Less is more
Contemporary e-learning courses adopt intelligent structures and techniques to ensure your learners receive the learning they need.
Gone are the days when the duration of an e-learning module was measured in hours, with all learners being ‘sheep-dipped’ through multiple screens of dense content of which only a fraction was required or relevant.
Contemporary e-learning courses are flexible, granular and progressive. Typically, they comprise a collection of standalone modules that rarely exceed around 20 minutes in duration. For some topics, courses can be even more granular, with microlearning modules of just one, two or three minutes in length adopting a range of modern media and fast-paced techniques to address a single learning objective per module.
Another key characteristic of this approach is scalability. A granular structure allows the addition of new modules, without having to rework existing content or disrupt the organic structure of the overall program.
Let's get personal
Modules can either be combined to create an end-to-end course for new starters, for example, or learners can ‘pick and mix’ to create their own learning pathway, depending on their personal needs.
Diagnostic assessments
If a more rigorous approach is required, we can design a diagnostic to measure pre-learning competence. Diagnostic assessments:
- Are useful for delivering a wide curriculum of content to a large and diverse target audience with varying needs, capabilities and experience
- Include a mix of profiling, confidence and capability questions
- Create a unique pathway for each learner, and can bring together all modalities of learning (e-learning, face-to-face, mentoring, etc.)
- Provide an opportunity to automate enrolments through integration with xAPI and learning platforms
Adaptive learning
Adaptive learning design takes personalisation to the next level. Content is designed in ‘layers’ and ‘served up’ according to the learner’s personal needs and requirements in terms of:
- Profiling criteria (job role, location, job task, etc.)
- Decisions or choices made within the learning itself
By adopting intelligent techniques like pre-learning diagnostics and adaptive learning content, you can save time spent on training and avoid the frustrations that learners feel when they’re asked to learn something they know already.
