Many elearning developers are working with limited resources. Most elearning courses I see are info-centric and just push content out. Now let’s go back to Urtak and discuss how we could use a free tool like this in elearning. This means you can easily add your survey to your elearning course. YOUR E-Learning Survey.

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 25: Baton Rouge, LA (ASTD)—Webinar. I saved it as a PNG.

In the past I’ve built similar elearning courses for organizations that taught their employees about having these disaster kits. When I first learned to build elearning courses the rule was that you HAD to have a page that stated the learning objectives. December 13 : UMBC (free webinar)— Simplifying Interactive E-Learning.

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.

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.

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.

In a recent post, I shared my recent webinar with the E-Learning Guild and some of the conversation we had around rapid elearning. When I first started with elearning we’d have a team of people working on projects. It’s important to understand how people learn and how to build good elearning experiences.

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.

Recently someone asked how to combine their mentoring program with elearning courses. However, there are a few challenges with this type of training and many are overcome by blending elearning content with the peer coaching. That’s where elearning proves valuable. This is something I’ve worked on a few times over the years.

I get a lot of questions about book recommendations from people just getting started with elearning. Let’s suppose you were on a desert island and in between catching fish and talking to volley balls you had a deep desire to learn more about elearning. Elearning 101. Unfortunately there’s not enough focus on that for elearning.

There are three core questions that help guide the development of an elearning course. I discussed this a bit in the post on building a roadmap for elearning. For many rapid elearning developers the most challenging part is the first question because it requires a skill set different than training or instructional design.

Microlearning has increasingly become the buzzword on the lips of instructional designers and elearning specialists everywhere. What experts do agree on is that you don’t just chop up a 60-minute elearning module or video into smaller five- or 10-minute pieces and call it microlearning. Less fatiguing.

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.

Today we’ll look at the rapid elearning questions. So for them elearning was an all or nothing proposition.
