High Signal/Low Noise – Promoting Learning Like A Pro!<br />

#463: Announce Your Rollout In Different Ways<br />

When working in the corporate environment, do not solely depend upon email for distribution.<br />

Provide voicemail and hardcopy announcements of the rollout too.<br />

#464: Get Participants On Your Side<br />

Communicate the challenges of technology, explain that you are trying new things in new ways, explain<br />

that there may be glitches but you have a backup plan. They will understand that sometimes things don't<br />

go right. What they don't understand is not being prepared for when things DO go wrong.<br />

#465: Provide Contact Info<br />

Make e-Learning sound progressive, fun, and time-saving - everyone welcomes that. And<br />

provide a phone number or email address for questions or clarifications. Learners like to know<br />

there's a real, live person somewhere in this mix.<br />

#466: Don't Just Hope, Market<br />

If you build it, they will not just suddenly come. You have to market e-Learning, tie it to business goals<br />

and strategies, professional development career paths, or human capital strategies. You also have to<br />

assign accountability for the resulting learning objectives to the managers or the students themselves.<br />

The worse thing for a company implementing e-Learning strategies for the first time is to buy or build a<br />

large catalog and hope that people within their organization will just be excited and sign up for the<br />

courses on their own. All e-Learning implementations should include a strong internal Marketing Plan.<br />

#467: Market in Parallel to Classroom<br />

Announce and market e-Learning much the same way your company announces training now. Follow the<br />

training culture in place - if you have a class coordinator for training, use one for<br />

e-Learning too. Just as with live classroom, touch base with the students, only do so by email. Ask them<br />

how they are doing. Do this as an individual email and not a group version to the whole class. Or say you<br />

noticed that they have not started the course, could you help in any way. Set a time limit for completion.<br />

Provide a means of help and a little hand holding. Once the student has met the requirement, see if they<br />

are interested in something else in the catalog for self improvement, and give it to them as a reward. Also<br />

ask for some feedback when the course is finished.<br />

#468: Shout It From The Rooftops<br />

Evangelize e-Learning from the top down and actively market internal achievements.<br />

Gary Duffield<br />

Xpertise Training Limited<br />

#469: Keep Management Informed To Retain Buy-In<br />

To maintain management buy-in, make sure to obtain feedback from key players during the<br />

development stages and inform them of your progress.<br />
