Association members grow and change over time, and their needs grow and change with them. Unless the association addresses these changes, members won’t see the value of their membership.

An RFP, or Request for Proposal, allows you to outline what you are looking for in your ideal Learning Management System vendor and creates a standardized form or checklist for all would-be vendors to follow. When every organization or product you are considering follows the same guidelines, answers the same questions and provides the same materials, it is easier for you to compare them and determine which best suits your eLearning program goals.

Let’s face it, most all of us turn to Google to verify facts and learn something new. Recently, I watched a video on how to convert my garage florescence tube fixtures for LED blubs. Our ability to find what we need to learn on the Internet is ubiquitous; so much so that 70% of employees will turn to Google before their company learning files*. This format of learning has spawned the microlearning movement.

Many of our curricula reflect what we used to value in the workplace: mastery of domain knowledge. In the past, companies needed people who could crunch the numbers with a calculator to get the right answer or who had memorized how to assemble parts.

Associations and nonprofits share a marketing dilemma unlike traditional for-profit businesses. The target market and demographics for a business are centered around prospective clients and existing clients. Nonprofits and associations have a limited target audience, which consists of existing members, sponsors and exhibitors. Planning and effective execution of marketing concepts for services, such as online courses, requires a different approach to be successful.
