User-generated content, moderated by the learners themselves can be a very effective way of keeping information current. Learners don’t have to wait until the next training course to find out new things that can help them with their job role or personal development.

There is now such a wealth of technologies that enable L&D to create really exciting solutions that allow for collaboration, user-generated content, sharing and communities of practice. The traditional elearning course is just not enough to address these issues, although it may provide part of the answer.

The final challenges were that Waterstones wanted to be able to create and edit the content themselves. We are so pleased with the site and have received glowing positive feedback from the users, and seen a great take up from booksellers signing up and completing content. The Solution.

Don’t overburden learners with un-necessary content. You then need to identify the knowledge that people would need to complete the practice activities and include this in the goal, you could do this as text, a video, a link to an existing piece of elearning or links to other relevant resources – but keep it short.

So how can you sift through that stack of PowerPoint decks, Word docs, PDFs and intranet pages your SME says have got to be included to get to the crucial content? Efficient to design and develop, but most importantly efficient for your learners to go through.

Learners can also skip content that they already know. Just because the learning is organised into small chunks doesn’t mean that they cannot serve a larger learning objective. Resources can be tagged and organised into learning tracks which allow the learner to gradually build up skills. Because microlearning is, by definition small.

Be wary though – just because some has opened a piece of content it doesn’t mean they’ve been through it, just because they’ve completed something doesn’t mean they’ve paid any attention, and just because they’ve scored 80% or above in the assessment doesn’t mean they’ll remember any of it in a month’s time, or be able to apply it.

Author tool vendors are increasingly embracing HTML5 publishing, however, typically this will only support a sub-set of their functionality and you will be limited by users needing the very latest browsers to run the content. The self-paced elearning course has been a staple of the industry for many years and yes, they have their place.

Encourage content creation and reward people for sharing their knowledge, successes and failures. Creating a true learning culture takes time and requires buy-in at all levels, especially from the top. Some things that organisations can do include: Add learning goals to job descriptions. Encourage relationships that foster learning.

Make sure your content is concise and to the point – think ‘more quality and less quantity’. The choice of technology should be appropriate, relevant and aligned to the characteristics of the audience. If you have a few different elements, the purpose of each should be made clear at the outset. Make it interesting, engaging and memorable.

The concept of rapid elearning has led to some people having unrealistic expectations about how long elearning content takes to produce. Effective elearning content can be produced quickly by expert designer-developers but don’t expect a novice to produce award-winning content within a week of purchasing a rapid author tool license.

This is rather like, in course development, adding far too much content – the user can’t see what is important. The customer wants it – if a customer has a decent budget and you have a reasonable timescale, almost anything is possible. It becomes tempting to include ‘cool’ functionality just because you’re able to.
