"According to the Harvard Business Review (HBR), companies spent millions of dollars on eLearning and yet they are not happy. Why? Because the eLearning courses in today's world are not standing out as they supposed to be. One of the most common reason experts found is not having a good relationship between SMEs and Instructional Designers. Although, they both have great potential and bring so much on the table. SMEs knows their technical proficiency, but they are not always familiar with the learning process. Likewise, instructional designers know the science of learning but often unfamiliar with the technicalities of the subject or topic.

This session will help you to discover techniques to handle critical situations and aligning the thought process between SME and ISD .

According to ATD’s State of the Industry report, organizations spent $1,296 per employee on learning in 2017. Yet many companies are not happy with the return of investment they receive from training expenditures. Organizations aren’t happy with the ROI because current courses are not driving the results they’re supposed to be achieving. Driving performance via eLearning courses seem to be a biggest challenge these days. How can we solve this problem? As an Instructional Designer, this is our main responsibility to identify the problem first and then come up with the best solution. If you are a training or LMS administrator, you would know that when learner finishes the course, it shows completed in the LMS with the End-of-Course scores. Either of them will not help you to identify the skill gap. For companies, it’s imperative to know how performance is measured and how eLearning courses could help. Finding a common denominator between performance and learning would help instructional designers to analyze the gap. In this session, you will explore the model separating knowledge and skill based learning from the course. You will learn how I created personas with must-have skills and each skill is divided into three categories: Novice, Proficient, and Advanced. The biggest takeaway of this session is to share the module with multiple assessments in Storyline. This session concludes with some amazing case studies of IT companies and how skill based impacted the performance.
