00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:00.266


2
00:00:00.266 --> 00:00:12.499
Welcome everyone. This video is intended to introduce you to the dominKnow Learning Content Management System or LCMS.

3
00:00:12.500 --> 00:00:21.266
The LCMS is a development and course management tool that will help us meet students anywhere they are.

4
00:00:21.266 --> 00:00:27.132
It will be used to create course materials for a variety of delivery methods including instructor led classroom training

5
00:00:27.133 --> 00:00:32.299
web-based Independent Study, and virtual instructor led training.

6
00:00:32.300 --> 00:00:36.133


7
00:00:36.133 --> 00:00:40.899
EMI will utilize the LCMS capabilities to:

8
00:00:40.900 --> 00:00:44.666
- Develop Materials within Custom Templates

9
00:00:44.666 --> 00:00:48.332
- Create Interactive Training Content

10
00:00:48.333 --> 00:00:50.199
- Work as a Team

11
00:00:50.200 --> 00:00:53.433
- Manage Learning Materials and Media Assets

12
00:00:53.433 --> 00:00:55.433


13
00:00:55.433 --> 00:01:02.066
Let’s begin by taking a look at the different LCMS products.

14
00:01:02.066 --> 00:01:12.166
All content developed with the LCMS will be exported as web-based SCORM content. This does differ from our previous course materials

15
00:01:12.166 --> 00:01:18.899
like PDFs and PowerPoints, but offers several advantages.

16
00:01:18.900 --> 00:01:26.666
This is an example of an interactive student manual that was created in the LCMS.

17
00:01:26.666 --> 00:01:34.466
Since the exported course is SCORM compliant, it will keep track of where you left off.

18
00:01:34.466 --> 00:01:41.632
Additionally, it is much more interactive than a traditional PDF based manual.

19
00:01:41.633 --> 00:01:48.833
The materials will become a resource that a student may access and reference long after they complete the training.

20
00:01:48.833 --> 00:01:54.833
Instructor manuals can look and function in very similar ways.

21
00:01:54.833 --> 00:02:00.899
There are several built-in templates that may be used for various different types of

22
00:02:00.900 --> 00:02:07.000
materials depending on how it will be presented or consumed.

23
00:02:07.000 --> 00:02:14.100
Within the templates, each page may be fully customized to meet the learner’s needs allowing for

24
00:02:14.100 --> 00:02:21.200
unique custom designs, while still maintaining FEMA and EMI branding.

25
00:02:21.200 --> 00:02:22.266


26
00:02:22.266 --> 00:02:25.799
Now, we will review some of the interactions that you

27
00:02:25.800 --> 00:02:30.433
can easily create using the LCMS.

28
00:02:30.433 --> 00:02:35.533
At its core, the LCMS is a content authoring tool that you can use to

29
00:02:35.533 --> 00:02:40.666
improve existing courses or develop highly interactive training materials.

30
00:02:40.666 --> 00:02:44.299
Similar to PowerPoint, you can create presentations,

31
00:02:44.300 --> 00:02:49.066
but the LCMS does so much more. It gives you the capability to create user

32
00:02:49.066 --> 00:02:53.866
interactions and can even remember choices that students have made in the past. 

33
00:02:53.866 --> 00:02:55.499


34
00:02:55.500 --> 00:02:58.300
Let’s take a look at a few examples:

35
00:02:58.300 --> 00:03:01.666
The first example is a scenario re-imagined in a few ways.

36
00:03:01.666 --> 00:03:05.032
It begins with a long running page allowing

37
00:03:05.033 --> 00:03:11.433
the student to scroll down and read through the scenario introduction as new content is revealed.

38
00:03:11.433 --> 00:03:16.966
While several slides in a row could accomplish the same task, unique custom experiences

39
00:03:16.966 --> 00:03:22.532
like this are also possible when developing content in the LCMS.

40
00:03:22.533 --> 00:03:27.566
The first screen concludes with a choice for the learner.

41
00:03:27.566 --> 00:03:33.499
They will decide which role they would like to take through the rest of the scenario.

42
00:03:33.500 --> 00:03:43.000
Student choices or content input can be saved as they work through the training materials and may be used later.

43
00:03:43.000 --> 00:03:56.166
In this example, their role could potentially change some of the content in the scenario.

44
00:03:56.166 --> 00:04:01.199
As we continue to walk through the scenario you may notice a few other things.

45
00:04:01.200 --> 00:04:05.066
Slides do not all need to look the same.

46
00:04:05.066 --> 00:04:13.799
The system allows for branching through different paths in the form of a choose-your-own adventure style scenario.

47
00:04:13.800 --> 00:04:19.666
In this example, we have a couple of decisions that in the end will bring us to the same point.

48
00:04:19.666 --> 00:04:27.166
It is however possible to create complex branching with multiple outcomes.

49
00:04:27.166 --> 00:04:30.699
There are a variety of different drop-in interactive components

50
00:04:30.700 --> 00:04:33.866
that may be added to your course as well.

51
00:04:33.866 --> 00:04:42.066
This slide contains an interactive flip card set that may include text and/or images on each side.

52
00:04:42.066 --> 00:04:47.566
This particular scenario is intended to be completed by a student independently,

53
00:04:47.566 --> 00:04:54.699
however, these interactive components could also be used in Instructor Led courses as well.

54
00:04:54.700 --> 00:05:00.100
As we continue through the scenario, we see additional choices that can be made.

55
00:05:00.100 --> 00:05:09.066
Some decisions are incorrect and may force us to move back, while others allow us to continue progressing.

56
00:05:09.066 --> 00:05:14.066
The system includes a variety of question types that may also be added to your content.

57
00:05:14.066 --> 00:05:16.932
In this case we opted to create custom interactions

58
00:05:16.933 --> 00:05:22.066
rather than using the pre-built multiple choice question option.

59
00:05:22.066 --> 00:05:27.399
In this demo, we have shown a small part of a single scenario and a few examples

60
00:05:27.400 --> 00:05:32.733
of the interactions that you can easily create within our new LCMS.

61
00:05:32.733 --> 00:05:36.933
Now we are going to move away from this scenario and look at a few other types of

62
00:05:36.933 --> 00:05:41.133
built-in interactions that you may wish to use in your course.

63
00:05:41.133 --> 00:05:42.566


64
00:05:42.566 --> 00:05:48.899
Interactive features allow for the user to be engaged while accessing the content of a course.

65
00:05:48.900 --> 00:05:55.266
Here are just a few of the interactive features that are available.

66
00:05:55.266 --> 00:05:57.266
Tab Sets

67
00:05:57.266 --> 00:06:06.366
An accordion - and as the user reads the information a checkmark appears so they know it's been read.

68
00:06:06.366 --> 00:06:10.299
Also to note, with these interactive features

69
00:06:10.300 --> 00:06:15.566
is the ability to put both images and text.

70
00:06:15.566 --> 00:06:21.699
On this page, we are utilizing two different types of interactive features

71
00:06:21.700 --> 00:06:24.866
to chunk information for users.

72
00:06:24.866 --> 00:06:25.332


73
00:06:25.333 --> 00:06:28.499
The Carousel

74
00:06:28.500 --> 00:06:39.866
The Timeline - and in this case we chose not to use it as a timeline, but to display questions as we scroll.

75
00:06:39.866 --> 00:06:45.832
Notice the use of color on this page to also chunk information.

76
00:06:45.833 --> 00:06:46.866


77
00:06:46.866 --> 00:06:56.699
There are many interactive features that are available. This allows for endless possibilities to create engaging content

78
00:06:56.700 --> 00:06:59.800
for your students.

79
00:06:59.800 --> 00:07:00.633


80
00:07:00.633 --> 00:07:03.999
Course Development is not an independent activity.

81
00:07:04.000 --> 00:07:07.933
The LCMS provides you with the capability to work as a team. 

82
00:07:07.933 --> 00:07:11.899
Multiple authors may work on the same course simultaneously.

83
00:07:11.900 --> 00:07:19.233
The system allows authors to protect the content they are creating and still contribute to the course as a whole.

84
00:07:19.233 --> 00:07:23.633
Additionally review periods can be set for each project.

85
00:07:23.633 --> 00:07:30.699
Subject Matter Experts may add comments during that review period and those comments may be adjudicated by the developer.

86
00:07:30.700 --> 00:07:32.033


87
00:07:32.033 --> 00:07:36.399
Once content is added or developed within the LCMS it can be reused.

88
00:07:36.400 --> 00:07:41.200
The system allows for the Management of Learning Materials and Media Assets.

89
00:07:41.200 --> 00:07:46.600
The Media Library allows content authors to easily search for images,

90
00:07:46.600 --> 00:07:52.433
videos, audio, documents, or any other type of media that was used in the past.

91
00:07:52.433 --> 00:08:00.299
Images carry alt text with them allowing authors to seamlessly ensure materials are 508 compliant. 

92
00:08:00.300 --> 00:08:05.900
The LCMS also has a Stock Media Library with many useful images that can be added

93
00:08:05.900 --> 00:08:11.500
to your courses as backgrounds or content, creating eye-pleasing slides.

94
00:08:11.500 --> 00:08:18.100
Thanks for taking some time to learn about some of the capabilities of our new LCMS.

95
00:08:18.100 --> 00:08:25.400
We hope that you are as excited as we are to begin developing highly engaging and quality course materials.
