In this blog we are going to demonstrate the steps to add custom fonts to the theme.


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.
