This month's ASTD Big Question on the Learning Circuit's Blog is about Social Networking and finding help and expertise if you have a question or a concern for which you need input and/or advice. when working a network to find information the whole process was severely constrained by time and resources. Let me explain.

The guiding principle for rapid elearning design is to be intentional. Not all of the information about a given topic needs to be in an elearning course. What can you do to get the learner to practice using the information in a setting similar to what they’d do in the real world? July 18: Knoxville, TN ( Smoky Mountain ASTD ).

Guide to e-Learning. So they’re not bored with the course structure; they’re bored with information that they don’t need. You get some information, apply it, and then see how you did. Many times the courses we build are information dumps. One of the best things you can do is take information out of the course content.

One of my favorite parts of going to elearning conferences is meeting so many of the industry’s thought leaders.

Sharon Bowman , owner of Bowperson Publishing and Training , once said at an ASTD conference I attended, that the ideal instructor is “the guide from the side, not the sage on the stage.” Guides ask. Your questions should be pointed and information-gathering. Questions are the key to driving learning success.

What I’d do is treat each screen the same as a slide and then use clickable icons to reveal the course’s information. Each icon would have a label and when clicked would display additional information. The trick here is to pick icons that visually represent the essential idea of the information. The conference is open to all.

Often there’s little concern about how relevant the information is to the learner. Thus the learner is usually not engaged and has to wade through a lot of information. This is something an information dump can’t easily do. In the example below, we created some information about student/teacher ratios.

Many times the compliance courses share information that is already available in other formats in the organization. If that’s the case, do you need a full multimedia product to share that information? For example, the course navigation is locked or there’s way too much information. That’s up to 300 minutes of information.

Many organizations use the rapid elearning tools just to share information. Getting more exposure to the correct information is critical. It’s less about giving them information and more about how they use the information to make decisions. Sharing Information. In that case you can set different metrics.

It makes sense that the back and forward navigation is at the bottom right corner since it isn’t critical information and one of the last things we need to see on that screen.

Without any context, a pyramid generally will tell you that the information is weighted based on its position in layers and that there’s usually some sort of interconnected sequential relationship. So I went back and realized that there was no relationship between the information and how it was stacked in the pyramid.

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