  E-learning is increasingly becoming the ‘go-to’ solution for learning and development as companies look to decrease costs and reach out to an expanding, global workforce. It has also skyrocketed to the forefront of organizational needs with the challenges that have recently been presented with working in a COVID-19 world. The problem is that most of the e-learning that is out there is poorly designed, and quite honestly, boring! Common missteps in approaches and techniques have learners simply clicking ‘next’ to get to the end of the training as quickly as possible.

  Addressing this dilemma is what inspired us to create “The 7 Fundamentals of Effective E-Learning.” 

  Based on our combined years of experience in the industry and drawing references from an award-winning compliance course, this session will present you with the key elements to include in your next e-learning module to make it more engaging, impactful, and fun!

  LEARNING OBJECTIVES

  In this session, you will learn:

  1. The 7 fundamental principles to utilize when designing effective e-learning.
  2. How to capture and keep your learner’s attention throughout the instructional event.
  3. The importance of storyboarding in purposeful e-learning design.
  4. How to implement learner autonomy and decision making in your course.
  5. Impactful approaches for learners to apply what they are learning.
  6. Why it is necessary to support your learners upon completion of their training.
