Elliott Masie’s Personal e-Learning Tips<br />
Elliott Masie’s Personal e-Learning Tips<br />
(A bonus… 12 more tips)<br />
#1: Use the “e’ in e-Learning very sparingly.<br />
Call it learning, or maybe don’t call it anything. Just do it! Few people have ever said that they<br />
were having an e-commerce experience while ordering a book online.<br />
#2: Watch the rise and evolution of search engines like “Google”.<br />
I believe that Google is the number one e-Learning tool in the world. It is how workers and<br />
customers learn through their browsers.<br />
#3: Get the CEO and CFO to take an e-Learning course soon.<br />
Get photos of them engaged in e-Learning and post them in the cafeteria. When it is used at<br />
the top of the organization, the reputation of e-Learning grows dramatically.<br />
#4: Use less language of the classroom.<br />
Don’t virtualize the classroom! Instead, create language that is appropriate for e-Learning.<br />
#5: Older workers have weaker eyes.<br />
Use BIGGER fonts.<br />
#6: Keep the number of choices on any screen to less than 10 if possible.<br />
Or even better, to 3. The more choices the user has the less likely they are to choose anything<br />
other than departure.<br />
#7: People Multitask!<br />
Live with it! Every time I am learning or even teaching during an on-line session, I am usually<br />
doing at least 2 other things, including eating, drinking or checking my email.<br />
#8: Blended Learning is the NORM!<br />
Every learning experience will be BLENDED, whether overt or covert.<br />
#9: Rapid Development is happening!<br />
Business units require faster development, measured in days rather than weeks or months.<br />
#10: Build a few templates<br />
…and give the learner a comfortable and familiar set of navigational tools for ALL of the<br />
organization’s e-Learning.<br />
#11: Make it a one click motion.<br />
Ask learners on exiting an e-Learning resource if they are leaving because they got what they<br />
needed or if the learning wasn’t helpful.<br />
#12: Invite, Invite, Invite!<br />
e-Learning requires more invitation than classroom training, yet it often gets fewer invitational<br />
moments from line managers.<br />
