Brief Insights into Rapid e-learning

Here’s a brief summary on Rapid e-learning:

  • Focus on the basics like organizing the content and some simple graphic design concepts you find in books like the Non-Designer’s Design Book. Couple this with learning how to use the software.
  • Once you feel comfortable using the software, shift to creating the right type of look for your course. This isn’t about eye-candy. It’s a combination of aesthetic, context, and visual communication.
  • As you develop expertise building courses and get things to look the way you want, focus on what makes the course most meaningful. And that’s crafting a good learning experience.

Of course these steps aren’t necessarily linear or exclusive of each other. It’s just a simple way to look at the evolution of building a course.

It’s a lot easier to deliver an elearning course today than it was a few years ago. But it also puts a lot more pressure on individuals to do more with less. If you pick the right tools, get access to some low cost assets, and predetermine some of your course structure, you’ll be on your way to success.
