Implementing eLearning will require
funding, design and teamwork. Full preparation can take from a week to a year
depending on the size of the project. Here we have outlined 9 steps for your
eLearning roadmap.
Setting goals: -
Think about why you want to implement
eLearning and what goals you want to achieve. The larger the target, the more
complex the implementation strategy. For example, if you want to train a new
sales team, you can settle for product courses and general skills training.
However, if you want to increase the overall skill level of all staff in your
company, you will need to prepare individual training programs for each team.
Choose eLearning tools: -
If you have short-term plans or want
to implement something simple like direct mail, you don't really need complex
tools. However, if you want to create a learning environment, you should
consider using eLearning software, such as an LMS and an authoring tool.
The eLearning software allows you to
create eLearning content, such as video lessons, interactions, quizzes, etc. In
some cases, the authoring tool is optional, as you can purchase
over-the-counter content, such as out-of-the-box courses on general topics like
workplace safety. However, if you want to teach something specific, you will
need to prepare tailor-made content in-house.
Prepare a plan: -
Write a step-by-step plan and allocate a
budget for each step. Choose an LMS, create a dedicated team to manage the
system (administrators, trainers), and decide whether you will purchase the
educational content or develop it yourself.
Create content: -
After setting up, start developing
educational materials for your employees. At first, you won't need anything
fancy and fancy. Start by keeping it simple.
Prepare your LMS: -
Once your content is ready, upload it to the
LMS and organize it. Add files, associate courses in learning paths, etc. Make
sure all classes launch and display progress correctly.
Run a test: -
When the system is ready, invite a few
employees for a pilot session. This is all about monitoring everything and
collecting feedback, so that you can refine the training program before its
final launch.
Announce the launch with a campaign: -
Your employees should be made aware of
your new training solution. A simple direct mail will increase the conversion
rate by 10%.
Start training: -
Invite your employees to the LMS and
assign courses to them. This is the start of the training process. Once your
employees log in, they should see the courses assigned to them and they can
then start viewing them.
Monitor effectiveness: -
To measure the success of eLearning, use
built-in statistics, gather and compile employee feedback.
