4. The Serious eLearning Manifesto
Gang of Four Serious eLearning
Manifesto – all a bit melodramatic?
Gang-of-four proclaim Serious
eLearning Manifesto. You can’t be
serious?
eLearning is not high politics, it’s an
evolving and fluid landscape with a
raft of wonderful tools used by almost
everyone on the web.
A ‘manifesto’ suggests something
new and radical, not a rehash of
ideas that have been around for
many, many years.
There was not a single idea here
that was new or even surprising.
5. The Serious eLearning Manifesto
The alternative view?
• 90% of organisations are using e-learning courses in conjunction with their LMS
systems -no sign of decline any time soon.
• 88% of learners say that they are really keen to be able to learn at their own pace.
• Number one barrier to engaging with online content is not time but uninspiring
content (reported by 35%).
• 2013-14 Towards Maturity Benchmark shows 69% of L&D professionals are
bringing e-learning development in-house but only half agree they have skills to
do it !
• We understand what we need to do but we are not doing it!
Constantly review how we design e-Learning

6. The Serious eLearning Manifesto
• Revisit Your Approach - Learning design theory needs to be
questioned / reviewed
• Look at the common issues in eLearning - Use of stock graphics
and animation, Inconsistent navigation, Music and sounds effects
• More Curation - Suitable not necessarily expensive content,
YouTube & MOOCs as learning tools
• Use Simulations for training & assessment
• Mobile Technology - As a post-learning tool
So what can we learn from this Manifesto?

Number of hours needed to develop 1 hour of e-Learning.
• Graphic and visual aids selection and editing –25 hours
• Storyboarding the course – 8 hours to completely storyboard 15 minutes of e-Learning.
• Building the course – between 30 minutes and 1.5 hours per page
• Audio capturing and editing – between 5-8 hours for 1 hour of training
• Video recording and editing – between 5-8 hours for 1 hour of training
• Assessments design and development – about 30 minutes per question.
These estimates would differ depending on the complexity of the e-Learning module

The Australian Government Information Management Office (AGIMO) has released
an online information collaboration tool for the Australian Public Service (APS) -
'GovShare’ - this new tool is an online repository of reusable resources for the APS
that aims to cut costs, boost efficiency and encourage collaboration and sharing.
GovShare offered several efficiency benefits for government including reducing cost
and effort through re-use of existing solutions across the APS; increasing collaboration
through sharing of resources, skills and knowledge across Agencies; and reducing risk
by providing access to well-established, robust resources that have been tried and
tested by other Agencies.

17. The Future of Online Learning in Government
• Demand / usage of OnLine learning is
increasing
• Online learning will need to be aligned
with organisation goals / outcomes
• Shift to more mobile learning, video
and smaller / modular learning
• Learning delivered to where employees
are working
• Vendors will provide selection of
delivery modalities to suit learner
preferences / organizational needs
• More on the shelf content to be
available in format to suit learners
eLearning, Mobile and Social
Learning are the future
18. Where To From Here?
• Continually review the design and delivery
of On Line Learning
• Continue to interact, showcase and share
• Tap into relevant forums:
- iLearn Net Meet
- APSC L&D GovDex site
• Join Twitter & LinkedIn, Webinars, Blogs
Editor's Notes
What I find odd is the idea that we all need to be told by a self-appointed group what’s best for the rest of us.
eLearning is not high politics, it’s an evolving and fluid landscape with a raft of wonderful tools used by almost everyone on the web: Google, Wikpedia, YouTube, Social Media etc.
A ‘manifesto’ suggests something new and radical, not a rehash of ideas that have been around for many, many years. There was not a single idea here that was new or even surprising. It was all a bit ‘is the Pope a Catholic’.
