Web articles are the more flexible of the two options, but PDFs are better when you know the document is going to get printed. Web articles and PDFs are not a glamorous or high-tech solution, but they are the resources we normally turn to for a more in-depth examination of an issue.

The World Wide Web is a system which allows documents formatted using Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) to be shared across the internet in the form of web pages, aggregated as web sites. As we know, they are not. Web pages are viewed using applications called web browsers (Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome, Safari, etc.).

A text document, video or podcast is much better suited to this task than a tutorial and, assuming it isn't already available as a web resource, is much easier to put together. My recommendation is not to go there. Some learning material requires quiet reflection and note-taking.

Rapid e-learning is used most to create content that must be developed quickly / updated often / repurposed from existing documents : Which makes sense, assuming of course that it works. Rapid e-learning is leading to a significant increase in the amount of content created overall: Which, again, proves that rapid e-learning is efficient.

You consult your network, you explore available resources, you may even document what you find for the benefit of others. Reactive learning: This is what you do when you need to carry out a task but you don't know how to do it. It's just-in-time and just enough. Proactive learning: Rather than just-in-time, this is just-in-case.

Most often, what the client reads in the design documentation simply does not convey what the finished will be like and how learners will react to it. Ideas don't work and new ones have to be tried. Often better ideas come up unexpectedly late on. Technical ideas fail and have to be re-worked and fixed.
