  20. Part-III Preliminary lessons learned

  21. Preliminary lessons learned • High demand on project mgt skills • Frequent communication with vendor critical • Initial investment high, per participant cost low • Learning approaches: Expectation differences proved costly • Available content not conversion friendly • Long design & development period

  22. Preliminary lessons learned • Pilot testing CBT with ‘reference group’ useful • Better if adopted also for LMS & WBT testing • Content updating limited • Discussion forum • Creating FAQs • Learning interactivity • Demanded creative designing • Is internet quality dependent

  23. Preliminary lessons learned • CBT administration a challenge • Limited ’learning community’ development • Post-course learning transfer remains critical
