The document discusses various methods for developing e-learning content and delivery, including developing bespoke content, purchasing generic content, and using informal learning resources. It also discusses passive vs. active learning approaches and recommends engaging learners through activities rather than just presenting content. Rapid e-learning tools that allow flexible, quick content development without programming are also mentioned. The document provides tips for integrating different media like audio, pictures, video and using activities to drive instructional design rather than just presenting content.

2. Content Methods Developing/Buying bespoke content (rapid tools) Development/Purchase of bespoke content (non rapid) Purchase of generic content Informal learning content (e-books, web resources, search tools) Formal collaboration tools between learner and tutor such as web conferences, Virtual Learning Environments, video conferencing, Informal collaboration tools such as chat, wikis, and blogs. http://www.towardsmaturity.org/article/2010/03/12/towards-maturity-impact-indicator-looks-e-learning/

3. Passive Learning Most e learning courses purpose is to share information or change/improve job role performance. However, most courses focuses on sharing information rather than performance improvements. This happens because most people focus on delivering content rather than on changing job role performance.

4. Passive Learning Slabs of Text Multiple Choice Questions Few opportunities to apply knowledge Poor demonstration of skills Inadequate follow up with face to face assessment/further training High drop out rate/low engagement

5. Passive Learning Slabs of Text Reading is best done offline. Many elearning courses require a lot of reading. If most of your course is text-based, find a solution that best supports reading rather than building a course

6. Cathy Moore Don’t create a course unless it’s really necessary and useful. Write activities in which a character faces a realistic challenge. Put the information outside the course. Use the course to show how to use the job aids. Let the activities, not the content, drive the design. http://blog.cathy-moore.com/2010/05/how-to-design-elearning-thats-memorable-and-budget-friendly/

7. All shapes n sizes

8. Cater for them! -Reduce reliance on text (Audio, Visuals, Video) -Use multimedia -Engage learner to think through learning activities) -Put back industry knowledge -Be active online (network! Play! Ask! Share!)

11. Pull not Push

12. How? Well designed case studies or scenarios can create a need for the learners to pull the information Present some simple questions or problem-solving activities that require a solution.

13. Rapid e Learning Flexible delivery content that can be developed quickly without experts using purpose built software http://www.readygo.com/web02/01web02g.htm#characteristics

14. Rapid e Learning Short learning curve Navigation built in Instructional design encouraged through tools structure and visual queues Does not require any programming knowledge Advanced features such as creating links, tests, glossary, FAQ, drill down pages are built-in. Does not require any advanced skills, programming, or HTML knowledge Easy to import Multimedia

15. Industry Knowledge Complimenting E Learning approaches to ensure learners have access to industry knowledge sharing and building Discussions Guest Presenters Audio Recordings/Podcasts Group projects and presentations Video Demonstrations Using a Virtual Classroom Problem Solving
