Research Poster Training Video

The Challenge

The Introductory Composition Program (ICAP) needed to convert an instructor-led research poster training into a sustainable, self-paced format. Many graduate instructors had limited experience with research posters and little time for independent research. Additionally, the program would no longer have a dedicated technical trainer, requiring a flexible, standalone solution that could maintain engagement and ensure learning outcomes. The project required adapting synchronous learning strategies, including Gagné’s Nine Events, to an asynchronous format while keeping the training comprehensive and accessible.

The Result

The final video-based training provided graduate instructors with a clear, engaging, and comprehensive learning experience. The project also allowed me to gain experience with Adobe Premiere Pro and refine techniques for applying Gagné’s Nine Events in asynchronous learning. If I were to complete this project again, I would record the PowerPoint voiceover in a separate program (like Audacity) rather than directly in PowerPoint in order to achieve a better audio quality. Overall, I am very happy with the pacing and tone of my voiceover. I think the training is appropriately comprehensive and can serve as a valuable asset in the client’s training repository for future use.
