“It was too much all at once. I was overwhelmed.” That’s not something you want to see in the feedback for your association’s eLearning. Luckily, there are ways to make eLearning more digestible, regardless of the subject matter. Managing content density is the key. What is Density?

How do you track revision comments in your e-learning or online courses? Most of the time, I use a spreadsheet based on the revision tracking template below. My spreadsheet includes a formula to automatically add the page title once reviewers enter the module and page number. That makes it easier for reviewers. However, if I don’t have visible page numbers (either directly on the slide or in a table of contents), I remove the formula and ask reviewers to type the page title or description.

Formal training continues to take up too much of organizational resources. Formal, event-based training (courses, workshops, seminars, MOOCs) has a place in corporate learning but only a small place and only for employee learning that can’t be achieved in other, more timely, less costly, and more effective ways. This is because formal training (referred to as " push " learning), regardless of how well it is delivered to employees, is limited in its impact: Learning is not retained.

Corporations should be watching closely to see if new methods of delivering training result in a dramatic increase in retention among employees once they’re on the job--because if Kohn is right, even a whopping 400% increase in retention will mean that after just one week, it means the average employee is retaining only about half of the information presented in training.

All of us have a competitive streak. Participating in a contest or a challenge to find out an innovative solution is something that inspires individuals. In a business scenario too, such an initiative acts not only as a great motivator but it also speaks volumes about the personality of an individual, who decides to jump into the fray! Sometimes, an exercise to compete when one finds the ‘deadlock’ situation throws up profound knowledge that is beyond one’s imagination.

For as long as elearning has been around there is often a negative stereotype that instructional designers. In my opinion, the behavior that results from this stereotype leads to the biggest challenges in the field.

If we’re talking about beginning to use IT in alignment with how we think, work, and learn, a question arises about who should be in the lead? It could be HR, it could be L&D, it could be IT, or it could even be the business units that are taking advantage of the opportunity. What makes sense? In one sense, it’s about using IT well, and that theoretically is IT’s job.

But, in addition to beauty and wisdom, there was a lesson for me, too.
