Rapid eLearning development helps Instructional designers and SMEs to complete the course design without having to depend on software programmers. Here is the presentation on "Rapid eLearning Development".

2. What is Rapid eLearning Development?

3. Rapid eLearning development refers to the creation
of eLearning courses using rapid authoring tools
that help to transform content into instructionally
sound learning material within a short duration

4. Benefits of Rapid eLearning Development with
Reference to Instructional Design

5. Develop eLearning within a short period of time

6. No programming knowledge or mastery of
complex tools required

7. Gives you a jumpstart with
readymade interface and
navigation elements

8. Enables easy update of
content when required

9. Instructional Design Strategies for Rapid
eLearning Development

10. Create templates with basic elements so that
they can be re-used for subsequent courses

11. Templates can be created for
• Project Plan
• Storyboard
• Page Layout

12. 1. Project plan template: A project plan template
includes details of the project process,
deliverables, team responsibilities and important
timelines

13. 2. Storyboard template: You can use either MS word or
PowerPoint to create storyboard templates. It should
typically contain screen data such as the unit name with
number, screen title with number and the type
of the screen

14. 3. Page layout template: It provides an easy reference
point which can be customized and developed for
each course. This significantly reduces the
development time

15. Have a basic course structure

16. Choose an authoring tool based on content

17. Best Practices in Design for Rapid
eLearning Development

18. Develop a skeletal version of design

19. Let the learning objectives decide the tool

20. Design multiple templates

21. Create learning activities and
not instruction

22. Design can depend on deployment or implementation

23. Checklist for Rapid eLearning
Development – 7 C’s

24. Course objectives: Before
designing the course, you
need to determine the
course objectives

25. Content of the course: Once you know the course
objective , you need to collate and analyze the
course content

26. Characteristics of learners: At the same time you also
need to understand learner’s profile

27. Context of learning: Context in which the learning has
been initiated is another important factor to be
considered by an eLearning development expert

28. Create the course: Choose an authoring tool
that is best for the content and context

29. Check to see if it meets learning objective: Seek
feedback about the course from key stakeholders to
ensure it meets the purpose

30. Circulate: Once the course receives final approval,
it can be sent for deployment either by hosting
on the LMS or through the company’s portals

31. Review the 7 C’s
• Course objectives
• Content of the course
• Characteristics of learners
• Context of learning
• Create the course
• Check to see if it meets learning objectives
• Circulate

32. Conclusion

33. Rapid authoring tools make development of
courses easy without the dependence on technical
competence of programmers
