Hey, Who Moved My Administration & Support?<br />

#638: Need and Relevance Drive Customer Usage<br />

Try to establish a "need" so the user is encouraged to absorb and understand the material<br />

rather than just remember it. And don't expect users to voluntarily sign up for online classes<br />

- even a 10 minute module will get pushed to the bottom of the pile if it has no relevance to that<br />

person at the time.<br />

#639: Support Pillars Hold Up The Structure<br />

Provide ongoing support - either from a mentor, tutor, manager or someone else. There is a<br />

strong need for an online learner to feel connected, not isolated.<br />

#640: Keep That Support<br />

Did you know that e-Learning doesn't necessarily save work labor? You still need qualified<br />

workers to be in the class, to help the students, and supervise them.<br />

#641: Auto Response Rules "In A Box"<br />

Consider using a sequential autoresponder to create follow up emails. We use them to reinforce<br />

key principles of our content, remind our participants about certain tasks or habits, and to<br />

deepen the understanding by highlighting different aspects of our content. What are our internal<br />

rules? 1. Since everybody is in a kind of rush, keep your emails short and precise. 2. If you have<br />

more to say, use a link to a webpage to present longer content. 3. Send out messages with a<br />

positive attitude. 4. Keep the rhythms reasonable. One email per week in most cases is enough.<br />

5. Give an unexpected freebie (eBook, free course etc.) at the second or third email. 6. Allow<br />

participants to get the next tip now, if they wish. 7. Always allow one to unsubscribe, of course.<br />

8. Ask for feedback when the series is over.<br />

#642: Connected, Not Lonely<br />

In blended courses, students should get some kind of a message from tutors every day.<br />

Otherwise, he/she will feel alone.<br />

Marek Kotowski<br />

#643: Let The Social "Safety Net" Work For You<br />

We must not forget the social dimensions of learning. Build it in all your processes and customer<br />

contact opportunities.<br />

Dieter Stößel<br />

#644: We're All Different<br />

Remember that some people may need help adapting to "‘getting to know people" via a solely written medium.<br />
