What is eLearning and training?
It’s not new – it’s as old as the internet. It includes engaging videos and flexible websites.
Many companies haven’t even thought of this possibility! Instead of having a trainer come in or having the HR manager do the training, eLearning can benefit companies. Some
- Incentvies
- Rewards
- Gamification
Are there any industries that would benefit more from eLearning?
- Software companies
- Medical training companies (brainynurses.com is an example)
- Non-profit
Styles or formats for eLearning
How you present your material may be determined by your budget.
It may also depend on your audience – what works for them?
- Filming a presenter
- Power point slides
- Quizes and Tests
- Webinars
- Story-driven/scenario
First steps for eLearning preparation
- What do you want to deliver?
- What do you want the person to take away?
- What are the three or so points to facilitate that?
Keep it simple!
Do your research – make sure you’re creating what your client needs!
