You read the title correctly. This post is dedicated to pet peeves, worst practices, and other abominations that terrorize eLearning. What follows is a combination of things that give Digitec-ies nightmares and headaches. I considered listing them here, but there were quite a few and a list alone did not express the sheer torment these things can cause.

When you are building an eLearning course, you will want to ensure that all learners—including those with visual impairments—are able to take your course. In many cases, a learner is using a screen reader software like JAWS, so in order to develop an accessible Web eLearning course, the order of the objects placed on a web page needs to be read in a logical order by the screen reader software.

Here’s a very important (and often ignored) fact about employees: they forget things, just like everyone else. Even scarier?

How can companies boost employee memory in the workplace and curb the forgetting curve?

There are many benefits from sharing ideas at work. I thought it would be good to write this because I occasionally hear people talk about sharing creates stolen ideas and in return fighting over those stolen ideas.

Measuring the value of eLearning is notoriously difficult. In this article, I will explain how I managed to do that by replacing classroom with online training. When I started working at a previous employer, they didn't have any eLearning. With a team of trainers travelling all corners of the globe, there was an understandable push to reduce travel costs.

One major challenge faced by virtual classroom facilitators is the absence of eye contact and body language that they usually rely on in the traditional classroom. Using surveys, polls and feedback tools in the virtual classroom can offset this lack of physical interaction. These tools help facilitators create engagement and determine whether participants understand the material.

Time and effort put into the development of eLearning programs is significant. This has moved many organizations to put pressure on eLearning departments to become either cost-neutral or profit centers; meaning courses developed need to be sold. To help facilitate this, there are many Moodle Plugins to help you do so. PayPal was the first Ecommerce plugin that enabled transactions directly from Moodle but there are now additional integrations that provide modern online payment options.

I often write about the benefits of creating an online course and selling them. It’s a fantastic way to build a passive income and potentially a full-time business. However, this business model is a double-edged sword. In fact, it can be dangerous. Specifically, dangerous to your credibility. The business model for creating and selling online courses is simple (as in straight-forward), but the execution is not as easy.
