It really does not require so much work This actually means just come train and go and charge us close to nothing. The more trainers I meet, the more convinced I am that the training they deliver is not instructionally sound. The reviewers, the IDs, GDs, VDs, SMEs, stakeholders, learners, trainers (if ILT), organizers and printers (if ILT). had had trainers tell me that we at Kern design really cool ILT sessions.

Recently, a friend asked me how I transitioned from training to instructional design. 1) Starting as both a test prep trainer and a software trainer, I volunteered for ILT curriculum design projects, which led to blended and elearning. 2) I got a new job managing ILT and elearning projects and grew more interest in doing elearning design and development. 3) I got some formal training and made new connections.

common hit on eLearning is that it does not have the benefits gained through face to face interaction and collaboration with others that ILT can provide. Project based lessons are definitely something I can take back to work as they work well as part of a blended training approach including both instructor led and eLearning solutions.

We receive frequent requests to convert ILT courses to e-learning or distance learning. It’s my job to help the team realize that a clear slide for an ILT course may be very confusing in an online environment. In theory, the e-learning version of the course should be about ½ of the ILT version. recently had a project where we translated a 16 hour ILT course into a 45 minute e-learning course. Since I’m not a programmer by trade, it can be easy to look at an ILT worksheet or activity and say, “Yes, we can translate that into a great online activity by….” MORE >>

E-Learning (web based) has been in existence for more than 12 years, yet its impact in terms of the masses is still relatively low in comparison with other training approaches. Yet, when you explore the training space as a whole, e-learning is still being seen as the ugly stepchild to instructional led training. We as training professionals have been brainwashed, due to years of being indudated that ILT (Instructor led training) is the superior and in some corners of the training industry, the best method for learning.
