The Potential of Rapid E-learning
Lower costs of production
Reduced development time
Increase speed of response to emerging needs
Provide more control to subject matter expert
Easier maintenance and updates
Helps internal teams say ‘yes’ more often
Rapid e-learning: perception and realities
Rapid e-learning is an excuse to not do design
Rapid e-learning just means ‘get an authoring tool’
Rapid e-learning just looks like powerpoint
Reality: Design is key to success, it’s more important in rapid
Reality: Rapid e-learning means a new look at the whole process
Reality: It is not about winning awards it is about getting the job done. But what does it look like?
What is Rapid E-learning?
Look at some examples
Problems of Traditional E-learning Development
“ Boring e-learning results from:
Using outdated processes that focus on content presentation, accuracy and comprehensiveness.
Processes that rely too much on up-front analysis.
Not providing stakeholders with an effective way of being involved.”
Michael Allen, Creating Successful E-learning
Traditional e-learning development Needs Analysis Design & Tech Specs Interface Design Scripts Build
The ‘Rolf Harris school’ of deliverables … have you guessed what it is yet? Script… Storyboard… Creative treatment… Design document… Project initiation document..
What is the Problem with this Approach?
“ specification documents and storyboards are ineffective ways of creating, communicating and evaluating design alternatives.”
“ Poor designs get pushed through the process and are not recognised until too late”
“ The need to redesign as better ideas are discovered is considered a fault (and one the client should pay for), rather than part of the process.”
Michael Allen, Creating Successful E-learning
Rapid e-learning
Think guided missile -
So what is Different about Rapid?
1. Different development process
2. Use of small multi-skilled teams
3. Use of templates and patterns for reusability
4. Use of web tools to keep content current
Rapid e-learning technique number 1: Change the development process
Traditional e-learning development Needs Analysis Design & Tech Specs Interface Design Scripts Build
New Approach Prototype Review Design
Prototypes
Are fun!
Shorten the process
Improve information sharing
Help people talk more constructively
Double checks assumptions
Lead to more creative designs
Everyone has a view on a prototype
Why fret when good ideas emerge late in the process? That’s a good thing…
Summary
Prototypes should take days not weeks
Communicate by example, replacing easily misinterpreted design documents
Are practical
Double-checks assumptions
Promote creativity
Communicate effectively
Involve all stakeholders
Rapid e-learning technique number 2: Small, multi-skilled teams
Traditional teams
Old factory approach
Consultant
Designer
Writer(s)
Developer(s)
Graphic artist
Tester
Larger teams mean:
More complex communication
Less commitment, more places to hide
New Teams
Multi-skilled core team
Learning designer/writer
Graphic designer/builder
Tester
Cuts down on communication overhead: writer/designer/builder often = same person
New tools enable build to be carried out without high level technical skills
Rapid e-learning technique 3: Use templates and patterns for re-use
Templates based on Patterns
Patterns
Reusable best practice interactions
Timeline, clickable tabs, graphics, branching scenarios, MCQ, process steps
Patterns can help ensure best practice learning interactions developed at speed
From Powerpoint Plugins to Server Based Tools
Rapid technique number 4: Use new tools to make change easy and keep your learning current
Dynamic Content
Things change!
Printed Book v Wikipedia
Old model - publishes courses, updates every 6 months or so
New model - RSS feeds update key content daily or whenever required
RSS Feeds
Learner Contribution
Use wikis, blogs, comments functions to enable learners to update, contribute and add value
Impact on the shape of elearning
Impact on E-learning Development
Design documents
2 to 6 month devt
Complex authoring tool
High production values
Delivered as courses
Broadcast
Directed learning
Learning outcome focused
Updated 6 monthly
Rapid prototyping
2 days to 3 weeks devt
Easy to use tools
Fit for purpose
Delivered as resources
Learner contribution
Self-directed learning
Performance focused
Updated daily
Real World Examples
“ For M&S the approach we’ve taken with Kineo on this project shows how you can deliver cost-effective high-quality e-learning speed, and reach a global audience to address key compliance requirements.”
“ Partnering with Kineo on rapid e-learning has helped us to deliver business critical needs that would not otherwise be possible through e-learning.
Kineo feels like part of our internal learning and development team. They’ve helped us transform what’s possible with e-learning in Cable & Wireless.”
“ With rapid e-learning I can say 'Yes' to customers I may have had to say 'No' to in the past due to the time, money and effort required to develop material in the traditional way.”
Summary
Rapid provides, fast, cost-effective
Solutions
1. Different development process
2. Use of small multi-skilled teams
3. Use of templates and patterns for reusability
4. Use of web tools to keep content current
