The Campaign for Effective eLearning - twitter hashtag: #c4ee

The eLearning Network works to support technology-led learning in all its forms. We connect people and organisations and encourage collaboration. Our members share knowledge and best practices and highlight future trends. And this is why we know that elearning can be about so much more than just the ‘next’ button. Our campaign aims to help everyone create and commission better elearning content, systems and apps.

Join our campaign to:

Leave ineffective elearning behind
Encourage learning design best practices
Showcase interesting, innovative and effective  elearning
Support the adoption of new technologies including mobile and social
Demonstrate the results and business impact that elearning can deliver

Throughout the year, we will promote elearning best practice and innovation through our conferences and events, webinars and other online and social networking activity. We’ll be highlighting examples of excellence and sharing how to create effective elearning by avoiding the common pitfalls.

How to get involved:

Start by joining the eLN. At a basic level it’s free and will give you access to our regular newsletters and site resources.
Come along to events and learn from the experts. Ask questions, share knowledge and engage with others online and in person.
Put your story in the Spotlight! We’re highlighting effective elearning in our new Spotlight series. If you’ve seen, built or commissioned a great piece of elearning content, a system or an app that has been highly effective, let us know so we can all learn from it.
The aim is to share examples of elearning excellence with our members and drive the adoption of effective elearning in all its many shapes and sizes.

Simply enter your details here or nominate someone's work that you admire, and say briefly what stands out and why. A member of the eLN Board will then get in touch to discuss your nomination in more detail. Shout when something is great. If you’ve seen, built or commissioned a great piece of elearning content, a system or an app that has been highly effective, let us know so we all can learn from it.

International Women’s Day: How women in the industry are working to make elearning more effective

International Women’s Day has been observed since the early 1900s. Annually on 8 March, thousands of events are held throughout the world to inspire women and celebrate achievements. So the eLN decided to celebrate the achievements of some of the amazing women working in the elearning industry today. As part of our Campaign (#C4EE) we explored how they are each working towards making elearning as effective as possible.

Thanks to all the wonderful women below who gave up their time to tell us their elearning secrets. And a special thanks to Cheryl Clemons from Brightwave, featured here, whose idea it was to delve into how the women of the industry are working towards making elearning effective.
