In the current challenging business climate many organisations are working with constrained budgets, particularly in areas such as marketing and HR. The impact is that they have to look at innovative strategies to do more with less.
Ensuring effective learning outcomes are delivered
In e-learning today the natural response to this new business climate is going “Rapid”. Rapid e-learning allows the organisation to create training for new products or new processes internally using their own Subject Matter Experts.
One reason for going Rapid is cost – drastically reducing the cost it takes to deliver e-learning. Another, just as important element is effectiveness. Effectiveness is measured by the quality of learning outcomes – to what extent does the training change the behaviour of the learner in the real world.
In e-learning, it is agreed that the more interactive a course is the better its learning outcome and effectiveness will be. The level of interactivity in e-learning is the degree to which the learner engages with the subject matter – thus combining the learners existing knowledge with the subject matter at hand, enabling the learner to reflect on their current practices.
In-house & interactive
Interestingly, the best rapid e-learning solutions can quickly deliver both low cost and highly interactive content that generate the learning outcomes required without the need for external suppliers. Rapid e-learning solutions, like the one from Mohive, have a large number of templates to make it easy to create interactive content. Using the templates, in-house subject matter experts (SMEs) can quickly create interactive e-learning.
Summary
Incorporating rapid e-learning courses created by SMEs into your training strategy enables faster delivery of courses without compromising the learning outcomes and ensures HR delivers against the training needs of the company effectively with minimum allocation of resources; a wise strategy in tough business conditions.
