Combatting the e-learning myths
7th April 2014
With the increase of online courses, it can be hard to know what is true and what has been misunderstood with regards e-learning. Here OCB Media combat a number of preconceptions discussed by learners and course co-ordinators…
Switching from classroom learning to e-learning is easy
Assuming that your well designed classroom course will function in the same way online would be slightly naïve; creating a strong e-learning course needs design skill, knowledge of how best to deliver the course, and an understanding of how people will learn independently. Often the best online courses are nothing like their classroom equivalent. This is why it’s always best to create online content by working with specialist experts, such as OCB Media.
E-Learning should be fun
Whilst learner engagement is important, you need to remember that your objective is learning. Setting up a game situation could prevent a learner getting to the content they need at the pace they feel appropriate.
Creating training will be enough
To provide valuable training, you need to do more than just create a course. You need to engage the learner and ensure that your employees participate and take away what you need them to from the training.
Employees dread e-learning
Employees hate bad e-learning. Creating a well-designed, highly interactive, personalised, content driven course will have a positive reaction.
