elearning strategy

[sinead madden]

Hi there,

Just doing some reseach to see how others integrate e-learning into L&D business programs and if you use it with blended learning delivery.

Also if you have e-learning integrated into the L&D strategy or any learning policies etc? What is best practice for integrating elearning as key L&D delivery method.

If I may be as bold as to venture some advice as to the scope ......

1. Think Learning Technologies rather than e-Learning; e-Learning is a learning technology, but there many more learning technologies than e-Learning.

2. Think of "Blended Learning" as a blend of formal and informal learning rather than as a means of providing pre- and post-course content.

3. Ensure your strategy includes integrating learning and work, and user generated content.

4. Equally, ensure it provides for a mix of "push" and "pull"; conventional L&D strategies that focus exclusively on push are past their sell-buy date.

5. Include governance models and stakeholder engagment in your approach. And, finally

6.Include Learning Analytics in your thinking.

Hope that helps to clarify rather than obfuscate!
