Chapter 6: Global & Cultural Perspectives<br />

- How NOT To Get Lost In Translation<br />

What is involved when implementing training programs globally? More than “just” e-Learning!<br />

Your toolbox also needs to consider and plan for changing time zones, translation and<br />

localization, cultural sensitivity, language and accents, differing bandwidths and infrastructure,<br />

round-the-clock support, and the appropriate use of colors and graphics to name just a few<br />

additional components.<br />

#349: International Awareness-o-Meter<br />

When launching an e-Learning program globally, it’s important to promote awareness,<br />

community, and learning value. This can be accomplished by targeting three key areas within<br />

the launch plan: 1) marketing & communications – increase awareness and demand for the e-<br />

Learning offering, 2) web development – attract and engage users through online communities,<br />

3) course development – increase learning value through dynamic content.<br />

#352: Viva La Diferencia<br />

An e-Learning solution which is effective in one work group or one location/country is often not appropriate<br />
