Rapid e-learning: it’s not just about the tools, says Kineo

The briefing paper, ‘7 Angles on Rapid E-learning’ delivers pragmatic advice on how to embed rapid e-learning in an organisation. Increasing number of UK organisations are adopting rapid e-learning, drawn by the potential savings in cost and time, however a misperception that it begins and ends with purchase of an authoring tool can result in dismal experiences for both learner and organisation.

“Rapidly developed bad e-learning is not what the world needs now,” says Stephen Walsh, Kineo Partner; “Rapid e-learning has the potential to break through the price barrier and make quality bespoke e-learning a real option for a wider audience than ever before. What’s maybe not so clear is how you go about doing it. Getting the right authoring tool is a start – but it’s only a start. Kineo’s view is that rapid thinking must run through the entire development process.”

Other points of the briefing include:

• Model behaviour: Use solid instructional design templates as the foundation
• Pick your spots: tactical outsourcing can lift your e-learning
• Rapid build + IT slowdown = bad news
