How To Script Performance-Based Learning Objectives?

 

Significance of learning objectives and tips for scripting performance-based learning objectives

Starting your eLearning course without defining the learning goal is like setting out on a road trip without a destination. In eLearning content development there are lots of tasks involved, lots of tools to use, and lots of parameters that can impact the success of your eLearning course. One such parameter is defining scripting of performance-based learning objectives for the course to explain the purpose, relevancy, or need.

What are Learning Objectives?
Learning objectives or the course objectives are the statements that describe what the learner will be able to achieve at the end of the learning process or the course. These objectives need to be very specific and measurable. A learning objective should clearly define the expected outcome of a course in terms of demonstrable skills or knowledge that will be acquired by the learner. Therefore, learning objectives are the backbone of a successful eLearning course.

Learning Objectives are the framework around which entire eLearning content is created and designed, also bring coherence and specificity to the training. Without learning objectives, learners just drift through the eLearning course without knowing the purpose of training. That’s why learning objectives play a very important role in the overall eLearning experience.

In essence, learning objectives should be brief, simple, and concrete statements about what your learners will be able to do due to the teaching, activities, and learning that has occurred at the end of a lesson. Learning objectives are also known as learning outcomes.

Create an Online Training Using Adult Learning Principles?

 

Getting productive online training during #covid-19 lockdown is a great opportunity to boost career, learning skills, and understand the value of e-learning. As learning and development (L&D) professionals, you want to create courses that inspire learners, change their mindsets and drive performance. In short, you want to create courses that are effective and hit the mark every time.

Now here’s the challenge. Your learners are adults with previous knowledge and fixed ideas and, they want learning experiences that help them to meet their needs and achieve their goals. To deliver such learning, either through a dedicated eLearning course or a more general organizational training program, adult learning principles (Andragogy) should be utilized to enhance their learning needs.

Basically, learning is a process that has its own distinct philosophies. But, when we talk about e-learning, the words “Andragogy” and “Pedagogy” are often used to create engaging and motivational learning as per their needs. Both of Greek origin, Andragogy literally translates to “Andras” (man) and “ago” (guide). On the other hand, “Pedagogy” means “Paidi” (child) and “ago” (guide). In simple terms, Andragogy is adult-focused learning, while pedagogy is child-focused learning.

Designing e-learning courses for adults requires a sound understanding of why and how adults learn. By understanding and applying Adult Learning Principles, Instructional Designers can create the right engagement quotient in e-learning courses.


Quality Assurance & Checklist for Courses with Accessibility

 

More than ever in these two decades – since e-Learning has been introduced, there is a growing demand for it as an effective learning mode. More and more Internet users are resorting to online learning who find it as an easy and practical way of learning about any topic or any course.

It is no surprise that in the coming years, online learning will certainly surpass any other mode of learning and will amass more learners throughout the world.

In this context of e-Learning spreading at such a rapid pace, e-Learning accessibility standards has its significance. The concept of e-Learning accessibility indicates that eLearning content should be accessible to all types of learners – regardless of their ability to access the content.

E-Learning accessibility is, in fact, a responsibility of the content developers and is also a challenge for them as it has to address various kinds of disabilities such as visual impairment, hearing impairment, mobility and cognition.

Numerous countries across the world have already made it clear and mandatory that all e-Learning content (as it is part of web content) should be accessible to all users – whatever be the disability or challenge.

Tips To Design User Interface (GUI) For Elearning Courseware Development

 

In this blog, we are going to discuss about the use of visual elements for designing eLearning courses, that is, Graphic User Interface (GUI)/ User Interface (UI) for an eLearning courseware development.

Human beings are visual in nature, we respond to visual data more than any other form of data. The human brain processes visual/images 60,000 times quicker than text, and 90 percent of information transferred to the brain is visual.

Did you know, experts trust that the information is 6 times more likely to be stored in brain when presented visually.

So, we can utilize this natural skill in eLearning development process to enhance eLearning design. It makes learning/collaboration easier, that impact organizational performance. Visually rich design keeps the learner’s eyes occupied, and the brain will be alert and active to consume information.



Importance Of eLearning Quality Assurance To Deliver Bug-Free Courses

 

Just like any other product that is going to be released into the market, an e-learning course also needs quality assurance (QA) before it is launched to the learners. However, quality assurance is much more significant to e-learning because, the overall development happens in multiple categories, which are completely divergent to one another, yet all congregate to form a wonderful course to engage and delight the learners. These divergent categories involve multiple tasks such as – instructional design, storyboarding, video editing, screen recording, animations, audio and video recording, graphic designing, translating text, providing sub titles and publishing the course. For all these individual categories, the quality assurance should happen separately and when the final course is published, efficient testing should be done for the probable bugs.

Hence, the production of an e-learning course – end to end – is a gigantic task which needs quality assurance at each level to enhance the user experience. Quality assurance is like a current flowing underneath at every level of the development, without which the outcome would be shabby and unimpressive. Quality assurance in e-learning development, in fact, addresses various business aspects in a disguised way. It assures e-learning course quality, enhances product improvement, gains learner satisfaction, improves business standards, and eventually wins more and more customers.
