Goals and Objectives
The implementation of the production of Daisy format in the Alternate format department. Daisy is a form of searchable accessible alternate format.
The goals of the supra- system is to provide accessible alternate format for students with print disabilities. The goal of this model is within the larger goal of the Office of Disability Services and Syracuse University.
The training is going to concentrate on the student workers and /or staff who are involved with the production of alternate format. The method will be a combination of small group and individual instruction. Most of the instruction will be hands on instruction/ interactive with the equipment, software, and the worker. Flow charts will be created to explain the steps and process at each step. I will conduct the training.
I am looking at the Reusable Information Object as some of the steps are used in other processes.
This will also be helpful if I am training a person for just one very specific part of the job.
For the group learning, I will bring the five workers together do a lecture. Giving an over view of the process. Then a demonstration in the production room of how each step is cared out.
Space is the determining factor as the production room only allows three people at a time in there.
I am going to create a flow chart to explain the model. It will have the following:
Design
Introduction
Preparation
Scanning
Saving /transferring
Editing PDF
Editing Daisy
Convert
Saving transferring
CD creation
Summary
Implement
Test
Evaluate and adjust
Evaluate overall (feed back from students as end-users)
The turn over rate in production is but evry two years we have a totally new staff so training is always on going.

You have talked about some really good points in your post.
I am assuming Daisy has become more and more popular. Likewise, I am sure that with the popularity has left a deficit on trained users.
I am just curious wouldn't the office of disability services at syracuse university be smaller system of students with print disabilities as the larger system?
Would training be more effective to have larger seminar groups and smaller lab groups while practicing. Would the lab expierence give the user quality time with the new system?
I like you idea of RLO becuase it seems like some users may be more advanced than others.
I hope this helps.
Thanks,
SB
