Passive Learning

Most e learning courses purpose is to share information or change/improve job role performance.

However, most courses focuses on sharing information rather than performance improvements. This happens because most people focus on delivering content rather than on changing job role performance.

Passive Learning• Slabs of Text• Multiple Choice Questions• Few opportunities to apply knowledge• Poor demonstration of skills• No supporting resources• Fail to exploit nature of the web with

multimedia• Working sole, without access to other

learners.• No facilitation or group sessions online

Passive Learning• Slabs of Text• Reading is best done offline. • Many elearning courses require a

lot of reading. If most of your course is text-based, find a solution that best supports reading rather than building a course

Cathy Moore

•Don’t create a course unless it’s really necessary and useful.•Write activities in which a character faces a realistic challenge.•Put the information outside the course.•Use the course to show how to use the job aids.•Let the activities, not the content, drive the design.
