SAMPLE Project Overview for Blended Learning Solution The following slides were part of a larger Project Overview presentation regarding a project to convert a week-long instructor-led course into a blended learning solution. Due to confidentiality agreements, the names of the companies have been substituted and only a few slides of the presentation are ‘shareable’. This sample shows not only the curriculum that I developed as a blended learning solution, but also demonstrates the type of communication I provide throughout my projects. The ‘missing’ slides outlined course topics for each course, showed the project development timeline, identified potential roadblocks to meeting the deadline as well as next steps. 12/8/08 Convert ILT course to e.
