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.

Because of my job, I get to look at a lot of elearning courses. While these limitations are legitimate and present some obvious challenges, there’s no reason why you can’t take a step forward learning some basic graphic design concepts. Most rapid elearning designers aren’t also going to be outstanding graphic designers.

Many elearning developers are working with limited resources. Most elearning courses I see are info-centric and just push content out. Engage Your Learning Community. Now let’s go back to Urtak and discuss how we could use a free tool like this in elearning. YOUR E-Learning Survey. Well, now’s your chance.

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. October 25: Baton Rouge, LA (ASTD)—Webinar.

However, I haven’t been on the road since early June for any conferences , after running a workshop at ASTD’s international conference and then presenting at DAU/GMU’s Innovations in eLearning Conference. I don’t know about CLO (my first), but I love the Guild events, and I was trying to figure out why.

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.

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.

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. October 16-19: Las Vegas, NV (CUNA)— Experience Learning Live!

Learning is a funny thing. Real learning isn’t a one-time event (like many elearning courses) where it’s just a matter of getting new information. But in an elearning course, I have a room and equipment that is always available. That’s one of the good things about elearning. Embrace the Learning Process.

One of the most frequent questions I get is how to find an elearning job. While the rest of the economy seems to be stuck in mud, this seems to be a good time to consider a career in elearning. Review other elearning courses or multimedia. There’s lots of power in the elearning community of practice. That’s fine.

Starting with PowerPoint 2007, there are many features that make the rapid elearning process much more efficient. I detailed some of those features in this post on why PowerPoint 2007 helps you build better elearning. I find that there are any features that I use quite a bit, and mostly when I’m building elearning courses.

A lot of rapid elearning content finds its roots in repurposed classroom slides. And many elearning courses use characters in front of projection screens. If you’d like me to come to your area, the best bet is to connect with a group like your local ISPI or ASTD chapter and have them contact me. Details to follow.

First, to the elearner screen count means nothing. Instead of asking about screen count (which is driven more by dumping information) focus on how to create meaningful elearning that will make the hour more productive for the learner. Following are some simple tips to help build more productive elearning. Let me explain.
