There are different ways
to present eLearning. You can simplify your course creation
process by identifying up front the best way to present your
material.
Different tools are needed
to create Traditional eLearning, Rapid eLearning, and Synchronous
eLearning.
| 1. |
Traditional eLearning tools: |
| |
a. |
Traditional
eLearning developers use "Power User" tools. These tools
are designed for graphics artist, web designers, programmers,
and instructional design experts. |
| |
b. |
It typically takes
weeks if not months to learn how to proficiently use these
tools. |
| 2. |
Rapid eLearning tools: |
| |
a. |
Rapid eLearning
developers, typically SME's, need tools that produce interesting
multi level courses but do not require a graphic or design
background. |
| |
b. |
Since most SME's
are not producing content full time the tool needs to
be as easy to use as Power Point. |
| 3. |
Synchronous eLearning tools: |
| |
a. |
To successfully
host a Synchronous eLearning session you need at a minimum
a conference line and a shared presentation either at
a web site or using a conference tool like WebEx or Breeze.
|
| |
b. |
Synchronous eLearning
sessions are similar to classroom training. Since the
material does not need to stand on it's own a presentation
tool like Power Point is used. |
