Sustaining performance in rapid e-learning
A free guide on how to ensure your learners get the best from rapid e-learning. The traditional model of 'design, develop, deliver' is out of date for e-learning. Rapid e-learning needs a different approach, one that enables constant updating and feedback to sustain learner performance and ensure e-learning remains vital and relevant. Experienced learning designers realise that once e-learning is launched, the real work begins.
The Insider’s Guide to e-Induction
If you’re thinking about what value an e-induction could bring to your organisation, what cost savings you might make, how an e-induction might fit in with your existing programme or even what an e-learning development process looks like, this guide will give you a great head start.
Assessment and e-learning
One of the abiding anxieties we have about exams is that they don't assess the right thing. There are also concerns about the effect on motivation of too much testing, the disruption it causes, the fact that too much assessment is end-of-course (summative) rather than continuous (formative) and the sheer workload it adds for both examiners and examinees. In other words, assessment itself scores pretty badly! Find out what online technologies can do to improve the situation in this stimulating new white paper.
