9 eLearning Design Best Practices

3 Ways Your eLearning Developer Can Improve Your Training Material

1. Convert existing training materials

Most organizations have Instructor Led Training programs in place. By hiring an instructional designer these courses can be transformed into highly engaging, interactive teaching tools using eLearning. Leveraging capabilities such as eye-catching graphics, interactive techniques, and even gamification will enhance instructional effectiveness, increase engagement and lead to greater retention of information.

It is not just existing training materials that can get a facelift with eLearning. Any content your company has produced is fair game. From instructional manuals, participant guides, and job aids to presentations and marketing brochures, they can all be part of a review.

 

 

2. Develop new eLearning materials

When developing a custom eLearning course from the ground up, you have the opportunity to take a step back and truly assess the needs of your organization. eLearning consultants can assist with this process – they will conduct a learning assessment and needs analysis, develop a design plan, and create storyboards and mock-ups for review by your internal subject matter experts. Once approved, they will produce the online learning program, and integrate it with your learning management system (LMS) or company intranet.

When hiring contract eLearning developers, be sure to select one with expertise in adult learning and your industry. That way, they can manage the product independently, minimizing the involvement of your internal learning and development team and enabling your people to stay focused on core activities.

Also, for custom eLearning content, choose developers and instructional designers with expertise in the most popular eLearning development tools, such as Articulate Storyline 360, Studio, Adobe Captivate, Creative Suite, and Lectora. It is also helpful if they have access to graphic designers proficient in animation, audio, graphics, and video editing. This will ensure your training materials get an outstanding virtual makeover that will engage your learners.

3. Maintain your eLearning programs

A benefit of eLearning many learning leaders appreciate is that once the programs are completed and published, they are available online and on-demand. But be careful when it comes to “set it and forget it”. Depending on the topic, training content can become dated rather quickly. On-boarding programs, safety policies, or leadership development training, for example, may not change very often but product upgrades, processes, and software programs with regular updates may need changing more frequently.

Don't Forget to Plan for a Successful Online Course Design

It seems like a logical progression - design your corporate training program, then develop it. But often, a good upfront corporate design plan – if it exists at all - is pushed aside as we rush to develop the course first. This results in the content being written and forced to fit into the course development schedule as opposed to the course development emerging from a good design plan.

Unfortunately, not taking the time to produce a good solid plan can often lead to costly delays and unfulfilled expectations - exactly what the client thought they were going to avoid.

Completing a training needs assessment and instructional design before starting the course development ensures that there will be fewer detours, backtracks, or sidetracks from the training project objectives. A sound design plan will serve as an effective road map as it will ensure that everyone is clear on the project right from the start.

Everyone - clients, instructional designers, training developers, project managers, and anyone else who might have a stake in the project, benefits when starting with a good course design plan:

• The purpose and final deliverables are clear to everyone from the start
• Getting it right in the course design plan means fewer do-overs during course development
• Approvals and feedback at this stage will avoid disappointment and perhaps failure at the end
