Social Self-Paced Training

Learning Developments

NOVEMBER 11, 2009

Social networking and online self-paced will merge into social self-paced training. After all, online self-paced training is content just like a YouTube video, a picture on flickr , a blog posting, or anything else. Social media does significantly improve the learning and retention of online self-paced. I am convinced of this.

Being a bit of an e-learning nerd, I thought it would be cool to share some of the tools I use at my work. For the most part, I''m working with the training of field technicians and support folks. I''ve been using Adobe Captivate for basic e-learning courses. I''ve been working with my current company for over a year now.

I've learned over time that it is important for me to take time to view what I'm doing from different perspectives. I know it is important for me to check that my rudder is directed in the right position in this big pond of e-learning. So there is a high level outlook of my best guess of the future of e-learning at my organization.

Ask ourselves, what is the learning objective of this process? With a little bit of research I was able to find a content development tool (Articulate) that was on the opposite end of the spectrum and would save the training developers here hours of work per project. Is there a better/newer way to accomplish that objective?
