When you’re nearing the end of development for an eLearning course, it’s easy to want to rush through the final review and quality assurance (QA) cycles in an effort to get it published ASAP. Trust me, I’ve been there more times than I can count! However, if I’ve learned anything during my time developing eLearning content, it’s that rushing usually results in sloppy work.

If You Must do More with Less, Efficiency is the Key to Success. The operations of L&D are complex and require the integration of several moving parts. While other departments can streamline efficiency with software and machines, the L&D department is in the “people” business, which leads to highly manual processes. That isn’t to say there haven’t been innovations in technology to simplify these processes (Learning Management Systems, Training Management Systems, etc.), certain process

When starting a new eLearning project, it’s easy to jump right in and start designing the course. However, it’s important to take a step back and determine what exactly your eLearning course is attempting to accomplish; or better yet, whether or not an eLearning course is needed at all! This is where an eLearning needs analysis comes into play. While conducting an eLearning needs analysis might seem like some arduous process, it’s actually pretty straightforward.

If you’ve ever created an eLearning course, you’ve experienced the challenge of chasing down your SMEs to get their feedback. All too often, SMEs will promise to get you their feedback in a timeline manner, and all too often, they break that promise. In my experience, I’ve found that most SMEs underestimate their level of involvement in the development of an eLearning course.

In honor of Halloween, I wanted to discuss a scary scenario. When the education department at your organization is you, it’s easy to let old content linger beyond its welcome. When you discover that your training materials or courses need upgrading, it can seem like you must start from scratch. But with what time and resources? The horror! Before you lay that old content to rest, consider sprucing it up a bit first.

In the learning space, lots of companies develop custom elearning with a vendor to get the job done. There's a reason why so many companies outsource custom elearning development work to third parties or freelancers rather than hiring a whole internal department to handle one-off projects or areas outside the core team’s specialty. And, in general, working with a vendor can be a great experience.

Unfortunately not all courses succeed at meeting this outcome.
