An elearning journey from conception to delivery Dr Sally Walsh, Training Analyst, R&D IT GSK
Today’s journey • Initial analysis and stakeholder engagement • Developing an effective design and delivery plan • Choosing the right elearning tool • Using video and podcasts • Learning Management System or not? • Establishing ongoing support and maintenance schedule
Introduction • Training Analyst • Work with project groups to ensure that a training plan is developed for the launch of new initiatives • Creating Blended learning solutions • Work in team of 10 trainers supporting IT for and R&D organisation of 14,000. Supporting Strategic projects by providing training consultancy
I think we need some elearning for this project! How do we get there?
Training needs analysis • Questionnaire with Project Groups • Who is the training for? • What strategic objective does this training meet? • How many people need this training? • Where are the users located? • Who are the Subject Matter Experts? • What is the budget? • How will you measure the success of this training?
Analysis – So when is elearning part of the right solution? • Audience of sufficient size to warrant investment (>50) • Audience diversely spread • Content is stable and limited changes proposed in the future (>6 months) • Users of the elearning have access to the tools to complete elearning • Supports ongoing training beyond an initial rollout
What do we mean by elearning? • Any learning material made available electronically • Elearning modules • Mandatory Read & Understand modules (SOPS etc) • How to videos • Quick Guides
Who needs to be involved in the creation of the elearning – Who’s the team? Who are the Subject Matter Experts to provide content? Who needs to review the modules? Who needs to approve and sign off module?
Project planning • Setting realistic time bound plan • Break process into distinct stages
Reviewing elearning • Set review deadlines • Collate comments and review all with team in a specific time limited workshop • All comments finalised by end of session • Don’t start building until scripts are all signed off
Can you do it – Buy or Build? • Define what your own internal elearning capabilities are
Keeping costs down • Create your own elearning – great tools out there • Video – record your own – FLIP cameras • Podcasts – make your own – Free audio editing software Audacity • 80 20 rule – does it need to be perfect what is it being used for?
Learning Management systems • Do you need to host in a LMS?
Maintaining elearning • Monitor use of elearning • Ensure scripts and elearning files archived • Set review dates to ensure material is current • Retire any elearning when not needed
Keep up to day with emerging elearning technologies • Kineo (www.kineo.com) • Keeping up with blogs e.g The Rapid elearning blog • Associations e.g. eLearning Guild
