Why?
Why?
When I was considering becoming CEO of
easygenerator in 2010 I wanted to have a clear
Vision and Mission to base our product development and
marketing on.
Trends
Trends
I started looking at some trends to see what was
happening. My conclusion: Control is
shifting to the learner and we (e-learning
professionals) are having a difficult time catching
up.
Is there a future for formal e-Learning? Or is it something that will lose it’s relevance?
The big question
Is there a future for formal e-Learning? Or is it something that will lose it’s relevance?
The big question
So this became the central question. Is there a future for
formal e-learning? And if there is, what do we
need to do to make that future happen?
My assumption was that formal e-Learning could be still relevant, if we where able to:• Change the learning experience (more
individual)• Connect learning to the business• Bring didactics back into e-Learning, stop
with the PowerPoint like page progress• Increase the speed of course production and
the way we control that process
Yes if,

These challenges had a familiar sound, so…
I started looking for answers:–Management – Didactics– E-learning– Software development
The bundled answers form:Outcome learning

The search
‘Outcome learning’ is still developing. But for me it now forms a framework I can built
on.
The great thing is that everything I have used is
invented by somebody else. It is researched and proven. Al I
did was combine them and apply them to e-Learning
• In order to keep e-Learning relevant we need to change the way we:–Manage– Develop– Learn

The way our learners learn has changed. We need to adapt to this change by
adapting the way we manage and develop e-learning.
In this presentation I will look at this challenge from the
perspective of the manager, the e-Learning developer and
the learner.

Key elements are giving control to the learner, connecting learning to
the business and to make it possible to get meaningful reports on the results of our e-Learning courses.

Output management
When I followed a course in ‘change
management’ in 1998, Filip was one of my teachers. His book
became my ‘management bible’
and huis approach my management style.
• Set (business) goals• Determine output
criteria• Do not interfere with
the solution; accept any solution that matches your criteria

As a manager you have to be
authoritative on the strategic level, be in
control on the requirements (you do need acceptance) but you don’t mingle in
the ‘how’

the solution; accept any solution that matches your criteria

The conflict pyramid indicates that the
biggest chances for conflicts are at the
operational level. So stay away.
Let the experts do their work, just steer
with your requirements

It came to me that this would work for
managing e-learning processes as well, as
long as we would have proper requirements.
• Define a business goal, that solves a problem
• Identify what people need to be able to do = learning objectives
• Set other criteria and let go

Action mapping ties learning to the business, learning objectives are a
mean to steer by and get reported on.
Together the form the ultimate ‘learning’ requirement for a
manager
• Action mapping combined with learning objectives
• Use new learning metaphors• Develop in an agile way• Curate and moderate information

The biggest changes are for the developer: we need to create
more attractive, individual learning experiences in a faster way. And we need to assist the learner to navigate through the ever increasing information flow
at the same time.
• Business goals translated into learning objectives
• Translate objectives into activities• Choose didactical and presentation
format• Supply information that is needed for
these activities

The combination of action mapping and
learning objectives gives a clear direction to
development without any interference by the
manager.
• Gives the learner a complete overview = control
• Enables the learner to create his own learning path
• Non linear representation of a didactic format
• Intuitive design and easy to use

In order to give the learner insight and
control we need new learning metaphors.
Maps, scenario’s, serious games are all
examples of this.

possible learning paths and access to all kind of
information.

more abstract it will give a clearer overview.

At easygenerator we develop our software in an agile way. It has great advantages above a ‘waterfall model’. It connects development to your (internal or external) client, it improves quality and it speeds up the
process.
We can apply this to e-Learning as well.

The developer
With the increasing amount of information it is almost
impossible to find relevant information through search
engines. There are more and more content curators (people).
Elearninglearning is one for the elearning community. They will
find relevant information for you.

Having the information filtered for you is just step one.
Analyzing and presenting it in a way that enables learning is a second. This moderation role becomes more and more the
territory of the e-Learning developer.

metaphors• Instant connection and collaboration

A large part of our learners have already changed. All we
need to do is to facilitate them in a better way. Most of the needed elements are in the
‘Outcome learning’ approach. The biggest problem at the
moment is the connection and collaboration in a course,
SCORM does not really allows that. We need a new standard.

Formal e-learning will remain relevant, just as all forms of formal learning will.But we need to change the way we manage and develop formal e-Learning in order to make this happen.
