The end of an iteration marks the opportunity to showcase working elearning to the customer, seek feedback and to potentially release the module(s) to learners. How many training modules does your client/ internal customer want this project to span? What's the framework you'll use to build your modules? We explored the waterfall approach towards elearning development in a prior post of this series. As you will notice in the above representation of the model, the issues are: Too much time gets spent in upfront design and planning when all of this is quite likely to change.

Steve Rayson, a partner at Kineo, told me about the free e-learning module they have created on the Lilly Ledbetter fair Pay Act in the US.  Apparently, 7% of US companies have had more than 20 wage and hour lawsuits filed against them, and a third of all publicly held organizations and 17% of private organizations have had lawsuits of at more than $20m at issue. The Kineo E-Learning module allows organizations to provide learning to all It was one of the first Acts that Obama introduced and they are keen to help promote the principles of the Act all their employees

These edits will have to be repeated in each project mode (demo, simulation, assessment). Today I’ll show you how you can create one recorded project, make the edits on this project, and then generate both the Training and Assessment modules in one shot (hence cutting your post production time in half!). Let’s take an example: Say you need to create a training and assessment module for “How to delete cookies in Internet Explorer?” rdquo; The steps involved

How does the learning know to find all of the information within a module. What is the definition of the world " Quality "? There are five ways to consider "quality" in terms of e-learning, virtual worlds or mobile learning: Functionality . The first and most basic form of quality is "does it work."

When you're using Litmos to build online courses there are lots of different types of modules you can include: Video, PowerPoint, Flash, Surveys, Assessments and Embedded content. As of today it is now possible to upload mp3 files as audio modules in their own right, which means it is also possible to track and report on them. To find out how to create audio modules just check out the demo Up until now it has only been possible to attach audio files to your online training courses as additional reference material. But not anymore!

Spell checking slides is easy when you're using the Litmos basic module editor. Click the ABC spellchecker button circled below The spellchecker will highlight misspelled words in yellow. Right clicking on the word will show a list of spelling corrections. In the case below we will select 'green' and the spell check is complete. If your word is not recognised by the

So, what I've done is restrict my thoughts to the design of interactive, e-learning content, drawing heavily from the 60-minute masters : Structure into modules. This will make it easier for learners, curriculum designers and intelligent software to make use of the content in a wide variety of contexts. Keep each module to one main idea. If they want more, they can always open another module. Hook Cath Ellis recently set out her ten commandments of e-learning and this prompted me to try and articulate my own. Now e-learning's a big subject if you include all

Interestingly the author chooses to sidestep the question he poses and instead gives a direct answer to a different question (focusing on modules that are parts of a course): What is a good length for a module? The exact number of minutes between 15 and 30 should be dictated by the depth and number of objectives in the learning module. In a one-hour course, it's absolutely Interesting question posed in eLearn Magazine article: How Long Should an E-learning Course Be? Through countless hours of instructional design, field testing, and client feedback, I have found that 30 minutes is

As I started writing the previous week , we are working on a mobile module that is accessible by a lot of (I know it is vague for now, but I will make it more substantial soon) mobile devices. It might not be sounding sexy, but it does deliver all: the HTML + CSS + mp4 set will be our main coding set for the mobile modules we are planning to give. We want to be able to track what The models we aim for are currently iPhone 3G, Nokia N95 and HTC TyTn. We have been dabbling with some applications, but let's face it, going back to basics normally gives the best result.

This is the nuclear fault of the LMS itself and of anitquated thinking from our learning leaders; it encourages standalone learning by driving people to register for an event … be it an ILT class or an eLearning module. This cannot happen solely in an ILT class and it surely does not happen in an eLearning module. This past week, I attended the SharePoint 2009 conference in Las Vegas. I’ll provide some feedback on that particular release in another blog posting (read Bill Simser for now) but what the conference itself got me thinking about was that, thankfully,
