Good tools don’t make a good designer “ If someone’s created bad e-learning, don’t point the finger at the tool, point the finger at the person who created that bad e-learning.” Tom Kuhlmann, Articulate

Good tools don’t make a good designer “ Does giving someone a paint brush make them an artist? Does giving someone an authoring tool make them an instructional designer?” Me ;-)

Q. What can we learn from the US?

US research (Forester, 2009)
24% of corporate learning is rapid
25% use rapid instead of outsourcing e-learning development
Use more rapid than custom e-learning
Changing how content is developed and consumed
Enabling higher volumes of learning content creation
Shorter modules (easier to fit in, more completions)
Filling a gap
Becoming more sophisticated
Not limited to routine content
Changing the role of the instructional designer
Growing…
Ease Speed Cost saving

Q. Where is rapid heading?

Disposable e-learning How long do you expect your material to be relevant? 3 years? 1 year? 6 months? Is it relevant at all?

Open source software

Moodle – Open Source LMS

Push vs. pull content Users should be able to access (pull) content and learning in lots of different ways. But we also see content as organic – growing with its users and keeping itself up-to-date. Users push content by creating , rating and recommending it.

How can users find and pull information? tag clouds my coach my learning programme what’s hot? community latest discussions, blogs and twitters recommendations you might also like… my favourites search engine news feeds

How do users push and generate content? I love this resource. I’ll tell others and I give it 5 stars. This is a great resource. I’ll tag it so others can use it Community member Manager what’s hot? tag cloud search engine Team member I’ve made a discovery! I’ll share it with my team news update discussion Learning manager This maps to these peoples’ performance objectives my learning programme

In summary
Rapid is… doing it yourself, a tool, a process, a way of thinking
We need good design skills as well as tools
Focus on short modules
Content is becoming more disposable
Open source creates new opportunities
Informal, social learning can be facilitated online
Learners can push as well as pull learning
Ease of creation, speed and cost savings are key drivers
Rapid seems here to stay
