Digital Job Aid

For my second project, I chose to create a digital job aid using Prezi that would help non-technical individuals who volunteered or were assigned to set up their Branch's SharePoint site recall information from one of the more challenging lessons in a course titled SharePoint 2010: Improving Business Processes. The job aid connects the learner back to the course by activating prior knowledge, and then reviews answers to the following important questions:

1. What is metadata?
2. Why is using metadata important?
3. How can a job aid help me organize my files using metadata?

This training is intended to be used by learners to refresh their own memories upon returning to their desks following the course. The digital job aid includes a link to a printable job aid which learners can use at their desk to plug in their own documents and generate metadata that can be used to organize their personal files.

Take a look at the instructional plan for the SharePoint 2010: Improving Business Processes course to get a better understanding of the instructional context of the digital job aid.

The digital job aid is embedded below, but if it does not display, you can still view the presentation in Prezi to learn how to organize your files in SharePoint 2010 using metadata.

Once you know how to identify metadata and apply it to files, download the paper job aid to get started organizing your own.
