**LTMS Technology Project: Using Simulations **

 * In Primary Prevention Training for Victims of Domestic Violence **
 * Purpose: **
 * This wiki posts the resources and proposed organization for the development of six training modules to be utilized by victims of domestic violence. The modules are designed for trainees to use independently, for all or any of the following reasons: **
 * 1) Increase personal safety **
 * 2) Achieve financial independence **
 * 3) Establish a home **
 * 4) Begin recovery from the trauma of abuse **
 * 5) Earn custody of children **
 * 6) Use technology safely **

Simulation and Tutorial Diagram:
====The second diagram details the essential content to be used in developing the simulations and tutorials. The diagram also proposes the action sequence for the simulations, and also illustrates how the trainee can work through any of the three proposed learning methods.====

Proposed Design Tools :
====The proposed tools are as follows: To incorporate all three training methods into a single module, the components will be developed as follows. The simulations will be created using Flash CS5.5. The tutorials will be designed with Captivate,(Powerpoint will be used to layout the basic designof each slide.), which will also include the formative and summative assessments. The simulations will be incorporated with the tutorials and assessments as separate units. Each unit will be produced as a separate module. Each module may be produced separately or all may be combined into a single stand-alone software program.====

Proposed Delivery:
====Whether each module is produced separately or combined into a single program, the final product must be installed on personal computers within the Domestic Violence Service, and without need for Internet access. While the modules might eventually be available on the web, the initial launch of the training will be with victims whose confidentiality must be protected.====
