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.
