How to turn Face-to-Face training into Elearning • Transform courseware • Record audio-video • Edit, re-package with slides into multimedia • Redesign assignments: on the job style • Upload • Set up system • Hosting, PCs, printer, connections, LMS, LCMS, virtual classroom software • Provided as in-kind by TOPICA • Promote to people • Sign up trainees • Train them on how to use system • Operation • Online trainers • Course managers • Support counsellors: remind on submissions, quizzes, postings, live sessions, tech difficulties, top lists, class spirit etc. • Validation • Verify if people meet criteria • Issue certificates
Lessons drawn Advantages • Low variable cost ($200-300/person) • More scalable • Flexible timing: when to start course, when to join, when to take each lesson, when to submit assignments • On-the-job style: more time to practice, reflect then prepare submissions • Cumulative learning: discussions automatically recorded, searchable Disadvantages, issues • Not as good quality as F2F • Less interaction, personal touch • People lose interest, drop out • Live chat sessions still have technical difficulties (wiziq, paltalk, skype…) • Language barriers Lessons drawn • Combine Elearning with a F2F “kick-off” at conferences • People who attend F2F: learn more on top of F2F sessions • People who cannot attend: learn something rather than nothing • Useful as catalyst for other online discussions • Role and skills of support counsellors very important
