account, learners will move files to OneDrive from their computerUsing their account, leaners will delete and recover files in OneDrive.Given several examples, learners will show understanding of sharing files in OneDrive.

Learners will be given several scenarios and asked to pick the one that best fits. Module 1 Description:This module is designed to meet Objective #1 (“identify file storage types”) and gauge the learner with Assessment #1. The video in this module is instructive will cover the basics of how files are stored and how/why online cloud storage is different from traditional methods. Transcript of the video will available as a text file. The video will be a narrated, auto-advancing slideshow.Module 1 Video Script:[Welcome Title slide – See design above]Welcome to Module One! In order to understand how OneDrive works at Indiana Tech let’s start by going over how we store files.[Slide: My Documents]By default, your computer stores files locally on the hard drive under a folder called My Documents. While that’s usefully for quick retrieval and easy access it has a fatal flaw. [Slide: image of computer on fire]That flaw is that if anything happens to your computer such as hardware failure, theft, or even accidental deletion there is no way to retrieve those contents and they’re gone for good.[Slide: pictures of USB drive and slot]Most people will work around that by copying those files to some kind of removable media such as a USB drive. In I.T. this was called using “Sneakernet”- moving files around using your feet instead of a cable. This two has faults. [Slide: USB port with circle & slash]USB Drives are no longer allowed at Indiana Tech for security reason- they’re an opportunity to both infect your computer with viruses and for people to take files off campus they might not be authorized to have. [Slide: pocket with question mark]The biggest fault? What happens when you misplace or lose your drive![Slide: Screen shot of ‘My Computer’ with H: and M: drives]You’ve probably used server shared resources on campus to get past these two methods. Whether it’s your H: drive or a shared departmental drive you know that at least your files are secured and backed-up on a nightly basis. Here too there are flaws. The first is that you can’t get to these files if you’re not attached to the Indiana Tech network, meaning working from home or elsewhere is difficult. [Slide: picture of Tornado]The second is that if anything happens to the network at Indiana Tech those files can be lost. Not forever as in the case of a computer, but inaccessible in case of disaster for an unknown amount of time.[Slide: picture of clouds]So what if there was a way that files could be stored securely, accessed easily, be backed up, and be resistant to disaster? One such place is “the Cloud”[Slide: picture of old map saying ‘here be dragons]So what is “The Cloud”. It’s not a place actually, it simply refers to hosted service available over the Internet that allows multiple locations and servers to work as one. [Slide: picture of server farm]This means the cloud services you use are less prone to disruption because there are so many of them. It also means they’re available wherever you can get an Internet connection. Indiana Tech leverages the Cloud to provide many services including email, instant messaging, voice and video conference, Blackboard and file storage. [Slide: OneDrive screenshot and logo]That’s where OneDrive comes in. As part of the Microsoft Office 365 product suite OneDrive provides users at Indiana Tech with 1 terabyte of storage. Compare that to your local H: drive at 1 Gigabyte. Unlike you H: drive, OneDrive allows you to share files without the hassle of emailing them. It integrates to Indiana Tech’s SharePoint so files can be worked on by department and as a cloud service you can access your files anywhere you can get your email, even your smartphone or tablet.In this course we’ll examine some of the basic features of OneDrive to introduce you so you can start using this powerful service today. After a short quiz, move on to Module Two to learn about the features of OneDrive and how they can help you.Thanks for watching!Module 2 ContentModule 2: “What can OneDrive do?”Slide designObjective #2Video Outline:Storing files securelyStore large volumes of filesKeep a record of files (backup)Share files is easy!Accessible anywhereKinds of files you can store?What you should not store?What about my personal files?Assessment #2Contents of the quiz may be found under the Assessments section of this document. Learners will be given a ‘choose all that apply’ quiz. Module 2 Description:This module is designed to meet Objective 2 (“Identify the features of OneDrive”) and gauge the learner with Assessment #2. The video in this module is instructive will cover the primary features of Microsoft OneDrive that a relevant to the user in addition to what files Indiana Tech employees should be storing there. Transcript of the video will available as a text file. The video will be a narrated, auto-advancing slideshow.Module 2 Video Script:Note: Each slide is text in this module; use image above for reference.[Slide: Welcome / Title] As a cloud service from Microsoft, OneDrive provides many services to Indiana Tech that would be cost prohibitive to provide internally. So what can OneDrive do and how does it help you?[Slide: bullet list which updates with each point]It keeps you safe. Microsoft engineers monitor their servers in real team working to keep things secure. You’re also protected from network disruptionsIt allows you to store tons of files. Whereas local servers are limited by the numbers of drives the university can afford, Microsoft uses shared storage to provide 1 terabyte of data to each user so you no longer have to worry about running out of room on your drives.It backs things up. Through versioning and file recovery, if you accidentally delete a file you can get it back yourself without calling the Help Desk. It’s accessible both on campus and off campus. If you can get to the Internet, you can get to your files. This includes on your smartphone or tablet. If you’re a laptop user, the Help Desk can even help you keep a secure local copy on your hard drive even when you’ve got no connection.What can you store? Almost anything! Please keep it work-related though.[Slide: Bullet list of what not to store]What should you not store? One thing you should never try to store on your OneDrive is anything that contains social security numbers or any other private identification information. Why? Because by policy you shouldn’t store that information anywhere but our secure database.[Slide: Bullet list of cloud drive options for personal use]What about my personal files? While personal files are not allowed by policy on Indiana Tech computers we do encourage you to look into personal files hosting services such as DropBox, Google Drive, or OneDrive for Personal Use if you’d like to store personal data at home. You’ll find links to some major providers under Additional Resources on the main page.[Slide: image of Indy 500 starting line]If you’re ready to get started seeing how OneDrive works, take the short module quiz and move on to Module Three to get started. Good luck!Module 3 ContentModule 3 “How to logon to OneDrive”VideoVideo OutlineWhy a webpage?Where is it?How do I logon?The Office365 menu systemHow do I logoff?Try it yourself!Module 3 Description:This module is designed to meet Objective 3 (“Logon and access OneDrive”) and then the user will be instructed to follow along in another browser window or tab. The video in this module will demonstrate the process for users who do not frequently logon to Office365 through the web interface. There is not a formal assessment for this walkthrough but the user will be asked if they were able to successfully complete the task described.Module 3 Video Script:[Voiceover of screen recording demonstrating actions on web interface in browser]So let’s dive on it and see how OneDrive works for you. Please take a moment to open up another browser tab an follow-along. Pause the video and rewind as needed.Start by going to the Indiana Tech Office 365 logon page. It’s available by going to outlook. or choosing faculty/staff webmail from the My Accounts menu on the Indiana Tech Homepage. For your username you will type your network logon name and include ‘@indianatech.edu’ on the end. Note, this is NOT your email address. Then type your password.Once logged in, you’ll want to click the menu at the top left of the Office 365 screen, it looks like a checkerboard. Select OneDrive. Viola! You’re now in OneDrive!When you’re ready to log off, simply go to logoff and you’re back to where you started.If you have questions or run into an error don’t panic, please refer to the ‘Need Assistance’ section of this course and contact the Help Desk. They’ll be happy to work through the issue to find a solution.That concludes our ‘logging in’ section. See you in the next module after a short quiz!Module 4 ContentModule 4: “How to work with Files in OneDrive”VideoVideo OutlineMoving a file to OneDrive with Drag & DropUploading a file from the MenuDownloading a file from OneDriveCreating a FolderOpening a Microsoft Office File in OneDrive – 2 optionsPreview: Accessing OneDrive Directly from MS OfficePreview: Automatic file uploads from your workstationModule 4 Description:This module is designed to meet Objective #4 (“working with files in OneDrive”) and then the user will be instructed to follow along in another browser window or tab. The video in this module will show a user the basic functions that resemble how files are manipulated in Windows to activate prior knowledge. There is not a formal assessment for this walkthrough but the user will be asked if they were able to successfully complete the task described.Module 4 Video Script:[Voiceover of screen recording demonstrating actions on web interface in browser]Welcome back, let’s get a quick overview where we show you some basic ways of how we work with files in our OneDrive. If you’ve got your OneDrive open in another browser window, please feel free to pause as we go through or try these on your own after watching it. Review this video as many times as you feel like before going onto the next module.So let’s upload a file from our local machines to our OneDrive using the web interface. After you’ve signed into OneDrive, find the file you want to upload. In this case, we going to use a file on our Windows desktop. Simply slick the file and drag it into the browser window, then release it. You could also copy or cut and then paste it in the windowNow to download, if you wanted a local copy for some reason, just either choose ‘download’ and select a location. You can also drag-and-drop as we did earlier.If you want to organize your files, you’ll want to create folders. Just as with Windows Explorer on your computer you right click where you want the folder and select New then Folder. Give it a name. Move or copy the files you want to store into it.When you want to open a Microsoft Office file in OneDrive you’re going to notice that you have options you don’t have on your local computer. Office 365 has the option of using Microsoft Office programs such as Word and Excel in online format meaning you don’t need to have Office installed on the computer you’re using to access it to be able to edit the documents. This can be very useful for quick edits or times when you’re on a non-Indiana Tech computer that doesn’t have the Office suite of products. The online versions have slightly less features than their locally installed counterparts so you have the option of using either.To demonstrate, let’s open this Excel document and update a number using Excel Online.Now, if you’d wanted to do that locally instead of on the browse simple go to this point and choose “open on my computer”.Once OneDrive is rolled out to all faculty and staff the Help Desk will activating some features. Shortly you’ll be able to save Microsoft Office files directly into you OneDrive and your My Documents folder will automatically synchronize using a feature called File Sync to your OneDrive.In the next lesson we’ll go over how to delete and restore files in OneDrive. Please take a moment to try some of the things you’ve seen in the video with your own files and OneDrive. See you in the next module!Module 5 ContentModule 5 “How to work with files in OneDrive”VideoVideo OutlineHow to delete a fileHow to recover a fileFind a version of a fileModule 5 Description:This module is designed to meet Objective #5 (“Deleting/Recovering Files in OneDrive”) and then the user will be instructed to follow along in another browser window or tab. The video in this module will show a user the basic functions that resemble how files are manipulated in Windows to activate prior knowledge. There is not a formal assessment for this walkthrough but the user will be asked if they were able to successfully complete the task described.Module 5 Video Script:[Voiceover of screen recording demonstrating actions on web interface in browser]So last module we learned how to work with files, not what about removing them? Because of the space provided by your OneDrive there probably won’t be a need to delete files to make room for others. But if you want to get rid of a file, just right click it and hit ‘delete’. Just that easy.Now let’s say you didn’t mean to do that? If this were your local Home Drive you’d have to call the Help Desk to get it restored from backup. With OneDrive however you simply go to your OneDrive’s Recycle Bin and hit ‘restore.You can also see versions of the file and go back in time to previous ones by clicking versions and selecting the one you want. Remember that Excel file we updated using Excel online, what if we wanted to undo what we did earlier. Just go back!So feel free to try that on your own in your OneDrive. Once you’ve given it a shot, move on the next module and we’ll learn about how to share files with co-workers. See you soon!Module 6 ContentModule 6: “File Sharing Options”VideoVideo OutlineSharing a file directlySharing a file by a linkStop sharing a fileModule 6 Description:This module is designed to meet Objective #6 (“working with files in OneDrive”) and then the user will be instructed to follow along in another browser window or tab. The video in this module will show a user the basic functions that resemble how files are manipulated in Windows to activate prior knowledge. There is not a formal assessment for this walkthrough but the user will be asked if they were able to successfully complete the task described.Module 6 Video Script:[Voiceover of screen recording demonstrating actions on web interface in browser]Welcome to the last, and possibly most important, demonstration – how to use OneDrive to share files. Before OneDrive if you wanted to share a file you most likely would have attached it to an email. Not only does this clog up the recipient’s Inbox there’s no real way to collaborate on the same document. You ended up with two documents that you then had to combine into one. If you’ve collaborated on Indiana Tech’s SharePoint site you’re already familiar with how beneficial it is to not have to do that and instead work together on one master document. Let’s share a file in OneDrive and see how it works.For our demo we will share an Excel document with another user. Right click the document and choose ‘share’. Search for the user you want to share with and then share it. Watch here for your status and a notification is sent. You also need now the status changed in this column to ‘shared’Any files that have been shared with you show up here under “Shared with Me”If you’d like to get a direct link to the file to share via email or IM you can highlight the file and then “get link”. Did you forget who you shared it with just click the ‘shared’ status to see who has access to it. If you don’t want them to edit it, change ‘can edit’ to ‘view only’.To stop sharing, just select ‘stop sharing’.So now you know the basics of sharing files in OneDrive. Please take a moment to test it out with a co-worker to see how it work. Once you’re done that there’s a short quiz to test your knowledge.

This component is strictly optional however each user will be asked to self-report if they did or did not complete the task described. This is tracked on an honor basis. Self-Evaluation (Merrill’s 5 Star)PrincipleCriteriaExplanationLearner engaged in solving real-world problems.Does the courseware show the learners the task they will be able to do or problem they can solve as a result of completing the module?The learner will be working with a online service that is available to them and will eventually be used on a day-to-day basis as part of their work.Are learners are engaged at the problem or task level and not just the operation or action level?Learners are engaged in using this service and have the ability to make many different choices as to how to do that.Does the courseware involve a progression of problems rather than a single problem?The courseware starts with an brief overview of file sharing, the features of the product, then progresses from most commonly used features to the more advanced and lesser used features.Rating: GoldRelevant prior knowledge is activated as a foundation for new knowledge. Does the courseware direct learners to recall, relate, describe, or apply knowledge from past experience that can be used as a foundation for new knowledge?Learners are show how OneDrive closely mirrors daily tasks and items they currently use such as shared drives, drag-and-drop file transfer, Windows Explorer, and file backup.Does the Courseware provide relevant experience that can be used as foundation for the new knowledge?By focusing on terminology of “the Cloud” the learn should experience a sense that they’re gaining new knowledge that builds on the familiar and de-mystifies this jargon-laden term they are familiar with through popular culture. Application should invoke a sense of familiarity and mastery.If learners already know some or the content are they given the opportunity to demonstrate their previously acquired knowledge or skill?The course is designed so that if the user is already familiar with OneDrive they can skip around as needed using a non-linear format. This is not explicitly stated however.Rating: Gold3) New knowledge is demonstrated to the learner.Are examples consistent with content being taught?Yes, the examples should be both familiar to them and modules 3 through 6 start where the previous module ended. Are at the learners directed to relevant information, shown multiple representations used for demonstration, and/or are the demonstrations explicitly compared? Due to the volume of content to be covered depth and breadth are not as important as brevity and being concise.Is the media relevant to the content and user to enhance learning? By providing video examples they quizzes and tasks at the end of the modules should closely mirror what they’re experience on the job.Rating: Silver, due to lack of comparing demonstrations.New knowledge is practiced and applied by the learner. Are the application/practice and post-test consistent with the stated or implied objectives?Users are encouraged, but not forced, to practice each step that is demonstrated to them. The assessments and tasks are to reinforce the learning objective of the module.Does the courseware require learners to user new knowledge or skill to solve a varied sequence of problem and do they receive corrective feedback? It is intended that each assessment question provide the proper answer either at the end of the quiz or as each question is answered – that technical decision will depend on the product. Are learners able to access context-sensitive help or guidance when having trouble with the courseware? Is coaching gradually diminished as the course progresses?Each module’s content is a video of either an slide presentation or demonstration video with call-outs. There is little interaction beyond the assessments and tasks.Help and coaching are limited to contacting people outside of the course.Rating: Bronze. Interactivity and coaching are minimal. 5) New knowledge is integrated in to the learner’s worldDoes the courseware provide an opportunity for learners to publicly demonstrate new knowledge? Learners can integrate this learning into their work immediately as part of the training.Does the courseware provide the opportunity for learners to discuss, reflect on and defend their new knowledge and skill? There is no social learning as part of the course as it stands today.Does the courseware provide an opportunity for learners to create, invent, or explore new and persona ways to use their new knowledge or skill? Learners are able to organize their OneDrive content and share as needed to whichever level they feel comfortable. Rating: Silver, there is no soliciting of learner input or social connection.ReferencesMager, R.

It is a method for me to give you feedback prior to the final submission / design.5Instructional Content and Materials:Include all of the content that you will use within the learning module.Provide links to any online material that you will be using as part of the course content if it is already developed.If you are still creating a video, etc., include the “script” or content of the video.5Assessment ToolsInclude the assessment tool(s) that you will use to measure learner performance.These tools can take a wide range of formats.
