Elearning projects are complex beasts. They combine both creative and technical processes, often involve large numbers of stakeholders and have an annoying habit of going over time and/or over budget. For these reasons great elearning project managers are hard to find and it's even tougher to get them to share their tips for success.

In this informative webinar, the first of six we will be running this year with the Association for Learning Technology, David Wilson of Elearnity and Rob Hubbard of LearningAge Solutions will describe the most common reasons elearning projects go wrong, based both on personal insights from over 30 years of combined experience of managing complex elearning projects and from their corporate research on the subject. They will also share some tips and best practices to manage risk and help your projects run more smoothly.

The fastest way to gain inspiration for your own elearning projects is to learn from those with proven records of success; organisations who have overcome the pitfalls and challenges that come with any major change programme, and who have been able to exploit the many opportunities that elearning brings. At this event you'll get the chance to hear from winners of the E-Learning Awards for 2009, to learn what it takes to be the best in all aspects of workplace elearning.

Whether you're spending £0 or £1m on your elearning tools, platforms or content, it's important that you're getting value for money. Low-cost solutions used appropriately can yield fantastic benefits, but if they don't meet your objectives, they are a poor investment. At this event we'll look at the opportunities provided by rapid elearning, DIY solutions, open source software, informal media and social networks, but also at how to best leverage your investment in bespoke content development and top-of-the-market tools and technologies.

Our annual showcase provides an opportunity for eLN members to demonstrate their skills and their products. Learn about industry-leading learning solutions, rub shoulders with some of the brightest minds in our field and join in debates on learning issues.

Talk about elearning in the workplace and most people think of self-study courses delivered via computer. Of course this can be an effective way to meet a business need, but elearning now encompasses far more than this: mobile learning, simulations, 3D learning environments, performance support systems, knowledge management, informal media and more. At this event we'll investigate learning technologies in the broadest sense, identify when each form of elearning is likely to be effective, and learn from those who have successfully thought beyond the confines of the course.

Compliance training presents a challenge to many organisations. There are certain topics about which you are compelled to provide training, yet these often end up becoming 'tick box' exercises rather than effective learning interventions. But these topics are a legal requirement for a reason - they are important. So how do you get your employees to engage with this sort of training and to commit to changing their behaviour? By looking at industry-leading compliance solutions and real-world examples we'll reveal approaches that really work.
