    Creating Online Learning Courses for Businesses - Presentation Transcript

    1. Creating Online Learning Courses for Businesses By Jim Bandy President and Co-founder Brainband Technology Services
    2. Why use online learning in your business?
    3. Streamline the training process
      • Ideal for large or spread out workforce
      • Control over quality of instructors and consistency of message delivery
      • Administration centralization
    4. Virtual reality capabilities
      • Some things are hard to do in a class
      • Avoid high liability situations
      • Interactive training scenarios increase content retention
    5. Cut costs, not benefits
      • Save money on employee training expenses (travel, instructors, paper)
      • Increase employee retention and productivity with effective training and continuing education
    6. Facts
      • +ROI
      • In an April 2009 survey of e-Learning Guild members, 48% reported a positive return on investment (ROI) from e-Learning, while only 5% reported no return or a negative ROI.
      • 50% reported an ROI greater than 15%.
    7. Facts
      • From a Sept. 2008 survey, 70.1% of survey respondents plan to apply more e-Learning 2.0 approaches to their learning endeavors.
      • 66% of survey respondents believe that younger workers will demand e-Learning 2.0 approaches to performance support.
      • Growth & Demand
    8. The Course Creation Process…
    9. Getting Started…
      • Work with a course developer, not a Web designer
        • Effective e-Learning courses need the same care and expertise put into the educational aspects as the design elements.
        • Skilled developers build courses that carefully align to students’ needs and learning goals.
        • Course content must be engaging and presented in the proper sequence to maximize a learner’s memory retention.
    10. 1) Establish your idea
      • What is the learning objective of your course?
      • What do you want participants to achieve by completing the e-Learning course?
    11. 2) Refine your ideas
      • Work with a subject matter expert (SME) to determine what the course needs to do.
      • Make a prioritized list of key learning points to determine the amount and detail of course information.
      • The SME will insure the accuracy and sufficiency of the information you deliver.
    12. 3) Decide if the course needs an administration function
      • If you do not need any formal records of your participants’ training, you do not need an admin function.
      • You will need a learning management system (LMS) or course management system (CSM) if you need a way to…
    13. LMS or CMS capabilities
        • manage learners and track their progress across all types of course activities
        • enroll students
        • handle grades
        • deliver test or quiz material
        • offer two-way communication between the instructor and the student
        • upload study resources
        • keep records and transcripts of content and student-instructor interaction
    14. 4) Work with an instructional designer
      • This will ensure information is presented in an interesting and successful manner using the established learning principles.
      • The designer determines how the knowledge is presented and reinforced through interactive activities, exercises and quizzes.
    15. 5) Course production
      • A production team works with the course designer to determine needed illustrations, animation, audio, video, interactive media or Web 2.0 virtual reality components.
      • Specialists design the graphics and create the needed media to integrate into each section.
      • The course is made deliverable through the intended target media (local network, CD or DVD, or Internet).
      • The production team handles quality control of the course.
    16. 6) Course Delivery - Final Stage
      • If an LMS or CMS is utilized, the course is installed within the chosen system.
      • The course is made available to the intended participants through the previously selected media.
    17. Tips
      • A good course development company can assist you in every step of this process.
      • Steps 1 & 2 can be completed in-house to reduce cost and production time.
        • Keep in mind if the course is for your business or department, you may be the subject matter expert. If you are able to go to a course development firm with your ideas already lined out, a large portion of the work is already finished.
