Recently, an instructional designer friend of mine asked me, “Should Marketing review eLearning courses and approve them before they are released?” I responded with a, “Yes, but…” There are legitimate reasons Marketing needs to see the course before it goes out. However, content isn’t one of them. That’s right, I said it. I am a marketing person, I am not an instructional designer.

There is a lot of hype around creating and selling online courses today, and with good reason. Unlike any other time in history has it been so easy to set-up a business sharing your knowledge. All you need is a computer and a platform to sell, and you are ready to take orders. The problem is that being “ready” to take orders is not the same as actually getting orders.

As celebrated inspirational speaker, coach, and author Ben Gay III once said: “No amount of travel on the wrong road will bring you to the right destination.” The same can be said about instructional design and the development of eLearning content. Learning objectives are to instructional designers is the same as a map is to a traveler. With the proper learning objectives in place, designing a relevant, engaging and useful course becomes a lot easier.

The grass is always greener on the other side. No where does this saying ring more true than in the world of software. It seems that as soon as you sign-up for a software service your eye starts to wander and you begin second-guessing your decision. If you are like most people then you eventually realize that the software decision you made was made for a specific reason and you commit to your choice.

It’s a fact, some training efforts work and others fail. We’ve all been around the block a time or two and have participated and/or created our fair share of corporate training events. Some information sticks and others are forgotten about. Some events are cursed as a waste of time before participants even get out the door, knowing the time will never be recovered and it sucks.

“It is a capital mistake to theorize before one has data.” You’d think this quote was from a modern business strategist, but it’s actually Sherlock Holmes (aka Sir Arthur Conan Doyle) in the 1892 short story A Scandal in Bohemia. Nevertheless, this statement applies directly to today’s business world. Technology is helping organizations get smarter about how they collect data, use it to ask better questions and make more informed decisions.

When was your first experience with your current employer? Was it your first day of work? Was it when you applied for the job? I’d guess that, for most of us, our first experience occurred much earlier—perhaps even several years prior—but in a different context. While your relationship with the organization may have been quite different before you considered it as a potential employer, your onboarding actually began the moment you first learned about the company’s existence.

I was honored to learn that a respected professor of educational technology liked my definition of micro-learning, such that he presented it as a recent conference. He asked if I still agreed with it, and I looked back at what I’d written more recently. What I found was that I’d suggested some alternate interpretations, so I thought it worthwhile to be absolutely clear about it.

As instructional designers, we know the difference between presenting information and providing learning experiences. But we must often get the support of others for doing more, and that’s not always easy. Sometimes eyes glaze over as we attempt to explain all the steps necessary in creating effective instruction and getting adequate funding. So we want to be sure we aren’t making things more complicated than need be.

All that I did know was that I was sicker than I had ever been before or since.
