7 Fundamentals of Effective eLearning

Program Description:

E-learning is increasingly becoming the ‘go-to’ solution for learning and development as companies look to decrease costs and reach out to an expanding, global workforce. It has also skyrocketed to the forefront of organizational needs with the challenges that have recently been presented with working in a COVID-19 world. The problem is that most of the e-learning that is out there is poorly designed, and quite honestly, boring! Common missteps in approaches and techniques have learners simply clicking ‘next’ to get to the end of the training as quickly as possible.

Addressing this dilemma is what inspired us to create “The 7 Fundamentals of Effective E-Learning.”

Based on our combined years of experience in the industry and drawing references from an award-winning compliance course, this session will present you with the key elements to include in your next e-learning module to make it more engaging, impactful, and fun!

ATD Capability Model:

Developing Personal Capability: Lifelong Learning 

Developing Professional Capability: Instructional Design   

Impacting Organizational Capability: Performance Improvement, Future Readiness

Learning Objectives:

After participating in this workshop, participants will be able to:

• Describe how to capture and keep your learner’s attention throughout the instructional event.
• Recognize the importance of storyboarding in purposeful e-learning design.
• Identify how to implement learner autonomy and decision making in your course.
• Identify impactful approaches for learners to apply what they are learning.
• Explain why it is necessary to support your learners upon completion of their training.

Brian and Kimberly have delivered this workshop to several ATD chapters, both live and virtually. Kimberly has also spoken at national learning conferences, and Brian has been published in TD Magazine. The course that we reference throughout the sessions won a DevLearn/DemoFest award through eLearning Guild.
