Transcript of The roots of a great digital learning project
We will discuss …
• different approaches to getting started with digital learning
• figuring out your learning technology requirements• common stages of digital learning design and
development projects• common pitfalls of digital learning projects
Why digital learning, not eLearning
Digital learning is a more holistic term that takes in social learning, performance supports and blended approaches.
Benefits of digital learning
Increased flexibility Increased effectiveness Decreased cost

70:20:1070% occurs as people engage in informal learning processes such as watching others, participating in workplace routines and undertaking challenging tasks.
20% arises from mentoring and coaching (mostly from a manager or supervisor).
10% is the result of formal courses and reading.

What does great digital learning look like?
Serious eLearning manifesto - http://elearningmanifesto.org
Performance Focus Not focus on awareness. Focus on changed behaviour.
Meaningful to Learners Relates to what learners do with their jobs
Engagement-driven Built around activities and what learner needs to do. It’s not around what they need to know.
Authentic Contexts Built around scenarios and stories
Realistic Decisions Activities reflect the choices and decisions an employee needs to make
Individualised Challenges
Challenge assessment at the start and then scenarios focus on the learner’s weaknesses
Spaced Practice Broken into smaller sections and happens over time
Real-world Consequences
The feedback on activities creates changes to the scenario
What does great digital learning look like?
3 ways to start in digital learning
Buy access to a content library
Build your own programs
Commission programs to be built for you
Open SesameLynda.comSkilsoft
Doesn’t work financially if you are a training provider
Generally works better if you currently do in-house training
Customised to your organisational needs
Moderate quality Quality digital learning is harder to build than you would expect
You would expect the quality to be higher
Moderate cost Low cost Higher cost
I want increase the flexibility of internal training programs and
improve learning transfer.
Meet Max our Learning and Development Manager
What is your advice to Max?
Build his own course
Get a custom course made Buy an existing course off the shelf
Get started with something simple. Don’t start with your
induction programs.
Meet Rebecca our Digital Learning Consultant
Max has decided to start with a small pilot that focuses on
report writing.
He needs to able to track who has completed the program so he decides he needs an LMS.
How about Moodle it’s free ... the price sounds right.
You pay for what you get. Totara is a version of Moodle
designed for workplace learning.
Where to do I start with building the course?
This sounds like you are going to need a blend. Maybe a course that shows some
examples and virtual classrooms that allows
learners to review each other reports.
I’m going to ask lots of questions and then design
some the storyboards
Meet Angela the Instructional Designer for the program
The storyboards are the plan for the resource.
Sometimes they are Word documents, sometimes they
more visual
Who are the learners?
What do they need to do?
Do you have great report writer I could interview? Maybe we could use the
interview as a video in the resource?
I’m getting started by doing some quick mood boards of different visual approaches.
Meet Troy the Visual Designer for the program
Thanks, Troy, the 1st mood board should work well for our
learners.
Now I’m using some of the material that Angela has been working on to mockup how it
works.
Ok, the instructional approach we going to use is a series of examples where an expert
talks about a report.
Over time the learner starts completing sections of the
report.
That sounds great.
Max, the storyboard is ready for you to review.
The storyboard defines what is going to be built. Try and make
sure the content is correct.
Everyone that is going to be reviewing the content needs to
check the storyboard.
I’m so pleased Max doesn’t want this authored in Totara.
It means I can make some engaging interactions.
The module is going to made as a SCORM object and uploaded to the LMS
SCORM stands for (Sharable Content Object Reference
Model)
Basically it’s a way to bundle up files so that the LMS can read them. Also it controls how the learning module
sends information to the LMS
We use a mixture of authoring tools.
The main three tools we use are• Storyline • Captivate• and our own custom tool
Now that the storyboard is reviewed and the build is
underway, we can start adding more details about the virtual
classroom sessions.
What virtual classroom tool should I use?
The most common 3 are
GoToMeeting WebEx Adobe Connect
They all have much the same features at the same price
The module is now ready to reviewed.
To really make sure the program is a success Max needs to make sure the virtual classroom sessions help learners to practice their skills.
What goes wrong
Change is the killer of projects
What goes wrong• Getting the technology in place is more complex than you
expect• It takes more Subject Matter Expert time than you expect • The wrong people are involved in the design and review
of the program• The focus is on content not behavioural change • The programs are not marketed to the learners • The learners are not supported do the learning, this
could be technical and/or manager support
Please stay in contact and keep the conversation going
Thank you for your participation!
