E-learning has been the most innovative and engaging way to deliver results in any organization. Enhancing induction and training process, e-learning has been revolutionary in driving away boredom and infusing new wave of expression. While revamping the current corporate learning solutions it is important to ask a few questions before initiating the change. Under what conditions the existing training program should be tweaked?
- The complexity of the existing training program that makes it difficult to comprehend
- The nature of the knowledge needed to be conveyed
- The audience’s profile
Many organizations grapple with the issue of developing content. The dilemma lies in whether the content should be developed in-house or outsourced. If you are a corporate behemoth then in-house content development should be the first choice. In case of a small sized organization, careful choice of vendor is a must otherwise the future phases would have dominoes effect. Online content development in case of outsourcing can be effect as it saves time and the customized solutions can be tailor-made as per the need of the organization.
Another major challenge lies in motivating the audience. Extra bit of training is often solicited as an unwanted additional burden. Thus, it is very important to make the learning process engaging and interactive and should be different from the daily rut.
The only thing that could possibly prompt the audience is the quality of content. If your content honors their intelligence, provides them relevant entertainment, and allows them learn with considerably low effort, you are halfway done over wining them.
At the end, how to measure the effectiveness of the content? Easiest way to do that is to compare the results of both classroom-based training and e-learning. Is the cost incurred worth the investment? Compare and conclude via same model/structure. Identifying these challenges and combating them is half the battle won. It is important to relate with your target audience as you are dealing with collective mindset.
