Asking yourself “How do I convert my classroom training into E- Learning?” instead of “ How do I create Just-In-Time Learning through technology?” Creating multimedia modules for every training and later paying vendors to make even small changes in them. Creating a single ‘Magnum Opus’ multimedia module instead of multiple smaller easy to complete modules Buying an LMS with a plethora of unwanted features which are hardly used and which makes navigation difficult.
- 6. • Buy an LMS with simple intuitive interface containing only those features that you cannot live without. • Wiki Rules: Why Wikipedia is the biggest E-Learning website in the world – Rule #1: Effectiveness of Learning Content depends on • Chunking: Size of the learning bytes (Duration, Complexity etc) • Timing: Delivering the content as the answer, when the learner is asking the question – Rule #2: Use simple PPTs and Word documents that your team can easily edit or append. Complex multimedia modules cannot substitute simple story telling. • The attention span of the learner is directly proportional to the size of the screen. Ideal content duration – Mobile Content: 3-5 mins – Web/ Laptop Content: 20-30 mins – Content shown through Projector: 30-60 mins • Assessment Driven Learning Strategy: Online Assessment is more effective than Online Content Delivery. The focus should be on completion of assessments, like CA Exams. Thumb Rules of E-Learning
