Lessons Learned[edit | edit source]

  • Many learning modules have a short shelf life, so the most cost-efficient way to produce the content is through SME-developed, rapid authoring using PowerPoint.
  • In many cases, you don’t need an LMS to launch and track the learning. The content map approach provides more flexibility when accessing learning content.
  • Competencies should most often be measured on-the-job and not through online learning. Online learning works well for teaching, but assess outside the course using more traditional measures.
  • If more interaction is needed for instructional purposes, add a “learn more” link to provide additional opportunities. These can be online, such as simulations, or perhaps can even give someone an assignment to talk to another person or engage in on-the-job learning.
  • Content stored in PowerPoint is much easier to translate than content organized in other authoring tools.
  • PowerPoint-converted learning can be used for self-paced learning, but many people overlook its potential for using the same material for group learning in a classroom setting. We’ve found that it works great for facilitated learning.
