'While each elearning project is unique in its own right, there are still a handful of shared characteristics no matter what the topic or who the audience. If you are developing elearning courses, over time you start to pick up on these patterns. In fact, with enough practice, much of this becomes second nature. Still, it can be helpful to create a checklist so that you are always sure that your courses take into consideration the components that span across all projects.

Most companies have a metaphorical onion of jargon, policies, procedures, and culture mores, and it can take weeks or even months for new employees to feel comfortable and be productive. Large organizations have a dedicated HR department that updates the policies and procedures these employees need to know… and there are probably quite a few of them.
