Many elearning developers are working with limited resources. Most elearning courses I see are info-centric and just push content out. Now let’s go back to Urtak and discuss how we could use a free tool like this in elearning. This means you can easily add your survey to your elearning course. YOUR E-Learning Survey.

My guess is that some of the most common screen elements in elearning courses are computer monitors. They’re nice to use because contextually they fit elearning. Here’s a quick mockup of how you could use the laptop image in an elearning course. I’m also doing a free Articulate jam session while in town.

Because of my job, I get to look at a lot of elearning courses. When building elearning courses, everything on your screen should be there because you intended it to be there. Most rapid elearning designers aren’t also going to be outstanding graphic designers. This makes sense on a few fronts. Slide:ology.

It’s really an issue with a lot of training and elearning programs. Recognize that elearning courses aren’t the objective. It’s easy to be seduced by solutions because these seem tangible and active, especially with the simple and quick authoring of rapid elearning tools. They allow you to easily create solutions. No problem.

In a recent post, I shared my recent webinar with the E-Learning Guild and some of the conversation we had around rapid elearning. When I first started with elearning we’d have a team of people working on projects. It’s important to understand how people learn and how to build good elearning experiences.

At a recent session someone asked, “How do I measure the success of my elearning?”. While we may all use words like “elearning” we don’t always mean the same thing. On top of that, just because it’s built with an elearning tool doesn’t mean that the output is really an elearning course. That’s kind of a tricky question.

Two things always stand out during these trips: There is no one way to do elearning. Some people build courses, some create marketing material, and some use the rapid elearning software to create multimedia information. One of the sessions I did in Atlanta was on how to get the graphics you need for your rapid elearning courses.

Recently someone asked how to combine their mentoring program with elearning courses. However, there are a few challenges with this type of training and many are overcome by blending elearning content with the peer coaching. That’s where elearning proves valuable. This is something I’ve worked on a few times over the years.

There are three core questions that help guide the development of an elearning course. I discussed this a bit in the post on building a roadmap for elearning. For many rapid elearning developers the most challenging part is the first question because it requires a skill set different than training or instructional design.
