Presentation Transcript

  1. What is eLearning?Dispelling popular misconceptions

  2. Is this eLearning? Level 0

  3. Is this eLearning? Level 1

  4. Some views about level 0 and level 1 eLearning There is so much information to remember. The textual content is intimidating! How can we remember so much? It is difficult to keep up ourconcentration levels throughout the course. I wish I could do more than just "Click Next.”

  5. Some views about level 0 and level 1 eLearning? I have to complete the course in one sitting. I wish I could complete the course at my own pace! The presentations have too much text with only audio. I wish data and information are represented visually through images or animations!

  6. What do learners ask for? • Easy and understandable content • Interactive participation • Control over course navigation • Graphics, animations and visuals

  7. What are they getting? • Heavy textual content • Too much audio narration • No interactivities • Course with time restrictions • No rich visual experience

  8. Why this disconnect? PPTs cannot function as stand-alone learning material. They contain only a fraction of the knowledge shared by SMEs during classroom interactions. Learning experts with inputs from SMEs can create instructionally sound eLearning courses.

  9. Who are learning experts? Visual Designers • Instructional Designers • Course Developers

  10. Role of Learning Experts in eLearning Learning experts create eLearning courses keeping in mind: • How adults learn • The learning process they follow • Their different learning styles • Content types

  11. How do adults learn? • Need to understand • Need more control and flexibility in training • how the learning • benefits them • Guided by extrinsic and intrinsic motivation • Autonomous and • self-directed • Bring knowledge and experience • to learning activity • Motivated by a clear need for learning • Information • Prefer activities that required application of the knowledge gained • must be filtered • and tailored • specifically to cater to the learner’s need You need to keep these facts in mind when developing eLearning courses

  12. Adult Learning Process You need to understand the LEARNING PROCESS to create eLearning courses that improve performance of learners

  13. Learning Styles or Preferences Adults have different learning styles. Visual Learning Learn through seeing Auditory Learning Learn through listening Kinesthetic learning Learn through, moving, doing and touching Courses have to be balanced to have ideal Visual, Audio and Interactive elements

  14. Content Types

  15. Content Types - Facts Facts: A fact is a unique, one-of-a-kind type of information. The recommended ways of displaying factual information are:

  16. Content Types - Concepts Concepts: These are mental representations or prototypes of objects or ideas. Definitions, examples, non-examples and analogies are the best ways of teaching concepts.

  17. Content Types - Processes Processes: Processes may be defined as descriptions of how things work. Process tables and flow diagrams help us understand processes.

  18. Content Types - Procedure Procedure: This describes how (the steps involved) the activities of a process are to be performed. Demonstrations in the form of simulations or animations are ideal methods of teaching procedures.

  19. Content Types - Principle Principle: This is a cause and effect relationship that results in a predictable outcome. Principles are best explained with the help of representational visuals or animations. • Principles of Interviewing

  20. Ideal eLearning Solution: Level 2 Courses need to be designed keeping in mind adult learning principles,the learning process and differentlearning styles of learners.

  21. Ideal eLearning Solution: Level 2 Some examples of level 2eLearning courses

  22. Some Examples of Level 2 eLearning Courses Course content In the course content, relevant icons were used for easy understanding Screenshot from the course showing the usage of icons

  23. Some Examples of Level 2 eLearning Courses Course content In the course, the software was demonstrated using simulations Screenshot from the course showing simulation

  24. Summary The objective of eLearning is to HELP the audience learn. It is NOT just a means of communication SME expertise + Learning expertise = eLearning Level 2 eLearning provides effective learning and better ROI
