Description

One of the biggest reasons that eLearning fails is that it does not engage learners. Too much of what passes for eLearning these days is static, one-way, electronic content dumps. It is no wonder that eLearning course completion rates are so dismal.

This course will help you devise strategies to ensure that your organization’s eLearning efforts engage your eLearners by being, relevant, interesting, applicable, and based on active models of learning (i.e. learning-by-doing). You will learn how to build programs that allow learners to interact with content, instructors, and peers. As you are studying “good” eLearning, you will also be experiencing eLearning firsthand – using eLearning communication tools, participating in online activities, learning with online colleagues as part of a virtual team, and reflecting upon your own eLearning experiences. You will also gain hands-on experience in eLearning facilitation and will receive feedback from learning peers and the learner coach. This course focuses on what an eLearning manager needs to know about principles of good eLearning design and facilitation. In a manager’s role, you may not explicitly do the all of the tasks you’ll be studying in this course, but your ability to recognize the importance of and plan for the implementation of these principles is crucial to the success of an eLearning program in your organization.
