The eLearning Guild ‘s DevLearn was a blast, as always. Early in the new year, I’ll be running the mobile design workshop in San Jose for ASTD’s TechKnowledge conference. I was so involved that I hardly got to see any sessions, but had great conversations. Exciting times ahead.

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.

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.

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.
