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.

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.

How Important Is Elearning localization For Sales And Marketing Teams?

In a broader way, eLearning localization is understood as translating eLearning content into the language of the new target audience. However, the overall eLearning localization process, in fact, goes beyond translation as it includes handling different subtle aspects such as:

written content,
colors,
graphics,
fonts,
interface controls,
symbols,
currencies,
units of measurements,
audio,
video,
narrative tone,
learning approaches,
idioms and phrases,
abbreviations,
cultural references and
region-specific nuances

To put it precisely, eLearning localization includes translating and adapting training content to the targeted culture and language. The real challenge in localizing your eLearning course would be to make it understandable to the learner while maintaining it culturally suitable. On the other hand, learning in one’s mother tongue helps a learner understand the content comparatively in a better way. As a result, with eLearning localization, there is scope for learners to gain more access to multiple eLearning courses.
