Developing elearning tends to focus on three areas – content, design and technology, which really is a given, but there is no strategic substance to focus our vision and desired outcomes. Making elearning work is a challenge, and I know from experience that there is very little emphasis placed on the people who will be taking the learning!

From time to time we hear the requests – “we need elearning” or “we need to change our elearning”, which I always follow up with the question, Why? In many cases the rationale behind adopting an elearning approach is a long term cost issue, or getting the learning out to the people at the press of a button.

The shape of elearning is constantly changing. With recent developments in media technology, elearning will start a new evolution that will be influenced by key drivers such as smartphone technology. This is not to say that elearning as we know it will no longer be viable. It is not just mobile learning making its impact felt.

I had a conversation with someone recently (we will call her Ann) who gave me her view of elearning within her organisation. We didn’t talk much about the look and feel of the elearning solutions she encountered, but more about the ability to access the learning. She then proceeded to tell me about the ‘time’ constraints!

The success of elearning can be attributed to the quality of what is created and delivered. However, the constant changes in media technology and our ever evolving ‘information accessing’ behaviour is certainly testing the viability of any created elearning solution. Mistakes are already being made with mobile learning.

We were discussing the elearning industry when a question was raised: ‘Do people really understand what elearning is?’ But a definition of elearning is not enough for people to fully understand it. There is almost a science around elearning and how to make it work. The answer of course is yes!

I have often thought about this question, especially at the start of every project – what will make this elearning solution work. I have worked on projects where the Learning Manager will have a vision how they want the elearning to look and react. One of the biggest eye openers for me was when I was a judge on elearning awards.
