I get lots of questions from those who are just getting started with rapid elearning. They want to know what they can do to build good elearning. The same goes for elearning. You won’t necessarily build world-class elearning the first time you build an elearning course. Treat elearning like a textbook.

Building elearning courses is hard enough. In the elearning world, sloppy asset management is like a box of tangled cords. Who owns the content and has final say on the design and implementation of the elearning courses? There’s a lot that goes into building elearning courses; and with that a lot that can slow things down.

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.

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.

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.

Real learning isn’t a one-time event (like many elearning courses) where it’s just a matter of getting new information.
