This document provides guidance on starting e-learning in a company without needing to develop custom content. It recommends e-learning be considered if the company has more than 50 employees, attrition over 10%, a geographically dispersed workforce, or customer-facing employees. E-learning can increase reach, speed, and effectiveness of learning while lowering costs. The document advises starting with conceptual, procedural, immediate, and repetitive topics like inductions and compliance training. Common mistakes to avoid include focusing on converting classroom to e-learning rather than just-in-time learning, creating overly complex multimedia modules that are hard to update, and buying an LMS with unnecessary features.

1. How to start E-Learning in your company
( without reinventing the wheel )

2. Why should you start E-learning?
Tick the appropriate boxes below
 If you have more than 50 employees
 If your attrition is more than 10%
 If your employees are spread across
geographically
 If bulk of your employees are customer facing
 If process/compliance is an important part of your
operating model
If you have ticked more than one box you should seriously think of E-learning

3. How does E-Learning make
a difference?
• Apart from the usual operational efficiency that
technology brings, E-Learning could:-
– Change the way your frontline force does sales and
service the customer
– Create a more aware and nimble-footed workforce in
relation to compliance issues
– Align the potential workforce to your history & culture even
before they join your organization
In short, a good E-Learning initiative will transform your talent by
exponentially increasing
reach, speed & effectiveness
of your learning initiatives,
while bringing down the cost.

4. Where do you start in E-learning?
• Ideally one should start in those topics which are
conceptual/procedural , immediate/ short term
and repetitive
– Repeating the same training to different audience like
Induction
– Compliance related training that needs evidence of
completion or certification
– Integral Processes that are frequently changed like
Product Features, Pricing Structures
One should ideally avoid intangible and long run topics like leadership/soft skills

5. Common Mistakes in E-Learning
that you can easily avoid !!!
Asking yourself “How do I convert my classroom training into E-
Learning?” instead of “ How do I create Just-In-Time Learning through
technology?”
Creating multimedia modules for every
training and later paying vendors to make
even small changes in them.
Creating a single ‘Magnum Opus’
multimedia module instead of multiple
smaller easy to complete modules
Buying an LMS with a plethora of
unwanted features which are hardly used
and which makes navigation difficult.

6. • Buy an LMS with simple intuitive interface containing only those features that you
cannot live without.
• Wiki Rules: Why Wikipedia is the biggest E-Learning website in the world
– Rule #1: Effectiveness of Learning Content depends on
• Chunking: Size of the learning bytes (Duration, Complexity etc)
• Timing: Delivering the content as the answer, when the learner is asking the question
– Rule #2: Use simple PPTs and Word documents that your team can easily edit or append.
Complex multimedia modules cannot substitute simple story telling.
• The attention span of the learner is directly proportional to the size of the screen.
Ideal content duration
– Mobile Content: 3-5 mins
– Web/ Laptop Content: 20-30 mins
– Content shown through Projector: 30-60 mins
• Assessment Driven Learning Strategy: Online Assessment is more effective than
Online Content Delivery. The focus should be on completion of assessments, like
CA Exams.
