5. 1 Re-think your definition of “e-learning” REMEMBER the 80%-20% rule Focus more on the informal Place efforts on formal only where essential (compliance, regulatory training) “ Information, instruction, education, training, communication, collaboration and knowledge sharing” Tom Kelly, Cisco Systems, 2000
6. 2 Think about productivity / performance improvement / support as well as training Think JIT not JIC Think on-the-job Think on-demand, workflow-embedded solutions REMEMBER Learning is a means to an end; not the end itself It’s about improving the productivity and performance of individuals, teams and the business Measure success in these terms NOT course completions or test results
7. 3 Think PEOPLE not just CONTENT Help people to help themselves i.e. self-organise (= support a bottom up culture) Encourage people to: Communicate Collaborate Connect (Co-)Create Share
8. 4 When considering tools, think FOSS and Hosted FOSS = Free and/or Open Source Hosted = ASP, SaaS Cloud computing
