My team provided an instructional plan to help Small and Medium-sized Business construction (SMB) contractors standardize their invoice creation and make templates that could be used for multiple job sites, saving an experienced contractor time, money, and labor. We followed ADDIE. ADDIE is an instructional design model that stands for Analyze, Design, Develop, Implement, and Evaluate.
I wrote a separate training analysis, but we began collaborating after the invoice proposal won by the bid. As a team, David Vermilyea, Glen Fuentes, Taylor Allen, and I created the Task List, Hierarchical Task Analysis, and Design Matrix. We chose one unit of the Design Matrix to develop. I made the Identifying Best Practices in the Readability section and test. We combined our final version in Google Classroom.
We each wrote a training analysis to find a training gap. We voted on the training opportunity that was the most relevant and pressing. We organized all of the tasks the learners expected to know to bridge the gap in the team task analysis. We organized those tasks into a hierarchy, and designed a lesson plan. We then divided one unit from the matrix into four parts. We each created a set of relevant slide decks with a quiz and test to test the learner’s knowledge. We placed that unit into Google Classroom.
This much-needed training will help SMB construction contractors standardize their invoice creation and help them spend more time on the job site and earn more revenue with accurate templates.
Here are the key artifacts for the project.
