How to keep formal e-Learning relevant in the future

About

Why?

Trends

Is there a future for formal e-Learning, or is it something that will lose its

relevance?

*poll question

The big question

e-Learning could be still relevant, when we:

• Change the learning experience (more individual)

• Connect learning to the business• Bring didactics back into e-Learning, stop with

the PowerPoint like courses with page progress• Increase the speed of course production and

the way we control that process

Yes if,

I started looking for answers:• Management • Didactics• e-Learning• Software development

The bundled answers create:• Outcome learning

The search

To keep e-Learning relevant we need to change the way we:

• Manage• Develop• Learn

Change

A way to steer without control:• Output management by Filip VandenDriessche

A way to connect learning to the business and to steer by:• Action mapping by Cathy Moore• Learning objectives

A way to manage e-Learning development:• Agile development (Scrum)

The manager

Filip Vandendriessche:• Output management• Leading without commanding

Filip VandenDriesssche The manager

Output management

• Set (business) goals• Determine output

criteria• Do not interfere with

the solution; accept any solution that matches your criteria

The manager

Output management

e-Learning development method:• Define a business goal, that solves a

problem• Identify what people need to be able to do

= learning objectives• Set other criteria and let go

Action mappingand learning objectives

The manager

Software development method:• Set Business goals• Create backlog with user stories

together with product or project owner• Approve at demo

AgileAgile The manager

• Action mapping combined with learning objectives

• Use new learning metaphors• Use scenarios (cased based learning)• Develop in an agile way• Curate and moderate information

DeveloperThe developer

• Business goals translated into learning objectives• Translate objectives into activities• Choose didactical and presentation format• Supply information that is needed for these

activities• Choose correct didactical approach and make

sure that progress is measured by learning objectives

Action mappingand learning objectives

The developer

• Gives the learner a complete overview = control

• Enables the learner to create his own learning path

• Non linear representation of a didactic format

• Intuitive design and easy to use

Put someone in a certain situation and let him make decisions.

• Ideal connection with Action mapping and the workplace.

• Test not only knowledge, but also skills and insight

• Offer extra information to create a learning opportunity while doing the scenario

Learning scenarios The developer

Software development method:• Start with learning objectives• Work from backlog• Build in small iterations (2 – 4 weeks)• Present to client (demo with approval)

AgileAgile The developer

Information overflow• Curate:

• Find • Gather • Present

• Moderate:• Combine• Give overview and insight• Give guidance

Curate and moderate

The developer

• Learner in control• Selection, learning and reporting based on

learning objectives• Learning content presented in new metaphors• Learning connected to the workplace• Instant connection and collaboration between

Used sourcesConclusion

Formal e-learning will remain relevant, just as all forms of formal learning will.

But we need to change the way we manage and develop formal e-Learning in order to make this happen. We need to facilitate the learner.
