I started this post with this photo because it shows a typical subset of the alumni volunteers that will eventually use the training module that I would like to create. It's somewhat difficult to tell, but there is a wide range of ages, however, there are some consistencies in their backgrounds.
- All of the volunteers have a college degree
- They all went to James Madison University
- They all have access to a computer and regularly use email/internet/social media
- Their roles are all in addition to full time jobs
- Most of them are between the ages of 25-35, however a small handful are 35+ and have families/children
- They are motivated by different things, but have all self-identified for their roles (i.e. they let us know what they were interested in and were put in to their roles based on their preference)
Taking all of these characteristics in to account, I have decided that the module most definitely needs to be flexible in its delivery (i.e. asynchronous vs synchronous) and self-guided. These volunteers have the motivation to learn the material on their own and need the flexibility to do it on their own time. This will help me decide what program to use when I create the module as well.
