The project spans a couple of years and, despite encountering some challenges, succeeds in large part because of its strong foundation: the instructional design. This case study features an instructional designer from a central Canadian university and three SMEs. The main design issues highlighted are the target population’s limited availability for continuing education, the SME’s lack of knowledge of the instructional design process, the magnitude of this project with its national scope but limited timeframe and human resources, as well as personnel changes among the SMEs and the instructional design team. This case outlines how the project team deals with these challenges to produce a series of online workshops that provide high quality training in French to healthcare professionals across Canada.  \nKeywords: instructional design, educational design, e-training, online training, professionals, health, French, instructional design model, process, e-learning, online learning, workshops, continuing education  \n1 Translated into English by Michèle Clermont.  \nThe authors would like to thank Dr. Breanne Oryschak for her editing contributions.  \nInstitutional Context  \nMurroll University has a history of more than three decades in distance education. In fact, its distance education team is among the most experienced in Canada. However, few courses are offered fully online at the university. Even though many faculty have a website on the University’s learning management system, most of their websites are used to supplement their face-to-face courses.  \nThe University is considered to be a large institution with approximately 40,000 students. Its numerous support services, including the one where Arianne works, make it possible to deliver courses entirely online, in a blended format, or to broadcast via audio and video conferencing accompanied by a web component.  \nThanks to its team of professionals, the Centre for e-Learning is able to support the University’s faculty and services. During a meeting with the team of SMEs for this particular project, George tells them about the Centre’s purpose and short history: “Our Centre was created because the University believes it is important to invest in the support of faculty who want to effectively integrate technology into teaching and learning. So when faculty want to put their courses or part of their courses online, they call us. We have one of the largest e-learning teams in Canada. Since this project is rather complex, we’ll see which of our multimedia production specialists will be able to help you design these workshops, produce them, and put them online!”  \nThe Characters  \nNote: All collaborators work at Murroll University  \nArianne is an instructional designer at the Centre for e-Learning at Murroll University. The goal of the centre is to support the university’s professors and staff from faculties and services across campus in the design and implementation of blended or fully online courses or educational resources. Arianne has been working at this centre for several years. Prior to this, she taught atthe college level for many years and gained instructional design experience in the private sector. She holds a Master’s degree in Educational Technology and has designed and managed many large-scale online projects. Arianne works closely with the Centre’s production team. The Director assigns her a major project…  \nGeorge is the director of the Centre for e-Learning. He has run similar centres in his province and has taught at several Canadian universities.  \nRobert is another instructional designer at the","cbCaipiT87mfD9gd","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaipiT87mfD9gd","pdf",599723,23,"English","# Abstract\n# Institutional Context\n# The Characters\n# Background","[{\"question\":\"Who is involved in the project and what roles do they play?\",\"answer\":\"Arianne is the instructional designer, George is the director, and Robert is another instructional designer.
