Our world is rushing on-line. A barrage of 'e-products' and services is flooding the marketplace. Two years ago we didn't hear words like 'learning portals', 'learning management systems', or 'electronic performance support'. Today, managers may feel the imperative to go out and buy one of these e-products, just so they are not left behind! Relax …and think about your strategy.
DEVELOPING AN E-LEARNING STRATEGY MEANS ADDRESSING THE BASIC ISSUES OF 'WHO, WHAT, WHERE, & WHY'.
WHO IS THE TARGET POPULATION AND WHAT ARE THE PERFORMANCE OBJECTIVES?
-Are you trying to track, monitor and evaluate traditional classroom activities for all employees?
-Is the goal to re-engineer selection and staffing through e-recruiting?
-Are you trying to provide development and performance support for managers?
-Is the objective to offer distance learning curriculum as part of an executive development program?
-Is the goal to create an executive resource database that maps the talent pool of the company?
WHAT TYPE OF CONTENT SHOULD BE DELIVERED ON-LINE?
-Is technical training the only offer that goes on-line?
-How do you blend instructor led and on-line training?
-Should your build your own content or purchase from a third party vendor?
-Are 'learning portals' right for your organization?
WHY IS E-LEARNING A GOOD INVESTMENT?
-Does 'buy' or 'lease' make more economic sense?
-What is the ROI justification?
-How can you demonstrate that it is outcome based (achieves business goals) versus activity focused (the latest training fad)?
These questions are just a start. F&L Group, along with our alliance partner Meridian KSI can help you design the right e-learning architecture.
