I’ll be presenting on building communities and how to build elearning courses with limited resources. October 25: Houston – Elearning Symposium.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. And when she finally succeeded she let out a cry of joy. Free Willy!

While the application is versatile and great for elearning, many people still struggle to get past the PowerPoint look because the features are designed to encourage the use of the templates. But when you want to build “regular” elearning, then you use something else. And this is where the elearning community comes in handy.

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.

You may have prospects, clients or professional contacts in the city where the conference is taking place.

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.

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.
