Here are some tips for establishing a structured e-learning course development plan. Mastering these steps will enable you to deliver clear, complete and engaging courses that can then be analysed in reports without the stress of missing vital parameters.
The aim of this plan is to put the learner at the centre of your project and to reinforce your corporate culture in a sustainable way. All the while achieving your KPIs with confidence.
Interviewing subject-matter experts
Interviewing the subject-matter experts to get valuable insights into the mission and understand the information that are effective and speak to the needs of learners.
By talking to experts, you can gain an understanding of the topics that learners need to know and the best way to present them.
This can help you create an engaging course that keeps learners motivated and helps them retain knowledge.
This feedback phase will help you design effective course content that will meet learners' needs.
Interviewing learners.
Interviewing learners is an exciting way to get to know them and their needs better.
By asking questions about their expectations, challenges, and job aids, you can gain valuable insight into how to design an effective training program.
The best way to prepare for these interviews is to come up with a list of questions beforehand and make sure to give the learner plenty of time to answer.
Interviewing learners is a great opportunity for you to gain insight into what will make your program effective, and this helps to get them to adopt the project!
List the goals.
It is difficult to leave if there is no destination! It is important to list the objectives and to segment them.
One objective per course and no more so as not to cognitively overload the learners. It is also essential to adopt microlearning.
Each step of the learning process must have clearly stated objectives.
Know your KPIs
From the outset it is important to establish the factors that will measure the success of the project. Firstly, it allows you to draw a clear line towards your goal.
And finally to evaluate with your team if the project is checking all the boxes. This evaluation is done with the managers and learners.
Storyboard and Instructional design
Here is my favorite phase, the digitization of knowledge into activities, i.e. interactive content to keep the learner's attention at the highest level.
Key words: concentration, retention of information and the pleasure of learning! Creating the storyboard with an instructional designer is a key step!
Design and Branding
Strive for quality by taking care of the smallest details of the project. Working with a creative team guarantees optimum engagement with pleasant, clear and above all highly educational content!
It is of course an important branding exercise for your company. This opportunity should not be missed!
Video and Audio
It is difficult to read on a screen, so you need to convert as much text as possible into audio content. The use of video is also an excellent way to boost the attractiveness of your eLearning course. Video-based learning is an innovative and exciting approach to teaching.
Chat, Forum and Webinars
Every opportunity is good to invite your learners into discussion sessions. It is also vital to include your audience in the design and development of your content.
It is important to transform your LMS into a Learning Experience platform. You need to be open to exchange and interaction!
Gamification : Leaderboard, Certifications and Awards
Never lose an opportunity to celebrate every completion! Gamification is also about creating rankings for positive competitiveness. The delivery of badges and awards and finally certification!
A certification is a good opportunity to build your brand and gain visibility.
Test et améliorations
An eLearning course is a living, constantly evolving organ. It needs to be tested, listened to, and validated by the learners, and then started again! There will always be room for improvement and innovation. Let's keep listening and being creative!
