Getting Started: The ABC’s of “e”<br />

#22: One Step At A Time<br />

First step: think about Learning. Second step: think about e-Learning.<br />

#23: Begin By Connecting The Dots<br />

Always always always start with the business need the e-Learning is intended to meet. If you<br />

can't draw a straight line from the course or Performance Support you are proposing to a<br />

bottom-line business result, then don't do it. The only valid way to "make a business case" for e-<br />

Learning is to start with the needs of the business.<br />

#24: Training Is For Life<br />

If you believe that your training is finished, you may be trained but you are finished.<br />

#25: Just Getting Started? Making It Required May Lead To Success<br />

Often an e-Learning course is successful because it is required. Associating a test with the completion of the e-<br />

Learning effort could lead to success especially in an environment new to this method of learning.<br />

#26: So Well Said!<br />

On the road to e-Learning, make sure that Learning is in the driving seat, and Technology is in the passenger<br />

seat with the map. Learning decides the destination, Technology helps you get there.<br />

#27: Start From Square One<br />

Analyze if/when online learning makes sense in your organization. Perform a needs analysis. Is<br />

there management buy-in? Do learners have access to the right equipment and software?<br />

Analyze which e-Learning delivery method is best: Blended/Hybrid Courses (part classroom,<br />

part online); Synchronous (online course, with instruction taking place in real-time via the<br />

Internet); Asynchronous (courses taken independently with minimal instructor support).<br />

#28: Don't Get Myopic About e-Learning<br />

E-Learning is only one of the many, many resources available to you to meet your<br />

organization's learning needs. Use it appropriately. I got caught up in the hype until I was<br />

forced to step back and gain perspective about all the available tools and resources. As a result,<br />

my toolbox is now equipped to handle each job in a more effective and efficient manner.<br />

#29: e-Learning = Change<br />

Treat e-Learning as a "Change Initiative," not just another training program. E-Learning will<br />

represent a behavior change for most employees so you and your trainers need to act as<br />

"change agents." If your organization has a Change Management discipline, use some of the<br />

techniques to guide you as you implement.<br />
