Delivering On The Promise of eLearning - Free Whitepaper Review
“eLearning” is probably the largest growth sector in training and development. While its adoption has been somewhat faddish, with a lot of bandwagon jumping, there’s no question that there is great promise. There are now over two decades of empirical data to look at to discover what works and what doesn’t with the use of elearning in business training environments.
Adobe has produced an excellent free white paper entitled “Delivering on the promise of elearning”, suitable for both beginners and more experienced trainers and managers looking to improve their roi’s (return on investment) on elearning systems. You can get your free copy by clicking here.
It begins with a short overview of what is driving the use of learning software — The drive to share ideas and information. It then describes the elearning market, and outlines the different varieties of learning and training techniques that fall under the “elearning” rubric. The report outlines:
- Virtual Classroom
- Rapid eLearning
- Online Learning
- Mobile Learning
- Performance support systems
Additional sections explain why elearning matters to individuals and enterprises, the importance of creating engaging experiences, and concludes with lessons elearned, and additional references.
The paper is full of research findings, and references, and it’s only about nine pages. Highly recommended. Get it here!
