I believe the future of elearning will probably involve technologies and platforms that derive from current trends. Here are some possible trends I can think of: 1) MOOCs (massive open online courses) - They are just what they sound like. Massive! Originally, MOOCs emphasized the open access features such as the open licensing of content, structure, and learning goals. 2) mLearing (Mobile Learning) - Online courses are now readily accessible on mobile devices. Not only do mobile devices allow you to learn from anywhere, learning content can even make use of digital compasses, dual cameras, gyroscope, audio, etc to enhance learning experience. 3) Virtual Reality - Learners can now have a somewhat realistic experience. Just check out Microsoft HoloLens and you can imagine what the world will be in time to come. 4) Gamification - eLearning courses will likely resemble video games rather than just traditional lecture. Time to download Candy Crush! I have recently prepared and presented (to a client) a short writeup of 5 simple steps you can follow to effectively convert your existing offline learning content to online ones and would like to share with it here. Feel free to download from here. If you are interested in developing your own Learning Management Systems (LMS) or Learning Portals, we can help! We’ve work with our clients to design and develop eLearning and/or blended learning solutions that include webinars, classrooms, coaching, e-content, assessment and qualifications. Effective learning goes way beyond design and delivery. We also provide consultancy services on a range of levels to meet your needs. These include Scoping and Needs Analysis, to Evaluation of Implementation.

1. FUTURE OF ELEARNING
AND
WHY YOU SHOULD BE PREPARED FOR IT

2. CONTENT
• Why should I care about eLearning or blended
learning? (WHY)
• But I don’t know how to convert my program into
eLearning (HOW)

3. WHY SHOULD I CARE ABOUT
ELEARNING OR BLENDED
LEARNING?
(WHY)

4. WHY
• Everybody loves it!
• Potentially shortens the
face-to-face duration
• Learning duration
increases
• Easier to “up-sell” market
your training programmes
• Overseas clientele

5. BUT I DON’T KNOW HOW TO
CONVERT MY PROGRAM INTO
ELEARNING
(HOW)

6. HOW
• Analyse Content
• Determine the
eLearning content
• Determine the time
needed for the
eLearning content

7. HOW
• Determine Learning
Objectives
• Consider the level of
cognitive learning
• Align the eLearning
content to the L.O.

8. HOW

9. HOW
• Evaluate Course Format
• Read and click
• Feature text, some
images, probably
audio and basic quiz
questions
• Particularly useful for
compliance courses

10. HOW
• Evaluate Course Format
• Interactive learning
• Add quiz questions
within content of various
formats (easiest)
• More media than the
read and click format
and often include videos

11. HOW
• Evaluate Course Format
• Simulation (Highly
interactive)
• Involves a variety of
graphics, video,
audio, scenarios and
even some levels of
gamification

12. HOW
• Design the eLearning
Content
• Delivery of training
• Delivery of assessment

13. HOW
• Develop the eLearning
Content
• Format - Read and
Click, Interactive or
Simulation
• Forum support?
• Lesson download?
