Ashford 2: – Week 1 – Discussion 1

Your initial discussion thread is due on Day 3 (Thursday) and you have until Day 7 (Monday) to respond to your classmates. Your grade will reflect both the quality of your initial post and the depth of your responses. Reference the Discussion Forum Grading Rubric for guidance on how your discussion will be evaluated.

Using   a JIT Approach – Needs Analysis

 Read the final project instructions, found in the “Components of Course Evaluation” section of this guide or in the Week Six module of your online course, and the article, The “Just-in-Time Imperative”.  Then, complete the following:

1. Explain the Just-in-Time (JIT) approach in your own      words. 
2. Identify a problem that can be addressed by JIT      training/learning, either in your workplace or academic setting (e.g.,      employees at a fast-food restaurant cannot seem to take orders correctly      using the company’s registers and software; chemistry students are having      a hard time understanding important concepts, because they are spending      too much time and effort trying to memorize formulas). 
3. Describe at least three possible JIT training/learning      technology solutions that might address this problem. 
4. Using scholarly sources for support, explain how you      think each possible solution could address this problem. 

 Guided Response: Post your initial response in the discussion forum.  Then, respond to at least four of your classmates in the discussion forum by providing additional comments and recommendations on their identified problems and solutions.
 

Note that this needs analysis will be used throughout the course in developing your final project.
