THINKING ABOUT USING E-LEARNING

The content may change readily or frequently (one or more times per year).

The content is mostly knowledge / information or awareness-oriented. Does not require learning a skill (Learner must KNOW something).

The intended total audience size is larger than 150 learners.

The total number of locations of the learners is more than five.

The audience has good internet access.

The course will be used multiple times.

Course completion tracking is required or important.

WHAT IS ELEARNING?

• eLearning is the use of technology to provide learning content anywhere, anytime…

• Predominately internet based

• Can be Asynchronous or Live On-line training

• Future of all corporate, government, and educational institution learning

• It is here today….

LEARNING MODELS WILL BEGIN TO CHANGE

“Industrial age” learning model vs. “Digital age” learning model

• How do people learn in a digital model?

• Is eLearning effective?

• Are learners ready for eLearning?

• What models will be needed?
