#653: Need To Learn? Step Right This Way Please<br />

Make sure that companies create e-Learning rooms within their spaces. Don't let people learn behind their own<br />

PC at their own workplace. An e-Learning room enhances motivation and concentration for better results.<br />

#654: From Interruptions to Understanding<br />

To combat the interruptions that occur when a student is taking an e-event at their desk ("I know you're<br />

online, but I just had a quick question"..."If you are just listening to the presenter, can you help me with this<br />

a second"... etc.) we have printed out a page that announces that the student is in training - Do Not Disturb<br />

- and hand it out with yellow plastic tape (like a crime scene) to be posted over office/cubicle "entrance".<br />

This really stops people in their tracks, and makes them feel really guilty if they interrupt the student.<br />

#655: Help Busters<br />

If e-Training is created in-house, include a customer response email, phone number, and/or online help to<br />

use when introducing new programs. If the e-Training is created outside, include some way for students to<br />

get additional help. For example: toll-free help line, email technical support, listing of training resources,<br />

and/or online tips. In either case, they need to know who to call.<br />

#656: Human Interaction Wanted<br />

If you can provide a tutor or some other method of providing live (or near-live) assessment and feedback, great!<br />

#657: Do You IM?<br />

Instant messaging is critical to the success of any trainer-supported e-Learning program.<br />

Although you may experience some problems (corporate restrictions, non-approved browser<br />

plug-ins required, succeptibility to pop-ups etc.), the benefits are worth exploring.<br />

#658: "Hand Hold" Support By Walking Around<br />

Build in "customer care" initiatives. Your learners are your customers, so build in activities before and after<br />

the training so that they will feel supported. One thing I have done that was very well received was to<br />

provide desk or office visits to all of the participants to help them with their initial log on to e-Learning and<br />

make sure that there were no technical glitches. A bit of hand-holding is necessary in this case, especially<br />

if you encounter learners who are technophobes.<br />

#659: Tutoring Is Tutoring Is Tutoring<br />

Don't expect tutoring of online courses to be less demanding or time-consuming than teaching face to face.<br />

#660: Production Support: Hands-On Follows Online<br />

A blended approach is critical to the success of e-Learning in a production environment.<br />

Associates need a Subject Matter Expert to do hands-on follow up to online training material.<br />
