After 9/11, when we were avoiding travel, there was a push for elearning. And, with the usual push for efficiency, rapid elearning became the vogue. It looked like lectures, so it must be learning, right? As part of that, we need to create better expectations about what learning is. We need to reset expectations.

We seldom look to see if the learning has actually changed any behavior, let alone whether it’s now at an acceptable level. When we didn’t want to travel, we went to elearning. Rapid eLearning tools emerged to make it fast to take the PPTs and PDFs from the previous courses and put them onscreen with an added quiz.

You can develop meaningful learning in a couple of weeks. The rise of rapid elearning tools and a lack of understanding of learning has led to the situation where someone will be handed a stack of PPTs and PDFs and a rapid authoring tool and expected to turn out a course.

Which meant that a lot of content-based training ended up being content-based elearning. The rush to take content and put it onscreen drove some of the excitement around ‘rapid elearning’ The continuing focus on efficiency – taking content, adding a quiz, and putting it online – was pushed to the extreme.

Or a rapid elearning tool, but don’t put hands to a development tool ’til it’s mapped out on paper (you don’t want to prematurely converge on what the tool makes easy until you’ve figured out the best design). All before you actually start building.

The LMS, rapid elearning tools, virtual classrooms, and of course the omnipresent F2F training sessions are the rule. My simple version is that L&D isn’t doing all it could and should be doing, and what it is doing it is not doing well. The flaws are myriad. What we see are courses as the only tool in the toolbox.

For my own presentation, I shared my efforts to move ‘rapid elearning’ forward. These included five basic principles: mlearning is not just mobile elearning; mlearning is a wide variety of things. the focus should be on augmenting us, whether our formal learning, or via performance support, social, etc.
