In a recent post I made this comment about rapid elearning tools: Rapid elearning played a role in the evolution of elearning mostly because it took course creation out of the hands of a few programmers and placed it into the hands of anyone who wanted to create a course. The same goes for elearning.

Linear courses are often the result of our focus on sharing information and not knowing how to move beyond this. In today’s post we’ll look at a few guiding principles that help in the transition from linear to interactive elearning. Instead of pushing information out, create a way for the learner to pull information in.

A couple of the benefits of elearning are consistent delivery of content and compression of time to deliver it. For example, there are often training initiatives that require some face-to-face sessions and peer interaction. That’s something that elearning can’t always do effectively. Consistent delivery of information.

What I’d do is treat each screen the same as a slide and then use clickable icons to reveal the course’s information. For example, instead of a screen with eight bullet points, I’d have a screen with eight icons. Each icon would have a label and when clicked would display additional information.

Most elearning courses I see are info-centric and just push content out. Often there’s little concern about how relevant the information is to the learner. Thus the learner is usually not engaged and has to wade through a lot of information. This is something an information dump can’t easily do. Well, now’s your chance.

Many times the compliance courses share information that is already available in other formats in the organization. If that’s the case, do you need a full multimedia product to share that information? Most compliance courses come with all sorts of constraints that aren’t conducive to good learning. Don’t create a course.

Because of this, the peer coach may take short cuts, not present complete information, or neglect the needs of the new person.
