Looking for Inspiration
Mar 05, 2012
Hi Friends,
I am working on a Performance Appraisal course that outlines how to rate the employee based on the written feedback and our 1-4 rating system, common mistakes that supervisors make in rating their employees and tips for assessing the employee's performance.
The outline looks like this:
- Intro to our rating system
- Explaining what each number represents
- Scenarios to apply the learning
- Using increments (3.25, 4.5, etc.)
- Scenario for increments
- Applying the N/A rating
- Scenarios that support N/A
- Accurately Assessing an Employee's Performance (Tips in an engage tabbed interaction)
- Common Mistakes to avoid (Quiz where the learner reads an example and chooses the correct term)
- Final Practice includes scenarios that brings all of the points above together)
I have the content written (and I think that it is solid) but I am struggling with how to make this course graphically appealing. I have scenarios where you read an employee's PA and then rate it as well as some other scenarios...so it is a situational course but graphically, I am blocking. I need a theme. I was thinking that I could use a ruler throughout bit I'm still not sure.
Do any of you have some cool idea for making this course graphically interesting?

some ideas that quickly sprang to mind are an employee's file/folder or a form that looks like the PA form. Even an office setting might be ok, with the characters moving in and out for the scenarios (David had a screenr on animation paths and perspectives that I'm thinking of).
Blair,
I really like the employee file idea. I think that I would like to apply that to the scenarios where the learner is reading an excerpt from an employees's PA so that they can rate the employee.
Any other ideas...keep 'em coming!!

I always really like when a form like that is placed over a background that looks like a fake desktop (especially when there are coffee cup rings involved!)
Of course, I wouldn't use that for the entire course, but it would be well mixed with the folders maybe?
@Kristin! You are so right...that would work great with one of the scenario activities.....genius!
Since it's about rating, maybe something along the lines of an Olympics theme, with the ratings displayed on the cards. There are a lot of graphic elements that come to mind for various Olympic games.
@Natalia, I like how you think.....The PA Olympics....great idea.
Or even "office Olympics" - like desk chair races or rubber band archery!
I love the idea of seeing the ratings as a judge holding up a card. Great idea Natalia!
@Kristin, I love your idea but I can't imagine how to apply that in a course....I may have to ponder that one for a while!!
Good luck!
