Rapid E-Learning - Within Your Reach Last November Training Today had an article on the basics of E-learning. Whether you have read this article or are hearing more people talking about E-learning, you may still be faced with the challenge of how to get over the hump and get started. You are not an instructional designer, you do not have a lot of time to build courses and learn new software but you would still like to give it a try. Rapid E-learning might be just what you need to get on your way. Its popularity has exploded over the past few years growing at the rapid rate of 30% per year. Additionally, new tools are being launched constantly and many sites offer 15 to 30 day trials, free. For Better Training, Stir the Pot During my early years in engineering, I took as much training as I could convince my employers to pay for. Since I mostly worked for small companies, this usually meant that I was the only person from my company at the training. During introductions, I would size up the other participants and pick one or more of the others to ‘hang out’ with, especially during any group activities. I tried to pick someone who sounded like they had an interesting job or background.
A group of end users and OEMs came together in Cincinnati, Ohio, to discuss common issues around technical training. This group formed PMMI’s Technical Training Community of Practice, a networking group that will provide input to PMMI’s Certified Trainer Program. One of the main topics of discussion at the meeting was E-learning. |
