IDT Final Project: Update #3

I have provided instruction to the learners I am currently wrapping up the report and will be on schedule to deliver the project on the due date. Below is an example of the introduction, step-by-step procedures, and assessment. 

o    Introduction to the Activity:
o    At work my team, ESC VoIP Coordinators  is looking for applications and/or software that will help create collaborative knowledge base documents. The reason my team is sourcing such technology is because we implement and trouble shoot phones, soft phones, and voicemails; many of the systems get updated often; therefore, we need applications and/or software that will enable us to collaborate through discussion, identify who created changes, and have a centralized location for documentation. I will invite learners to a Wiki I have created in PBworks called How to Enable Microsoft Lync Phone. In the Wiki, I will provide learners instruction regarding the functionality of PBworks and how to enable Microsoft Lync Phones. I have created a Class Materials folder; this is where the instruction and discussion is located; all the pertinent information will be provided to the learners in scheduled demonstrations. When instruction is complete, learners are required to complete a one-hour assessment; then, learners will be sent an e-mail with an evaluation of the course; feedback is required.
